Bydgoszcz, Solo travel
I'm studying here. Very pretty city, I feel really safe. I've been here 7 months now and had no problems so far. There are organized many attractions, seasonal such as a Christmas Market etc. There is an opera here as well.

Overall, it was a very nice experience. I arrived very early in the morning, so it was still dark, but the city felt safe and calm. The streets were quiet and peaceful. I walked around until midday and people were kind, relaxed, and helpful. One person even stopped to chat with me, which made the experience feel very welcoming.

I think it is safe compared to other countries. Poland is overall safe but at night there are sometimes drunk and homeless people so you need to be careful. Personally I have never had any dangerous situations but at night I am rarely outside. The city center is always lively and generally safe. Just suburbs and parks are where I advise not to visit at night

There are people with bad intentions everywhere, but overall I would say Kraków is very safe. During the day, there isn’t a single place where I feel threatened. Nothing has ever happened to me at night either, but as a very cautious person, I avoid dimly lit streets and carry pepper spray with me (never had to use it, but since it's completely legal in Poland, why not have it. I also recommend buying special wipes in case you spray yourself). Near the main train station, sometimes you...

i didn’t have much of a troublesome experience but in overall gdańsk is pretty safe, but remember to be always aware of your surrounding, especially at night and on skm/train stations, you can meet different people around there.
