How safe is Katowice?
Looks not so good estetically, but its safe. I feel comfortable coming back home at night as a woman. You have to be always caferful tho, because no matter where you are something can happen. You can go

Nothing ever happened to me personally, but I would rate the safety of the city 6/10. I heard some stories of robbery and harrassment but never experienced it myself. I also live in the city center and I feel pretty safe walking home at night. However it might be not that safe in the other parts of the city.

Poland is generally safe, especially non-tourist destinations like Katowice. There are many parks and attractions but there is no reason to worry about your safety. I wouldn’t recommend visiting Załęże and Szopienice but the rest is absolutely fine.
