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)

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

very safe place to travel, it is very convient if you are solo-travel. at night be carefoul with drunk people in old town but they are mostly harmless. crime rate is low, traffic rules are super important, you should obey them perfectly because fees are high
Posted: April 29, 2026Krakow is one of the safest cities, especially for girls. One thing I really appreciate when I come back home is that I don’t need to always check behind my back to be sure for my safety. The only “danger” here is some drunk people
Posted: April 24, 2026You can freely walk around the city during nighttime and nobody would care. After the parties I can go home easily and I don’t even live in the city center so it takes time for me to go home. And even if I’m alone outside at night I’ve never had trouble with it.

Very safe city during both day and night. Crime rates are quite low. At night just be careful when you go out to old town, some drunk people might disturb the peace (I haven't experienced this myself, but I've heard from other people. Yes I used to go out a lot but did not see anything out of sorts but ofc just keep an eye out and you're good!)

About me
Hi!🧚🏼♀️ My name is Христина, but a lot of my friends call me Marmona (a long story), so you can call me that too! My parents decided that travelling with a baby is cool, so technically I’ve already been to hella lot of places. But my memory is not that good, so now i want to explore those places in my conscious mind 🥲 I love people and communication, but im afraid that I didn’t describe myself enough, so text me, maybe we will become good friends 🥹. As a Ukrainian, I never come empty handed, so if you will host me, be prepared for some presents 😌 Next destination is Italy 🇮🇹! Looking for accommodation in Rome 17.08-21.08(?) and in Naples 23.08-28.08 🥹❤️🔥 Currently I live in krakow, for studying, would love to host some people and can be helpful with information). And if u want to visit Ukraine, that’s also possible, my family lives there and my room is free, so text 🥰!

About me
Hii!! I am Amelia (but I go by Keira). I am 18 years old. I am a dreamer with a backpack, a heart full of compassion, and a passport that's never dusty for long. I am currently doing my senior class at JDJ IOS American High School Online. I believe travel is less about ticking off destinations and more about building bridges - especially between hearts and ideas. I love volunteering abroad and have a deep passion for projects that make a difference. Whether it's helping animals, working with children, or participating in Erasmus+ exchanges, I seek out meaningful experiences that connect purpose with exploration. You will usually find me: - horse riding at golden hour - ice skating on ice rink - journaling in a park - taking care of kids - volunteering - or on another Erasmus+ youth exchange I adore deep conversations, spontaneous gateaways, souful music, and laughing until it hurts. I love slow travel, where I can feel the rhythm of a place and meet incredible women who inspire me - just like you. I’m looking to connect with fellow travel ladies for cultural exchanges, weekend escapes, shared volunteering projects, or just a coffee in a new city. I believe the best friendships are made under starry skies, on long train rides, or while getting lost in a new town together. Let's connect, if you are: 🌸 A solo traveler or expat 🧭 A purpose-driven adventurer 🎭 Someone who loves storytelling, activism or journaling 🏕 Into mindfulness, nature, or simply daydreaming by the sea 🐴 An animal lover (bonus if you want to help me build a rehab clinic for traumatized rescue animals someday!)
