I’ve lived in Wrocław for 12 years now and have never had a bad experience. For most of that time, I was often out late, partying, and walking home alone at night - and I always felt safe. In my experience, locals are the safest and most respectful people here. It's usually tourists who can be a bit less mindful. If I ever felt uncomfortable, I’d always choose to approach a young Polish local - they’re usually kind and helpful. Overall, it’s a very safe city, even at night!

My city? Super safe. I walk my dog late at night like it’s no big deal, zero drama, zero stress. Never been robbed, and honestly, neither have my friends (we’re either very lucky or it’s just that safe). Unless you count overpriced coffee…

I have been living in Wrocław for 2 months and i did not experience any dangerous situations. The experience may vary but in my opinion it is a very safe city. People are helpful but not intrusive at the same time.

honestly sometimes i walk alone at night but anyone never harassed me or even bothered me at all, but i can guess that depends on where you live and where are you walking. but there’s not many people on the street especially in the middle of the week.

I really like the city and people are often friendly and willing to help even if I don’t speak Polish. I had a few altercations with men, at night and during the day but they usually leave if you talk back to them. I always carry my phone in my back pocket but I’ve never had it stolen, same for my wallet and other personal belongings. I would consider the city safe in terms of robbery and other crimes like this, but be careful of those who look visibly drunk (often older men) as you would anywhere else actually.

Wrocław is rather safe city, although as anywhere we should stay at least a bit causious at night or in highly turistic areas. It is easier to get scamed or mugged at the Old Town. Public transport is mostly safe too.

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!
