I 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.

Super cheap and ate very good. Got a good hostel 30 seconds away to a huge club street. Like 10 minutes from the main area of the city. Enjoyed really cheap fun shots. There was a club named “Havana” nearby. Great club. Wonderful art n very cold. Not a lot of English speakers but can get around easily with just saying Kurwa.

I have been to Warsaw many times and twice I experienced unpleasant situations of being judged and stared at in a strange way on public transport. It wasn't anything dangerous, just more uncomfortable. Other than that, it's a very pleasant city worth visiting, and people are mostly really nice.
Posted: January 16, 2025Kraków is a relatively safe city. Most neighbourhoods are comfortable, even at night, but probably mostly for locals who know the area. The night buses are always full of people, so even I use this option when going back from a party, and I feel quite safe. Of course the walk from bus station home is another story- as a woman I’m scared either way, I always carry some form of self defence. Nevertheless for solo female travelling, I can recommend my hometown.
