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

I traveled to Krakow solo and felt completely safe the whole time, even at night. The city is very walkable and easy to navigate. I stayed at a budget-friendly hostel near the Old Town, which was perfect for meeting other travelers. Highlights: Wawel Castle, Schindler’s Factory, and a day trip to Auschwitz (powerful and emotional—book in advance). For food, I recommend Milkbar Tomasza and trying zapiekanka in Kazimierz. Public transport is reliable, but I mostly walked. I spent about 40 EUR/day, including meals, museum entries, and transport. My itinerary: Day 1 – Old Town + Wawel; Day 2 – Auschwitz; Day 3 – Kazimierz + Vistula river walk. Krakow is perfect for solo travelers!

I visited Krakow twice and both times I wasn't disappointed. It may be that I'm from the CZ (and PL is similar) but I always felt at home & safe. The people were nice & the sights were beautiful in this historic place. I highly recommend visiting the museum of Schindler's Factory especially if you like history, Wieliczka salt mines and the historical city centre. The food here is typical Slavic/central European cuisine but there's also plenty of restaurants which offer various other meals. We got around by car which was kinda long so if you can, park near the centre and go on foot, even walking through the city is a beautiful experience 😍❤️🇵🇱

You can see ancient places, if you like museums a lot(especially aviation) I recommend you to go see Kraków. We went there by train from Rzeszów for just 20 zł as students! Highly recommend!!!!!

I believe it's a safe city - sometimes someone will act weird or men will act "like men" but in general it's safe & you get rarely interrupted. I carry safety tools such as paper gas just in case of an emergency but never had to use it and I go out a lot.
