Solo travel

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.

Białystok isn’t a very big city, and because of that, the crime rate is quite low. I’ve lived here my whole life- I studied here, I work here, and I’ve never been robbed. Occasionally, you might get catcalled by someone who’s drunk, but there are always plenty of people around who will step in if you ever feel unsafe.

It’s safe in Bialystok I go alone at nights and I don’t feel not good it’s okay and I love poland for that safety. You don’t have to be worried walking around like in other countries even when I was with my friend in other countries we don’t felt that safe like in Poland

As for a woman in her early 20s going out is met with barely anything really. I had situations of being catcalled, but nothing harmful came after. I move by bus a lot and never had a dangerous situation with anyone. Going out for drinks on the weekends is not that safe. Depending on which bar or pub you go to you could be approached by strangers, in clubs it’s way more common. Most of the times when I was approached at a pub were harmless, although there weren’t much of such instances, one or 2 times a man made me feel uncomfortable. Going home at night is mostly safe, depending on which part...

Bialystok isnt a huge city there is a lot of foreigners but i feel like everyone here is quite chill and i live here my whole life and ive never had any problems with someone assaulting me so yeah its pretty safe

To be honest Białystok is a pretty safe city. During the day there's mostly absolutely nothing you should be worried about, unpleasant situations happen very rarely then. I have lived there for my whole life and maybe twice I've been cat called by a stranger during a day there. When it comes to the night I would recommend being a bit more cautious as especially during the weekends there's a lot of drunk people near the city center exiting the bars or the clubs... But I haven't ever really worried about anything serious happening to me. Maybe 3 times in life I really had a threatening...
