solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

Even at night I felt quite safe, but in the tenement house where we stayed there was a homeless man sleeping in the staircase, but he was calm. The area was very nice, about a kilometer from the market square. The food is of good quality

You can freely walk around the city during nighttime and nobody would care. After the parties I can go home easily and I don’t even live in the city center so it takes time for me to go home. And even if I’m alone outside at night I’ve never had trouble with it.

Very safe city during both day and night. Crime rates are quite low. At night just be careful when you go out to old town, some drunk people might disturb the peace (I haven't experienced this myself, but I've heard from other people. Yes I used to go out a lot but did not see anything out of sorts but ofc just keep an eye out and you're good!)
Posted: April 19, 2026Its safe. Be careful around city center, its very touristic. The most unsafe its around british tourists (male) :) but overall ...krakow is relaly safe..just buy tickets for public transportation, use bolts and ubers and your good.

About me
Hi!🧚🏼♀️ My name is Христина, but a lot of my friends call me Marmona (a long story), so you can call me that too! My parents decided that travelling with a baby is cool, so technically I’ve already been to hella lot of places. But my memory is not that good, so now i want to explore those places in my conscious mind 🥲 I love people and communication, but im afraid that I didn’t describe myself enough, so text me, maybe we will become good friends 🥹. As a Ukrainian, I never come empty handed, so if you will host me, be prepared for some presents 😌 Next destination is Italy 🇮🇹! Looking for accommodation in Rome 17.08-21.08(?) and in Naples 23.08-28.08 🥹❤️🔥 Currently I live in krakow, for studying, would love to host some people and can be helpful with information). And if u want to visit Ukraine, that’s also possible, my family lives there and my room is free, so text 🥰!
