Its a calm city, a lot better than East Europe like Belarus or West Europe like France. You dont have to be worried about walking home alone, but homosexuals can feel diffrently if acting very obviously or billing.

It's better not to walk alone on less populated streets. Nothing scary has ever happened to me here. There are many people everywhere, so you won't be alone most of the time. Overall, it's a safe place to travel to.

I wouldn’t say Poznan is dangerous city. It’s in Poland which is safety in general. I go out a lot and never been attacked or even followed. People react when something bad is happening. Of course I do not like to walk alone in the night but even with my headphones I feel safe and pretty confident.

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. :)

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.
