Is Krakow safe for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

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)

Couple travel

Felt super safe l, we had amazing walk around a city centre, then we tried thai food and it tasted delicious, we had some nice drinks at he local pub ❤️ amazing experience will be back!!!! Ps recommend to try „obważanka” before 12 o clock otherwise they not that fresh

Group travel

Even at night I felt quite safe, but in the tenement house where we stayed there was a homeless man sleeping in the staircase, but he was calm. The area was very nice, about a kilometer from the market square. The food is of good quality

Solo travel

I traveled to Krakow solo and felt completely safe the whole time, even at night. The city is very walkable and easy to navigate. I stayed at a budget-friendly hostel near the Old Town, which was perfect for meeting other travelers. Highlights: Wawel Castle, Schindler’s Factory, and a day trip to Auschwitz (powerful and emotional—book in advance). For food, I recommend Milkbar Tomasza and trying zapiekanka in Kazimierz. Public transport is reliable, but I mostly walked. I spent about 40 EUR/day, including meals, museum entries, and transport. My itinerary: Day 1 – Old Town + Wawel; Day 2 – Auschwitz; Day 3 – Kazimierz + Vistula river walk. Krakow is perfect for solo travelers!

Family travel

I visited Krakow twice and both times I wasn't disappointed. It may be that I'm from the CZ (and PL is similar) but I always felt at home & safe. The people were nice & the sights were beautiful in this historic place. I highly recommend visiting the museum of Schindler's Factory especially if you like history, Wieliczka salt mines and the historical city centre. The food here is typical Slavic/central European cuisine but there's also plenty of restaurants which offer various other meals. We got around by car which was kinda long so if you can, park near the centre and go on foot, even walking through the city is a beautiful experience 😍❤️🇵🇱

Kraków is a very safe city overall. In the city center, the only thing you have to look out for are pick picketers but thats not really common. Be careful at night, there are a lot of drunk people (mostly tourists) but it’s not very dangerous, just be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine.

For me Krakow is very safe. I’ve never been or been worried about being pickpocketed or robbed. I live here for 2 years right now and I can tell I’ve felt twice at max not so safe, but also nothing happened, coz i just walked away. I also think it’s pretty safe in the night

Heavily depends on the area, but overall it’s a safe city - I go on walks alone after dark and I’ve never been bothered by anyone. I’ve never been robbed, mogged etc and I don’t know anyone who has. I also have no experience in being sexually harassed or raped but you might hear a comment or two from local drunkards.

I believe it's a safe city - sometimes someone will act weird or men will act "like men" but in general it's safe & you get rarely interrupted. I carry safety tools such as paper gas just in case of an emergency but never had to use it and I go out a lot.

Kraków is where I was born and where I live and it’s definetely one of the safest cities in the world. I came back alone at night to my apartment multiple times, we don’t have pickpockets, people are welcoming and I would recommend it to visit for many women
