Is Krakow Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Krakow

Krakow is really tourist friendly. There’s a lot of main attractions where’s a lot of people who’ll always try to help with anything. In center or more crowded places you may find some homeless people but they’re not a problem they won’t do anything to you sometimes they might ask you for money but just say no and go.

Overall Poland is a safe country, but in big cities especially and Krakow is one of the safest. Of course, like every city, it has a little homeless people, but they are not a worry at all for me. I haven't witnessed any bigger crimes myself, and I have lived here since birth. I have not once come home after dark and nothing had happened to me. Also, Krakow is the place when people see something is wrong. They will likely come and help you - although they can not smile to you randomly on the street 😆

I feel very safe here because in the city there is always cameras, and its very hard to find someone Who can disturb you. I feel safer than how i felt when i lived in italy so there is not a lot to worry abiut

I would say it’s pretty safe! In public areas where there are some people around it’s very safe. If you are alone after dark you should be cautious - as everywhere else - but personally, in my whole life, I’ve never been harassed here.

There are lots of security cameras in the city. People here are taking care of each other, even strangers. Police is patrolling the city regularly - also at night. Public transport is monitored and if something happens a lot of people would help or defend someone from the danger

Perfectly safe, nothing bad has ever happened to me. The only inconvenience in terms of safety may be drunk men in the old town on Friday night but there's always a lot of people so it's still not that concerning

Kraków is full of tourist, but still safe. Great sity for solo traveling. Even at night when I go back to my home I find worry at all, just going without worries. Public transport is also safe at this time

Poland is generally safe as a country. Cracow is a big city so it is not the safest but still okay. You can hear about some attacks or assaults mostly at clubs when people are drunk. It is better to stay away from nightlife especially near city centre. Beside that generally it is very safe and comfortable.

It's safe. I never had trouble. People mind their own business. I often went out in the evening and nothing ever happened. It would be a lot bad luck to experience crime. We have people of many different countries

It is very safe overall, I live here my whole life and there were maybe few minor situations I had. Of course there is always a possibility but in general main part of town is very safe. There are some areas in Cracow that are blocks with higher crime rate, but it’s still very safe during a day, also these are not areas typical for tourists.

Solo travel

I really liked this town and I'm dreaming every day to come back and walk those streets again. This city is a dream come true tbh, the views, food and attractions are ON THE TOP, literally. Breads similar to bagels, called obważanki are amazing.

Solo travel

Krakow was my first solo trip ever and I’ve had half a day to explore the city between my flight connection to Aarhus. It turned out to be not as scary as I expected and although I was too petty to stay in the hotel for only 5 hours and decided to sleep on a bench in an airport, before, I had plenty of time to roam around and see AMAZING places. The thing I liked the most was the mix of old historical and contemporary architecture. Then goes the safety overall, I not one single time felt unsafe or tried to put my phone deeper in my pocket haha :). The prices were slightly lower than in Denmark, where I live right now. Overall, I underestimated Poland and next time I will go to (maybe?) Warsaw with my architect-student boyfriend to explore different corners of this beautiful country together! 🤟
