How safe is Lodz?

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.

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.
