After one year living in Gdańsk I can say that it is very safe I am always going alone to the train or bus station at 3 or 4am not dangerous at all French people who are living here say that it is safer than Paris

Gdańsk feels Safe. I have never experienced something dangerous here, i don't feel fully free to walk around at night everywhere, but It comes from my general worry about walking as a woman at night in every city

It is as safe as you can imagine. I feel so comfortabke living here. I have no experience in being attacked in a sexual way or robbed. From time to time I spend my time somewhere in a club dancing to latin music or hanging out in a pub with my friends and it never made my feel unsecure.

Poland is in my opinion very safe country. Gdansh is beautiful city full of galleries, pubs, caffes and people there mind their own business. I had no problem with anything. Olny there are no shops open after 8pm, which i am not used to, but if you buy food for breakfast during the day, you are safe;)

I really liked Gdansk. I didn't have a great desire to visit, but I found incredibly cheap flights. Visiting this place is relatively cheap, it has beautiful architecture and there is a beach about 20 minutes away by taxi and 30 minutes by train. I visited this place alone and felt completely safe.

This was my first solo travel in the age of 18. I booked an very cheap hostel with single room but shared bathroom. The room was really ok but the bathroom stinked so much :D Mostly I experienced nature. My favorite activity was to walking by the see with my foot in the water ale looking into sea.

Gdansk is such a charming place. Walking around downtown, all the colorful houses look adorable. There is the Long Market, the main pedestrian street with cafes, shops, and fountains. I went to the World War II museum, but it was a bit overwhelming for me. I recommend trying Pierogarnia Stary Młyn for good, traditional pierogi.
