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)

The safest city in Poland. Crime level is very low and i can say i feel always safety at night as a woman. I recommend this city for every woman for solo travel. People here are nice and helpful. Also this is the cleanest city in whole Europe.

Safe! You don't have to worry about coming back at night, and commuting, walking alone overall. There can be pickpockets in more lively and touristic places, as everywhere. But I'd not worry about it!
Posted: February 8, 2026Kraków, when it comes to most european cities is REALLY safe, I mean, this is a big city, so logically there will be places and people, who will be strange, and sometimes suspicious, so it’s important to think smart, to not go through dark places alone. For better understanding, in Krakow you can go by tram in the middle of the night, and nothing bad will happen (ofc while being careful). Also better for you if you don’t tell anyone about which football team is better.

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 🥰!
