Is Wroclaw safe for women?

I think Wrocław is quite safe, I've been walking around the city at night a lot, and hardly anything happened. Of course, you need to be caucious with pickpocketers and sketchy people, but as you would do anywhere else.

If you avoid secluded places after dark you’ll be fine. I’ve been living there for almost 10 years and have never been mugged, robbed, assaulted, sometimes it just feels unsafe walking by myself at night (but I’ve done it hundred of times too and nothing dangerous happened, only some men making inappropriate comments).

Safe day and night :) Nothing strange or dangerous has ever happened to me. People may seem cold and distanced, but at least they don't bother you Occasionally a homeless man will approach for a few zlotys, but when you refuse, he calmly walks away.

Wroclaw is a really safe place. At the day- zero problems with anything. I've never felt danger (about being robbed, kidnapped, murdered, raped etc) Sometimes of course when is night and you are clubbing and you are drunk/ others are drunk, they can trying to hit you up, but as we know- it depends from person. When you say to them go away/ I'm not interested they will go. Mostly drunk people are very open and kind (from my experience) I live here since birth and I'm feeling really safe here. I'm not scared to go alone in the night or sth

I consider the city to be very safe especially for women. You can dress however you want without fear of being harassed or disrespected in any way. I’ve walked alone at night in the downtown area and the city is quite busy even during evening hours so I never felt uncomfortable while travelling home. The city is known for its universities so the streets are primarily filled with students and expats, who are usually unproblematic.

I've never been in a situation where I was unsafe, what happens in Wrocław is you might get cat called walking while dressed nicely, or people might come up to you asking for money etc, but I've never been threatened or anything like that

Overall Wrocław is a somewhat safe city, I recommend though not straying from the main streets too much (back alleys). There are of course districts of Wrocław who are less safe than average or less welcoming. Good idea would be to plan your trip keeping in mind the bigger events and double checking if in past years there have been major crimes durning those events.

Based on my experience, I can say that Wrocław is a very safe city. I often find myself returning home at night and I have never had any unpleasant situations. The city is well-lit in many places at night, which gives a greater sense of security.

Wroclaw is a very safe and cosy international city, walking in the dark is something normal and safe and wouldn’t trade it for any where else, i always recommend living there no matter what and no matter anything as well affordable

I think it is quite safer than many big or even medium sized cities in Europe. Even though there's hardly any danger of being kidnapped, robbed, mugged or assaulted I'd suggest ladies to travel with something like bear mace to protect themselves just in case. Also, I'd refrain from getting very drunk at clubs or getting into any verbal or physical fights with drunk people in and near nightclubs.

Wroclaw is a very safe city filled with colors and lots of really nice places. I didn’t feel observed or anything like that at any time, the polish are very respectful, a bit cold harder but that’s all. I didn’t see or heard anything about robbery and stuff like that.
