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.
Posted: August 23, 2025I 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.
Posted: August 19, 2025Kraków 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
Posted: August 17, 2025I've never had bad experience in Krakow. I feel safe enough to walking alone. Obviously, I'm trying to be focused and looking around but nothing happened to me. At least for now.
Posted: August 16, 2025In comparison to other major European cities not bad. You may experience unpleasant comments, unwanted male attention, catcalling ect, but when it comes to physical assault it's pretty rare, especially during the day

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)
