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.

Gdańsk is generally a very safe city. I have lived here most of my life and I feel comfortable walking around both during the day and in the evening. The city centre and most neighbourhoods are safe and welcoming for residents and tourists. The only area I would not particularly recommend is Lower Orunia (Orunia Dolna), especially late at night. Other than that, Gdańsk is a great and safe place to visit and live.

Very safe city, during the day I would say there are no unsafe areas, during the night maybe some specific districts, but without any extremum. I can recommend it to every girl who want to start with solotraveling!

Sopot
Sopot is extremely safe, I have had maybe one incident where I did not feel safe - it was very late at night and I was unfortunate enough to engage in conversation and help a man who was clearly on some type of drugs, who made me feel really uneasy with his strange behaviour Other than that, Sopot is super safe and an overall pleasant city!

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

About me
Hi! I'm Marlena, I'm 21 years old this year. I would describe myself as an open, positive person. I love life and I genuinely love people! I think my biggest passion is sitting at cafes, gossiping and people watching :) On a more serious note, I adore travelling, meeting the locals and exploring places I've never been to. I'm also in my second year of med school and I'm currently writing 2 reaserch papers about the influence of being a succesful woman on dating opportunities. I also have a beatiful 3 year old Australian shepherd :)
