Is Olsztyn Safe for Women? Crime Rate in Olsztyn

During the day it is a pleasant city, even in crowded places usually full of families with children. Sometimes there are unpleasant situations in clubs or bars during night, weekend trips - then it is better not to be alone. Public transport does not run often at night, a walk at night on the main streets (avoiding the center and the train station) should be peaceful.

In general it can appear very safe but there are nobody on the streets after 9/10 p.m. so it's kind of weird to walk around in the evening. Also after 9 p.m. traffic lights are off and street lights are dim in general.

Olsztyn is my hometown, I lived there for 20 years, also during my crazy times as a growing up teenager experiencing my first parties. It is not a very big city and is generally very safe. I wouldn't recommend going to the neighbourhood called Zatorze during the night, but other places are alright.

As a young woman and a student who is living abroad for the first time in this city, I feel very safe. It is a city where students generally live. For local people, the day ends quickly in the evenings, so it is not crowded outside, but walking alone dies not feel unsafe.
