How safe is Warsaw?

Actually, I have been living in Turkey since I was a little girl, or rather since I was born. to be honest, after Turkey, a place like Warsaw shocked me. i don't feel uncomfortable walking here. people don't look at me like they're going to eat me or jump on me. I have been here for 6 months, I have not experienced any theft problems. sometimes I worry about being out at night. of course, it varies from place to place. he walks around very drunk at night outside. I haven't met a dangerous drunk in the area where I live yet. but the club area is a little difficult, especially on weekends.

The most dangerous districts in Warsaw are Praga-Północ and Śródmieście. I always carry something for self defense with me. I often encounter some drunk men at the street and they make me feel really uncomfortable. Two months ago there was a girl raped and killed in the center of Warsaw at 4-5 a.m. and nobody reacted (4 people were going by while she was raped)

To be honest, Warsaw can be one of the safest cities in Europe for me as I have never faced a dangerous situation since I’ve moved to the city. Fortunately I haven’t faced any situation such as theft, violence and so on.

I think that Warsaw is really a safe city to travel, especially for solo trips. I’ve never felt unsafe walking alone during the night or using public transport. People are usually kind and helpful if you need help.

I have been living in Warsaw since 2019 til now and I must say that Warsaw is a chill, green and quiet capital in Europe. I never feel worried when being outside at late night. The public transportation system is modern with bus, tram, metro, train, you can travel easily.

Warsaw is a capital city in Poland and is an advanced city in terms of transportation, which also has buses at night. If you stay in a central place, you can easily walk to many important places in Warsaw.

I felt safe in warsaw and loved walking around. At night I preferred to stay in well-lit areas of course, normally while walking back to my airbnb in the "old town" which is a great area to stay in! My itinerary was taking as many tours as possible, such as the "WW2 in warsaw" free walking tour. I recommend the Pierogis at the restaurant "Restauracja Głodomory Mokotów" just south of a BEAUTIFUL park called Palace on the Isle (Pałac na Wyspie)

I feel safe. Howower Warsaw is a capital city, so little crowded. You must see the museums and parks. I think Public transport little expensive because we were transfer to one bus to another. Old city beautiful in the night. Altough food and wine more expensive old city area

Warsaw is a beautiful city. They have many beautiful parks to walk in, and the "Old Town" is so nice and historical. I ate delicious dumplings and soup there. The transportation system is also easy to use.

I highly recommend visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum (mandatory), the Museum of Literature, as well as the POLIN Museum. I went to the Chopin Museum (my favorite composer). The Lapidarium of Antiquities is a famous small antique shop, which is located near the Royal Route and is splendid. I avoided the city center (known as Old Town) and the Royal Route when I was looking for food, and it turned out that my favorite restaurants are a bit on the outskirts. Łazienki Park was also beautiful.
