It's a very safe place where you can start your first solo trip. If you are a backpacker like me, it's a really cheap destination to begin your travel journey. That's what I was doing - it's my first baby step. I felt very safe, didn't spend too much money, the food is delicious, locals are friendly. I really enjoyed it.

Bialystok is safe for both residents and visitors. We have low crime rate and friendly, nice people. Just during football matches I’d avoid drunk and loud man on the street who often look for a fight. Overall, Białystok is a safe city, but as with any travel destination, it’s important to remain aware of your surroundings and take standard safety precautions.

I'd say Białystok is a pretty safe city, as long as you're not visibly queer. It's infamous for being homophobic and especially late at night (though not exclusively) your appearance may be commented upon. I've never experienced physical assault, although there are neighbourhoods where cliques of people, often very young and/or under the influence, will try to talk to you. Overall - I'd just try my best to blend into the crowd and be reasonably polite.

My name is Ania and I love to travel, have deep conversations and watch sunsets. I highly appreciate and enjoy being in nature, I like walking when visiting new places so I can fully experience the atmosphere of the city. I’m a breathwork facilitator and working in the healthy sweets sector. Right now in the mode of exploring the world and broadening my worldview :))
