solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

Its safe. Be careful around city center, its very touristic. The most unsafe its around british tourists (male) :) but overall ...krakow is relaly safe..just buy tickets for public transportation, use bolts and ubers and your good.

Me and my friends have been catcalled a lot in the old town area however it was never beyond. Drunk people may disturb you late at night. These were minor inconviences. At the end its a nice place to visit and I would say that its safe. I've been out late at night most of the time!!
