Is Krakow Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Krakow

Kraków is quite a safe city. There are some parts such as Nowa Huta that are better to stay away after dark, but aside from that it is very safe. In the city centre there is always a lot of people, just be careful to be where the people are.

There are places where it is better not to go while attacks in broad daylight are rare. Poles have a negative attitude towards visitors because of the wave of immigrants who are now arriving In Europe, on the other hand, there is no record of racist attacks, sooner people will be silent than aggressive I believe. A lot of Poles speak English and are willing to help when needed. There are strong circles of soccer fans in Poland so it is better not to speak out about one's choices, but my impression is that this only applies to men. Women are treated with respect.

Krakow is a very safe city! As a woman living here solo for 1.5 years, I have never felt threatened or unsafe walking alone, even at night. Everyone is very friendly and open. The city is well communicated and well lit.

Kraków is overall really safe, especially the city center. It’s less safe in the poorer parts but the max I experienced was screaming or catcalling. During the day even that happens extremally rarely. At night there might be some drunk guys trying to hit on you but they are mostly harmless and will leave you alone when you ask.

Krakow is a beautiful city, perfect for a solo trip. In Poland and Krakow it is very safe, I do not feel threatened walking around the city alone or using transport. I definitely recommend it for your first (and every subsequent!) solo trip!

It’s a very safe city and very clean. Beautiful city with nice buildings lots of food options. Going to the clubs are very safe, transportation is very good and affordable. Must visit

Group travel

It was really safe as two women with my friend. We really liked how people minded their own business the whole time lol. You can see ancient places, if you like museums a lot(especially aviation) I recommend you to go see Kraków. We went there by train from Rzeszów for just 20 zł as students! Highly recommend!!!!!

Solo travel

I only stayed in Krakow for 1 night bit I had a great city tour, it was really nice as the sun was going down. I stayd in a hostel wich was very clean and I felt pretty safe as well. Also think that Krakow is quite budget friendly!
