I love living in Warsaw. It’s pretty safe city. Of course you always have to be cautious, but I live here for over 4 years and I don’t have any dangerous experiences. I almost always feel safe, but I hear sometimes that there are sometimes dangerous situations

Warsaw is a pretty city with a lot to offer, like fun places to visit. It’s the center of Poland. People are mostly nice, and it’s a safe city without thefts. I really recommend visiting Warsaw for a quick trip of a few days

I think it’s one of the safest European capitals, very calm and trustworthy but we need to keep attention all the time everywhere - no matter what place is. At night it’s empty and rarely strangers talk.

There's a lot of people walking the streets at night. They might look unpleasent but they are usually not dangerous at all. At the daytime it's safe in my opinion. The only part of the city where it is worth being careful is Praga Południe

I’m a visitor here. Comparing to some places where lived and traveled I feel quite safe. I would say it depends what area to live in plus private sense of feeling safe. I like that public transport works all night long here.

I recommend „Hala Koszyki”. A food court which has the cousins from around the world. Everyone will find something for themselves. Old town is so so so pretty and the subway works really well. There’s a lot more to see like Muzeum Kopernika :)
