Is Krakow Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel

I really liked this town and I'm dreaming every day to come back and walk those streets again. This city is a dream come true tbh, the views, food and attractions are ON THE TOP, literally. Breads similar to bagels, called obważanki are amazing.

Solo travel

Krakow was my first solo trip ever and I’ve had half a day to explore the city between my flight connection to Aarhus. It turned out to be not as scary as I expected and although I was too petty to stay in the hotel for only 5 hours and decided to sleep on a bench in an airport, before, I had plenty of time to roam around and see AMAZING places. The thing I liked the most was the mix of old historical and contemporary architecture. Then goes the safety overall, I not one single time felt unsafe or tried to put my phone deeper in my pocket haha :). The prices were slightly lower than in Denmark, where I live right now. Overall, I underestimated Poland and next time I will go to (maybe?) Warsaw with my architect-student boyfriend to explore different corners of this beautiful country together! 🤟

I really like my time there, although when I try to call an Uber, they had the option “just for woman” that made me feel a little unsafe, because I never seen that option before, so it means something happen there! Then I ask for more details and it really had happened some cases of abuse to girls! But besides that, really loved everything and nothing happened to me

Krakow is a very nice city, I stayed in Bubble Hostel and i felt very safe, even though it was my first solo trip. Near Krakow it has many interesting activities and venues to see! I visited the salt mine and the Auschwitz camp. The salt mine was 100 zloty, which is not expensive and the Auschwitz camp was free without a guide. Also the old town is very pretty and is walkable! You should definitely visit the Wawel castle but be sure to have a lot of time ahead of you because it's huge!! Overall the experience was really good and I would recommend it for budget travelling! 😊

I spent a day in Krakow, and it was quite an experience. The highlight was visiting the Wieliczka Salt Mine. The underground tunnels and chambers carved from salt were fascinating, especially the Chapel of St. Kinga with its detailed salt sculptures and chandeliers. After the mine, I walked around Krakow. The city’s architecture is stunning. The Wawel Castle by the Vistula River and the medieval buildings in the Old Town, especially around the Main Market Square and St. Mary’s Basilica, were impressive and beautiful. However, I wasn’t a fan of the local food. It was too heavy and greasy for my taste. The service in restaurants was also disappointing—slow and inattentive.

Solo travel

I stayed 15 minutes away from the Main Square. I felt extremely safe in this city as this was my first solo trip. I would definitely recommend Auschwitz, Salt Mine, Zakopane and Oscar’s Factory. There are all different kinds of restaurants in the main square. You can walk around the town very easy. There are buses, trams, Uber, bolt and taxis all available to travel to different parts.

Solo travel

People are usually very early drunk and also most of them are gona shout to you. Always walk with people from hostel or groups to skip that . There are a lot of bar crawling events and a lot of party hostels keep that in mind when you book your accommodation. Most of them are open to be joined so consider of booking a normal hostel in case you are not 100% in to that

Family travel

I felt so safe and I travelled with my sister. I would recommend the salt mine tour combined with the auchwitz and Birkenau guided tour. I travelled for the Christmas markets in December 2021 but felt like this city had so much more to offer. Cute little quirky streets round the whole old town centre. I would love to go back!

Kraków it's my favorite city in Poland! I love the architecture and food. Oh the food is amazing 🤩 I love to spend time just walking around in old town and kazimierz. Kraków is a little bit expensive but not too much. I never experienced robbery or something like that. I always feel safe in Krakow. The public transport is really good working. I stay in private room with shared bathroom and it was okay. I really recommend visiting Krakow.

I never feel worried about my safety during the daytime and there are always some people on the streets, at least around the town centre, so you feel more comfortable walking around in the dark. Same with the public transport - there are safety cameras installed inside the vehicles and when anything suspicion is going on, fellow passengers or drivers are usually quick to react

I live in kraków all my life and i never had any bad sitiuation. Its very very very safe. I travel a lot and never felt safer in any place than in kraków!💓 Public transport is clean and safe. We don't have any criminal district. You can go out at night, no worries but remember about classic safety rules like don't leaving ur drink alone on the table
