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.

For me, Wrocław is a really nice place to live. I feel very safe here and I have no complaints at all. It’s also a very tolerant city, especially when it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, which makes it feel even more welcoming.

Since I arrived here I didn't have any problems related to sexual harassment really. But sometimes there was some situations that felt like I'm behaved bad because I'm not from here. Also, once there was a thief at home and I here people's bikes get stolen.

Of course, like in any city, some crimes have happened here, but Wrocław is truly a lovely and safe place. Overall, Poland is a safe country, you don’t have to worry about walking alone at night, and people are really nice.

It’s good for girls, guys usually don’t bother you. There is not so much immigrants, also Polish people are so nice and helpful, but sometimes older people can’t understand you in English. But everyone are always kind :)

In my opinion, Wrocław is a generally safe city. Of course, as everywhere, there are neighbourhoods more or less safe, more and less crowded spots, but from my own experience I can say that if you are prudent and reasonable, you don't go to suspicious places at night, it's perfectly okay. There could be sometimes at night loud or strange people, who might seem to be dangerous, but if you keep distance and don’t interact, everything will be okay.

Despite the fact that Wroclaw is a big city, I feel comfortable and safe in it. I love the climate in it and I am happy to live here. There are many beautiful places where you can enjoy nature and tranquility.

Solo travel

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😂
