Poznań was on the 1st place on best places to lived in Poland list. People here are very kind and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to visit and spend some time exploring the city! You are always welcome!

of course, unfortunately, there are crimes or harassment here, as in most European cities, but in general you feel safe. but I do not advise walking alone at night anyway. sometimes people who like to drink a lot can harass Ukrainians here both during the day and at night. so in Poznan you should be careful and have pepper spray with you just in case. it is better to avoid the Wilda area and the train station at night

Poznan is one of the safest cities in Poland in my opinion. It's very safe to walk after dark, there are no robbers, and it's safe for LGBTQ people as well (this is like a "queer capital" of Poland).

Poznań is a fairly small city, so the crime rate is also low. Of course, there are sometimes incidents, but they are resolved very quickly. People are friendly and understanding, if you don't like something, so don't be afraid to say it right away. Overall, I feel confident here

I think Poznan is one of the safest cities in Poland! It can turn to be a bit uncomfortable to walk around after football matches, but still ok. I walk after dark alone quite often and almost always feel very safe. Still wouldn't harm to have paper?spray with you just in case...Ah and about bad stuff - my bike was once stolen in the city center:(

Poznan can be the safest city in Europe, I travel a lot and while traveling I need to go to the train station, airport or bus station in the early morning such as 3,4,5 a.m which I never felt worried about anything or never came across anything dangerous or harassment. I always feel safe in Poznan especially when I travel another countries which I need to protect my pockets, bags etc. :)

Pretty safe. There a lot of cameras. I live here for song term and I didn't experienced some type of harassment. I become more worried when I am traveling to another countries alone. You never now....

I’d say that Poznan is rather a safe city. I haven’t had any troubles or issues with people living here. The only reason that I wouldn’t rank it better is that compared to some other cities I know that I have sometimes the sense of unease which comes more from how the city used to be. I live in Jeżyce which used to be more on the dangerous side, now however it’s pretty safe here.

Poznan is a very small, yet very peaceful and beautiful city to visit, if you visit Poland. It is not so touristy, however packed with many amazing things to see. I visited this town with my two friends (both woman) and we felt safer than anywhere else even in the middle of the night. The people are very friendly here, and the prices are low.
