Is Wroclaw safe for solo female travelers?

Wroclaw is generally considered quite safe for solo female travelers. Like in many cities around the world, it's essential to take standard precautions like avoiding deserted areas late at night and staying vigilant about personal belongings. Locals are friendly and willing to assist where necessary. Public transportation and walking around the city center during the day is widely safe. Petty crimes like pickpocketing can occur, especially in crowded places like public transport and tourist areas, but these instances are the exception rather than the norm.

A random guy followed us. We were really afraid. I think he was a homeless guy. We delibaretly went into a church to get rid of him. But when we went outside after almost ten minutes, he was still there.

Wroclaw is a beautiful city! The Cathedral Island is definitely worth seeing. The city center has such cute buildings and it is a nice place to sit and take in the beauty. Also the little gnomes everywhere are adorable!

Sharing this 2023 trip as it was the cheapest solo trip I did ! Flight (from Paris) was 30 € total. 9.99€ + 19.99€ (without forgetting the Beauvais shuffle bus that's 30€ as well lol) So a total of 60€ The hostel I stayed at was around 30 euros for two night And food was affordable at restaurants too but I mostly ate at Żabka Since I travelled off season, not much people to meet or hangout with, but I still had a good time alone. January but weather was sunny (I got lucky) Felt extremely safe, as usual in Poland, I highly recommend Wrocław for a short weekend trip. Pretty architecture, cute gnomes to spot, extremely safe and affordable.

The city I fell in love with. Perfect mixture of historical architecture and modernity, quietness and night life, city and nature. I felt 100% safe and it was so surprising to see that even homeless people spoke English and were respectful in asking for money😂

Hiii, so I was in Wrocław last week to celeberate my birthday! It was perry safe, I didnt have any troubles. Only some homless guys was asking me for cigs and stuff. I didnt explore a lot, cuz I went there to hang out with my long distance friends, but I would really recommend a caffe Seoul 97:). I ordered a banana matcha and it was amazing. Well, I spent a lot of money, exspecially for food, but I think it was worth it.:)

Wroclaw is really safe place to be; the only thing you have to ba aware is pickpokets in the buses :) If you are scared of drunk people, stay away from Ruska street and Rynek at night, especially during weekend. But those drunk people are harmless, its just they make noise

Wrocław is a really really safe city. It is full of young and helpful young and older people from all over the world. I feel very safe here even during the night until I see a rat. Because there are so many rats in the city centre.

Wrocław is a very very safe place, I have never experienced something like attack, or other unpleasantness. There are sometimes situations in which a stranger will ask a question or point something out, but these are very rare.

At night it can feel a bit unsafe, however generally I feel pretty safe there. Sometimes there is a situation in public transport with some drunk people that can do unexpected things, but really I haven't experienced any very dangerous situations
