Based on the news what happened here and my personal feelings, something’s I feel insecure by walking here at the evening. But in general Gdańsk is a pretty safe city, I’m not scared about being robbed, I feel secure in my apartment. Just scared of walking alone after dark

I feel very safe in Gdansk, there is maybe couple places that’s are not grey at night alone but even then nothing ever happen to me or my friends. Public transport is safe, if there is something I would worry about it is only drunk people.
Posted: August 9, 2025I think Gdańsk is a very safe place, I've never experience any unpleasant situation in public and I think it's very tourists- and women-friendly. I'm not worried about visiting any district of the city and in any case, I know it is very easy to get help here.

Gdańsk is a safe city where you can walk alone easily. I don't walk alone at night but I think it's better to be in a group after 10 pm - anyway many things will be closed at this time. Sometimes be careful in the public transport or areas around Orunia/Nowy Port but those are not touristic areas.

I would say that Gdańsk in front of the rest European cities is really safe place. I wouldn’t be worried that much of being murdered, kidnapped or raped. However there is a chance to be sexually harassed - by words and actions, but in dangerous neighborhoods like down town, Orunia, stogi, especially after dark.
