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.

solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

Warsaw is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

My third time in Zakopane - this time with my mom and more for mountains, less for rest. My legs were dead after 6 hours in Hala Gąsienicowa and even more after Dolina Kościeliska. Weather was amazing, lots of people but still comfortable. Food soooo good! I mostly tried polish foods - żurek in bread recommended! My mom loved pierogi (without an s!) If you're looking for hotel there, I can send you a link for Booking.com as I don't remember the name now. We had amazing view for Giewont, balcony and peace for a really low price (Almost nothing!)

I live here my whole live and to be honest I consider it really safe. The safe level that allows to go on a walk in the middle of the night. Of course as everywhere you might meet some suspicious types but they are rather just existing and USUALLY do not approach. Safe travels you all...

Poznan
Poznań is generally a very safe city. I feel completely secure here. The police are always patrolling and maintaining order, and the streets are well monitored. The only caution is at night in the city center- there can be groups of drunk people, so it’s better to stay aware and avoid risky situations. Otherwise, life in Poznań is calm, and I’ve never had any problems.

I think it’s pretty safe but as everywhere you have to be careful when you’re alone at night somewhere because you never know what people are thinking. But nothing bad ever happend to me. Just know your surroundings.

Tczew
Tczew is overall a safe city. There are really few accidents. Bus as allways and anywhere caution is allways reccomended. It' not that big of a city but public transport is free for everyone and quite well extensive.

Wrocław is very safe city. I am a teenager and I can safely can back home at night hours. Hover be careful in the center because ther are many alcoholics that usually talk to you random stupid things.

About me
Hey, my name is Nadia and I’m new to this traveling community however not new to traveling ;) On a daily basis I work in social circus 🎪🤸♂️ teaching kids and youngsters aerial acrobatic. Besides I’m studying padagogy and trying to stay engaged in local social struggles to make this world more equal ✨ From time to time I perform with fire. My bigest intrests are maps and navigation systems, sociology and architecture. Ah and I love documantary cinema! After many hitchhiking trips, I have learned that getting to know a place starts with getting to know the local people and their culture. This is why I’m very happy to travel visiting other people and offer a place to stay in my home, in Poland.
