Is Krakow Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Krakow

From my experience, Kraków feels safe for women. The city is well-lit, public transport runs late, and people are generally respectful. Like anywhere, staying aware is key, but I’ve felt comfortable walking alone, even at night.

I feel like in general it’s a safe city. But like everywhere there are some weird people or I’ve exerienced some unpleasant situations. But I’m not scared walking alone in the dark or anything like that.

I lived abroad for a couple of years and that showed me how living in Krakow and never witnessing a dangerous situation or felt uncomfortable, reassures me on the safety of Krakow. In Krakow I have the freedom of going out alone or with friends.

Krakow is very safe place to be. People are nice, you’d hardly ever hear men catcalling, especially throughout day time. You would hardly ever be robbed, let alone mugged. Nevertheless it applies only to the day time. At night I don’t feel safe at all. It’s alright when you are with your male friends, but if you are alone or with your female friends, it can be dangerous as many drunk men are walking, people can try to talk to you and all unpleasant pictures you can imagine. Last time I was going home from the trip at 4 a.m., and was asked by an old man if I wanted to be ripped. Also when I and my female friends were walking around the city at night, more than one group of men or boys would approach us and try to talk to us. But I have never faced such situations in the afternoon/morning.

In my opinion krakow is very safe, i don't have a problem walking alone at night even at 2/3am, people usually mind their own business so they don't bother you, when it comes to tourists i think people are wiling to help and are nice

I think overall Krakow is a very safe city, the only thing I AM worried abt is when I’m going clubbing, but I guess it’s kinda the same thing for every place innych world. Just usual stuff, keep your drink close and be with someone else at the party, when I’m coming home after I’m not scared at all to go back home alone. Sometimes shady stuff can happen, drunk man or smth like that but it’s not usual. I guess it depends on your luck.

It is safe and relax city, no one care about others. Pretty safe. Polish people are good, there are also a lot of tourists, especially in the city centre. But still it is safe. Not sure about far from city center. But there are always expectations

for me, crack is pretty safe because nothing ever happened to me and my friends, but I heard of some stories about not good situations with other people, but that’s how it is in almost every place in the world at least at Poland so you know there are cameras there are all the people and police so you don’t have to worry

Kraków is quite safe but drunk people during the night can be a burden. It is better to stay alert in the public transportation regarding because of the pickpocketing. But overall you can feel safe going around

From the local perspective, I’d say it’s safe. There were many nights where I was going home alone at night after parties and never had any troubles (only drunk guys people might start talking to you). Never got robbed, public transport is very safe (at night also). Overall it’s good to live there as a woman.

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!

Solo travel

I spent very little money. I flew to Katowice and then took the transportation from the airport to Krakow city where I stayed overnight in a hostel for two nights. I attended a free walking tour that was very interesting and booked the visit in the salt mines, something amazing!
