How safe is Wroclaw?

Wrocław is a safe place to stay. I lived here for more than 10 years and I have never been in a dangerous situation. I will recommend everyone to come here and experience polish cousin and check other attractions.

Wrocław is a really big city, but you can feel safe, the city is well lighted, there are police patrols usually, only if there is a big event like football match I am a lil bit worried about my safety

I see wrocław as a safe city. A lot of my friends claim that Poland as a country is one of the most safest countries they’ve ever been to. I have never had a dangerous situation as a woman, so I’d recommend it:)

I personally have never felt unsafe in Wrocław. I walk around the city, even at night, and feel comfortable, especially in the city center. The only slight unease I experience is in nightclubs, but even then, I’ve always felt strong enough to say no when needed. Overall, I feel confident in my ability to stand up for myself, and compared to other women I’ve spoken to, I tend to feel safer and stronger in these situations.

You are more likely to get robbed rather than raped. There is some places where you should be more careful but there is no need to worry when you're going for a little trip during the day. It is legal to have a pepper spray. Avoid drunks and you'll be fine.

Wrocław is really safe city. I live there 3 years already and nothing bad happened to me since then. I love take late night walks and only bad thing you can meet is rat running to the trash :) obviously can be a little dangerous in some places- like party areas where is lots of drunk people but it’s small danger

If you don't walk down any narrow, shady streets, you don't have to worry about someone attacking you. public transport is really good, although it does not always arrive on time and the only thing you may be afraid of is the unpleasant smell of homeless people sometimes traveling on trams or buses. Generally speaking, Wroclaw is a very safe city

Wrocław is a rather safe city. I don't have many accouters of people that seem dangerous - of course sometimes you can observe some weird behavior but it's not far different from other cities i've been to. People here mostly mind their own business.

I'm feeling very safe, even when coming back home at night. (Working on shifts, and coming back home after 1am is very normal for me) Public transport is very sufficient. I was never a witness of any crime or harassment.

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.
