I was at Gdańsk with my boyfriend. We spend great time walking through the center. We were at the mall, bought few things. In the end we went to play pool. Gdańsk have one in center. By the time we ate some delicious food so I deffinetly recommend Gdańsk. There is also a beautiful beach nearby!

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 the sea increases the coldness felt incredibly. I have also seen this city in the summer. I definitely recommend you to go there. There will be many activities to do and it will be easier to travel. The people seemed a bit cold to me. Apart from that, we stayed in an Airbnb 15 minutes away from the city center and unfortunately I was not very pleased. Apart from that, Poland is very nice. It is a safe country. I feel safer than I have ever felt in my life. I love it so much with everything. So definitely go there, but I recommend you choose it in the summer.

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;)

Just be careful like in any other place. Travel smart. No problem for women to walk outside in the evenings. Great communication, easy access everywhere. I leave in a pretty busy area, with a lot of attractions within 15 min drive.

The level of safety varies significantly between districts. The safest include Przymorze Małe, Brętowo, and VII Dwór, while Letnica and Młyniska are considered less safe. Despite general safety, this is not a city completely free from crime.

Based on the news what happened here and my personal feelings, something’s I feel insecure by walking here at the evening. But in general Gdańsk is a pretty safe city, I’m not scared about being robbed, I feel secure in my apartment. Just scared of walking alone after dark

About me

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!
