I’ve been living here for almost 4 years and I could say thatWarsaw is super safe for me. The public transportation is quite convenient. Ofc, there might be some drunk/homeless people at night time but most likely they won’t approach to you!
Posted: August 25, 2025During the day I definitely feel fairly safe, and while I might have heard some not nice words I did’t feel threatened. At night however I’m frequently stoped by man who have something to say to me and I have felt unsafe a number of times. I personally was never physically attacked, but have friends who were (tho they were mostly man). There are definitely places you should avoid for safety like both Pragas (two districts of Warsaw). While the city center is rather open-minded, the more far away districts tend to be more close-minded, so if you are a woman of color you should definitely be careful.
Posted: August 21, 2025Personally, I feel safe in Warsaw. I'm not afraid to walk alone at night. Strangers don't bother me, of course there are crimes, but despite them I feel safe. People usually react to strange situations or when someone asks for help. Emergency services also respond..

Generaly it's safe city. Of course there are areas which should be avoided in the Night, but at average level, as everywhere, I believe. Around public places of nightlife I feel safe and don't have a problem to walk or take Uber/bolt alone home.

Warsaw is the safest capital city in Europe. Comparing to Rome or Berlin its another level of safe. The public transport works very well and is safe. I’m not scared to walk alone at night when it comes to city center. Some districts like praga północ might be less safe but not specifically.

I felt really safe during the trip, it's a really beautiful city. Definitely going for a next trip again. The people are very friendly and there are many different activities to do, also in the night time.
