Perfect vacation and very safe. The food is good. The people are very friendly, and it is clean and super safe. You can go outside and feel free, even as a solo traveler. The nightlife and the transportation are also great.
Posted: March 8, 2025I didn’t know that a place really far from home could make me feel like I could’ve been born there… the culture, the places, the food, the memories… everything I remember is great!!! I’ve been to Krakow and it’s an amazing city, where you could experience history without feeling oppressed by the fact that you were actually in a big city… enchanting

I spent very little money. I flew to Katowice and then took the transportation from the airport to Krakow city where I stayed overnight in a hostel for two nights. I attended a free walking tour that was very interesting and booked the visit in the salt mines, something amazing!

I felt safe, but at times I was a bit anxious. I mostly traveled alone, but a relative who lives there had already told me about the most popular and must-see places. 1. Muzeum Narodowe 2. The Royal Lazienki Museum 3. Museum/Palace Wilanow 4. Museum Fryderyka Chopina … I couldn’t quite enjoy the food. There was one place I loved, though, and I visited it multiple times to have pizza: Pizza by the Slice👌🏻
Posted: February 11, 2025I've been in Łódź during the day and I've felt pretty safe. I really recommend visiting the Museum of the City of Łódź, it's one of the best museums I've seen in Poland. I'm definietly thinking about coming back again to see some more cultural and historical landscapes.

Krakow is a really nice city to do all kinds of stuff from laying on the beach ( you should visit zakrzówek) to going clubbing (just go to the old town there is a lot of pubs and clubs) You should try "obwarzanek" and pierogis. If you have a lot of time you can go to polish Mountain (zakopane) or visit some historical places like aushitz-birkenau.

Krakow! My heart goes out to you! 🫶🏼 What a magical experience. It honestly felt like waking up to Narnia everyday. The food was incredible. People can seem rude as hell, but I don’t mind it because once you talk with them they are such a joy! I visited Auschwitz and Birkenau and anyone should go. We also got “scammed” or fell in a tourist trap by following some shiny lights to a game arcade. I had to buy new winter boots because my shoes got drenched by all the snow. And I love the shoes so much. I can’t really list all the things I did while visiting. But I would do it all again and I will return.
Posted: January 26, 2025We (3 girls) did not feel safe at all. We were visiting for only one day, but that was still enough for us to be assaulted by men 3 times and once we had to report an exhibicionist in a late night bus. Disgusting experience, i trust polish men no more

Warsaw is a safe place for women traveling alone. I travel there very often due to university. It is super easy to get around as public transportation is comfortable and organized. You can download the app Jakdojade to get around Warsaw and you can also buy transportation tickets from there. I always felt safe during the night as well, a part from some drunk men that might approach during the night in the city centre. However, if you just tell them to leave they will leave. It is cheap and there’s many supermarkets named Zabka that sell many quick meal options for cheap.

I feel like the safety is similar to every big city. There’s a lot of people so there’s a bigger chance of meeting someone with ill intentions. I think as long as you don’t put yourself in risky situations in general the city is pretty safe, however u always need to be careful (like everywhere else i think). I personally never had any bad experiences there but I’ve heard a lot of stories of people who did so it’s always better to stay aware of your surroundings and stay careful
Posted: March 19, 2025Generally polish people mind their buissnes so as long as you dont disturb anyone peace u will be good, going from country side to the city centre there will be people who will for sure help i never had bad situation even tho I'm a big fan of night life

Hi, I’m Roop! I’m a university student in London. I’m a Portuguese national, with Indian background. I’m planning to spend my year with lots of adventures and travelling. I’m excited to use this platform to build genuine connections and safe travel! I would love to show you around in London. I’m planning to travel around in summer June-July, still exploring the opportunities and would love to have a travel buddy! (An affordable trip as a student) I’m thinking of Japan (preferably country side, to experience mountains, seaside, and summer festivals), Türkiye (just something about their culture and language draws me in, again I’m a big mountain girl, somewhere with good landscape), Bulgaria, Slovakia, south east Asia, and many more. I’m still exploring the options. Would love someone to convince me! 😭

I am a super political and social person. I appreciate honest and caring communication and open-minded encounters. I study International Relations and Social Sciences and hand in my thesis soon. For April I decided to solo travel again after a long break. I am super excited to get to know you. your cities, and impressions in general! Always down for a walk, coffee, beer, reading or cooking session or a protest or community gathering :D I am a queer feminist and engage in human rights and environmental activism. My diet is vegetarian / mostly vegan and I love to try new dishes :)) Besides politics, I simply love to engage in a good chat!
