How safe is Poznan?

Poznań is almost always save in the daytime. The crime rate is low and its getting better and better with every year passing. Sexual harrasment is rare. There are some districts that are considered more dangerous at night - for example some streets in Łazarz or Dębiec or the surroundings of the main station. Nothing ever happened to me or my friends in Poznań at night, but i don’t recommend walking alone at night as a woman, especially in less crowded places

I spend my whole life here and there was no time something bad has happened to me. I’ve never been robbed or assaulted and I walked in dark many times no matter the season of the year. Public transport is really safe too.

depends on the place. generally safe to walk after dark but i'd still carry a pepper spray just in case. public transport very safe, worst that can happen is catcalling or drunk people shouting something at you and that's rare. in public transport its best to sit in the front of the vehicle close to the driver. safety very much depends on the area, in the city center it's relatively fine, occasional catcalling or a drunk guy pissing in a nook somewhere but that's it. just mind your business and youre ok. i'd be more cautious around łazarz, dębiec, and Półwiejska/Szkolna street at night. no risk of home invasion anywhere.

Poznan is a really safe city, but obviously has it flaws. Sometimes at night on main streets there may be drum people especially on weekends but it’s bc of the clubs and they’re not dangerous. Never felt unsafe

About Me

Hi! My name is Magdalena, I'm a 19 years old psychology student living in Poznan, Poland 🇵🇱 (a 500k city in the western part of the country). I love travelling across the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures, preferably while meeting great people and making memories that will stay with me for a long time😊 I'm usually a very active type of traveller - I'm always down for walking tours and sports activities, but also visiting art galleries/ museums to learn about the history of the place that I'm visiting.🎨 I'm more than happy to give advice for anyone who would like to travel to Poland, since I've been in almost every major city, so feel free to ask for anything! ❣ I'm not always available for hosting, but I'm happy to share some space and spend some time together if you ask in advance.
