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.
Posted: January 18, 2025I felt quite safe during my visit to Łódź. The city is vibrant and has a lot to offer. A must-visit is Piotrkowska Street, one of the longest commercial streets in Europe, filled with shops, cafes, and street art. The Manufaktura complex is also impressive, with its mix of history, shopping, and dining. For food, I recommend trying traditional Polish dishes at Anatewka or enjoying a modern twist at Gastromachina. If you’re a coffee lover, stop by Kawiarnia Kawa na Ławę. I stayed at a centrally located hotel which was comfortable and provided easy access to main attractions. Public transport in Łódź is well-connected and affordable, with trams and buses running frequently. My budget was moderate—I spent around 150 PLN per day on meals and transport. If you’re planning a visit, set aside time to explore the OFF Piotrkowska area for its unique atmosphere and local shops. Would definitely return!
Posted: January 17, 2025I really liked this town and I'm dreaming every day to come back and walk those streets again. This city is a dream come true tbh, the views, food and attractions are ON THE TOP, literally. Breads similar to bagels, called obważanki are amazing.

Krakow was my first solo trip ever and I’ve had half a day to explore the city between my flight connection to Aarhus. It turned out to be not as scary as I expected and although I was too petty to stay in the hotel for only 5 hours and decided to sleep on a bench in an airport, before, I had plenty of time to roam around and see AMAZING places. The thing I liked the most was the mix of old historical and contemporary architecture. Then goes the safety overall, I not one single time felt unsafe or tried to put my phone deeper in my pocket haha :). The prices were slightly lower than in Denmark, where I live right now. Overall, I underestimated Poland and next time I will go to (maybe?) Warsaw with my architect-student boyfriend to explore different corners of this beautiful country together! 🤟
Posted: December 25, 2024In the spring of 2024, I was in Krakow, Poland. I liked the country; the food was good, and the people were nice. The weather was pleasant too. I visited shopping centers, museums, and parks. I enjoyed this trip a lot.
Posted: October 14, 2024My experience in Poland was very good. I met a few solo travelers there and we hiked together. There were halal food as well although it’s a little bit expensive for me but overall, it’s a good experience. The public transport is very easy to access but it’s a bit hard to communicate with locals since they’re not that good English. Overall, the country is very pretty.
Posted: October 4, 2024I really like my time there, although when I try to call an Uber, they had the option “just for woman” that made me feel a little unsafe, because I never seen that option before, so it means something happen there! Then I ask for more details and it really had happened some cases of abuse to girls! But besides that, really loved everything and nothing happened to me

Krakow is a very nice city, I stayed in Bubble Hostel and i felt very safe, even though it was my first solo trip. Near Krakow it has many interesting activities and venues to see! I visited the salt mine and the Auschwitz camp. The salt mine was 100 zloty, which is not expensive and the Auschwitz camp was free without a guide. Also the old town is very pretty and is walkable! You should definitely visit the Wawel castle but be sure to have a lot of time ahead of you because it's huge!! Overall the experience was really good and I would recommend it for budget travelling! 😊

travelled to Warsawa and Krakow in February 2024. Safest country in Europe for female solo travellers in my opinion. Great cities, amazing culture and history, lovely people, awesome churches and museums.

I live in kraków all my life and i never had any bad sitiuation. Its very very very safe. I travel a lot and never felt safer in any place than in kraków!💓 Public transport is clean and safe. We don't have any criminal district. You can go out at night, no worries but remember about classic safety rules like don't leaving ur drink alone on the table
Posted: January 20, 2025Wrocław is a safe place to stay. I lived here for more than 10 years and I have never been in a dangerous situation. I will recommend everyone to come here and experience polish cousin and check other attractions.
