How safe is Szczecin?

Szczecin is a fairly safe city although it's still not always comfortable to walk around some parts of it after dark. The center of the city is usually well lit and there's people there so I wouldn't worry about it much

Overall a safe city, same as majority of cities in Poland. People are generally nice, and helpful. There is a few drunk people, however they generally don't cause any problems. Usually they can be found sleeping on bus stations or in public transportation vehicles.

I’d say its pretty safe for a woman in the night, almost no worries about daytime. Being careful anywhere is important, although with a common sense I wouldn’t say it’s dangerous. My advice would be to be extra careful around Żelechowo bądź Parkowa tho

Atmosphere is quite safe. You can go anywhere without fear. You can use public transport, go to public places. I have never experienced any harassment. There are also careful drivers and not many car accidents

Szczecin is the city located near to the Berlin so that there is a lot of opportunities if it comes to travelling. If it comes to the safety I’ve never experienced any kind of harassment. The only thing you should be a little bit worried is people under the influence of alcohol because polish culture is based on vodka. If you know how to handle drunk people there should be no problem for you.

Very safe place, as always is better being careful, but I’ve never seen anything dangerous in my city. It’s better to avoid walking alone in the city center by nights but suburbs are very safety, could be a little dangerous for not european-looking people or wearing hijab (racism)

Szczecin is a relatively calm city that is very family oriented. There are lots of parks and cafes, bike paths, and public transport is quite easy and safe. Although Szczecin lacks diversity and English is not widely spoken, it still feels very safe and easy to navigate.

About Me

Hi! I’m Emilia, and I’m happy to see you on my profile! 😊 I usually travel solo, but I also have two amazing friends – Justyna and Magda. Sometimes, I hit the road with one of them because traveling together has its own special charm. I love exploring hidden corners of cities, visiting local restaurants, and trying new flavors – food is an essential part of every trip for me! 🍽️✨ In everyday life, I’m a calm, friendly, and open person. People say I’m great to talk to because I truly listen – I enjoy getting to know different perspectives and exchanging experiences. I’m passionate about cooking 🍳, personal development (especially soft skills), and I run a group for table tennis enthusiasts 🏓, which brings me a lot of joy! I absolutely love animals, and they seem to love me too – maybe because I know just the right spots to pet them? 🐾 At home, I have a 7-year-old cat named Shrek, who’s a full-fledged member of my daily life. 🐱💚 As a guest, I’m easygoing and respectful – I value other people’s space, keep things tidy, and always try to leave good memories behind. If you decide to host me, I’m sure it will be a nice and interesting experience! 🌍💙
