I can definitely recommend a visit and stay here. The food is great, the weather is nice, and the people are friendly. It's a wonderful city to explore. Tomorrow, I'm going to visit Hel and the next town along the seacoast. I'll definitely come back.

How safe is Gdynia for women?

I feel like Gdynia is generally safe - especially in the more tourist districts like City Centre or Orłowo. I feel safe coming back home after dark both by public transport and walking. It's also pretty safe for people looking alternative and/or queer as this part of Poland is pretty tonerant. Drunk people might insult you but most probably won't attack you.

Gdynia in my opinion is a city with low crime, but we can experience some dangerous situations. Usually some creepy old and drunk man will come to you, call you a slut and go away, but sometimes they are more persistent. From my experience i can tell that other women are always here to help when they see you are in danger, or when you scream for help. Be safe girlies 💋

Gdynia fortunately it’s a very safe city. And i feel as save here as it can get. I had never have any problems here. I very often walk home from parties at night and only once I had bad experience nothing really happened but some men started to harass me not in the violent way but they were pretty annoying.

Gdynia is a fairly quiet place. Like everywhere, there are suspicious people, but there really aren't many of them here. I often go for lonely walks late at night and I don't have much to worry about.

It is pretty safe, you might get cat called or approached by drunk polish men, but it's never been too dangerous in my experience and I've never felt my life was seriously endangered. I love the city and although I feel safer living in the NL in comparison, I still feel Gdynia is a very safe city as for Poland.
