I lived in Warsaw, Poland for 1 year and had the opportunity to visit many cities. Gdansk is a city by the sea among the Polish cities. The city is very beautiful, especially if you like the structure of the cities in Northern Europe and the old towns. Compared to other European cities, Londonia is cheaper. The currency is Zloty and it is a cheaper city than the capital Warsaw. But I went there with a friend in December and it was incredibly cold. Since it is by the sea, the wind coming from...

Poland is in my opinion very safe country. Gdansh is beautiful city full of galleries, pubs, caffes and people there mind their own business. I had no problem with anything. Olny there are no shops open after 8pm, which i am not used to, but if you buy food for breakfast during the day, you are safe;)

Solo travel
This was my first solo travel in the age of 18. I booked an very cheap hostel with single room but shared bathroom. The room was really ok but the bathroom stinked so much :D Mostly I experienced nature. My favorite activity was to walking by the see with my foot in the water ale looking into sea.

I feel fine walking home alone at any hour for however long. Sometimes during the day some people may nudge you about something but it's mostly cuz they want some money for sth or they just want to talk.
Posted: June 7, 2026i didn’t have much of a troublesome experience but in overall gdańsk is pretty safe, but remember to be always aware of your surrounding, especially at night and on skm/train stations, you can meet different people around there.

Overall a safe place, though there might sometimes be some people that are just mentally unstable or alcoholics. Some polish people have negative opinions about LGBTQ+ people, so its best to avoid them. I might also stay away from less populated parts of the city where you could find yourself alone.
Posted: May 11, 2026Better to walk in popular areas at night, I hate Orunia and zakoniczyn, overall during the day it's fine. U should be safe with company. The safest areas that I know personally are Wrzeszcz and city centre

As I am recently single, I am looking to start travelling solo. I have had “half solo” trips f.e. to Japan, however, it is always nice to have some company :) I live in a beautiful city of Gdańsk, Poland. I’m open for home swapping, pet sitting or just having someone to visit. My apartment is not the biggest one, but extra coach available. I would love to show you around and spend some quality time :) and of course, I’d be happy to visit your city someday too - let’s make it a fair exchange! Let me know if this sounds interesting!
