I've been in Łódź during the day and I've felt pretty safe. I really recommend visiting the Museum of the City of Łódź, it's one of the best museums I've seen in Poland. I'm definietly thinking about coming back again to see some more cultural and historical landscapes.

I felt quite safe during my visit to Łódź. The city is vibrant and has a lot to offer. A must-visit is Piotrkowska Street, one of the longest commercial streets in Europe, filled with shops, cafes, and street art. The Manufaktura complex is also impressive, with its mix of history, shopping, and dining. For food, I recommend trying traditional Polish dishes at Anatewka or enjoying a modern twist at Gastromachina. If you’re a coffee lover, stop by Kawiarnia Kawa na Ławę. I stayed at a centrally located hotel which was comfortable and provided easy access to main attractions. Public transport in Łódź is well-connected and affordable, with trams and buses running frequently. My budget was moderate—I spent around 150 PLN per day on meals and transport. If you’re planning a visit, set aside time to explore the OFF Piotrkowska area for its unique atmosphere and local shops. Would definitely return!

Lodz is the small city in Poland. I live in there for 1 months. I’m a erasmus student and Lodz is not available for student. There is no hang area in there. There is a long street and this street sometimes isn’t active.

I came here as an Erasmus student and I live in Lodz. In these six months, I want to travel as much as I can. From my experiences, Piotrkowska is a street you should definitely explore. It is the longest street in Lodz and Manufaktura has a unique vibe. As a Turkish person, I didn't enjoy the food that extensively, but I believe I haven't tried enough.

I'd say Łódź is a fairly safe place to travel solo. Personally I've lived here for 6 years and I've never experienced anything worse than a whistle on the street or a stupid comment. I've heard a few bad stories though, so I'd recommend being careful in certain districts or at night and avoiding drunk people, just to be safe.

It's generally a pretty safe city, people mind their own business. The only concern would be football fans and there were a few anti-immigration protests conducted by them in the recent months. There's always patrolling around the city and central areas, so if anything there's always people to approach for support.

It’s safe enough to walk in the evening outside alone, but still be cautious. I’d recommend to have something for protection, but don’t be too concerned. The city is safe and people are nice, so enjoy your time being here

There are a lot of homeless and drunk people but it's not very dangerous. the biggest threat is, as usual, men :/ during the day without any problems, but at night it is better not to enter the dark gate

overall is safe but sometimes there are some drunk guys on street, its important to keep safe and with otherpeople. but compared to a lot of places it can be really safe, you just need to be careful as always.
