Is Krakow Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

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.

Family travel experience

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.

Group travel experience

I love Krakow. I've been in Poland before. It's a safe place to go out and get home safely. You can attend to free guided tours. You can walk to see the historical places. The weather was so nice but you should still bring some hoodies with you. Krakow is a cheap place there are a lot pf froigner students here. It's a perfect place to have fun thanks to the great clubs

Solo travel experience

There are lots of amazing historical sights and a cute bunny cafe I recommend. I felt safe all hours of the day and I spent 3 days walking around eating amazing food and taking tours. I recommend all of Poland for a solo trip. It's safe and affordable.

Poland is in my opinion a super safe country to travel, everyone I met there was nice and kind, food is great, not a expensive country and many interesting places to visit. Near Krakow you can visit Auschwitz and Wieliczka mine.

Solo travel experience

I loved Krakow. I felt safe, even during group "pub crawl" until the early morning hours. I participated in a free sightseeing walk and visited Auschwitz, Salt Mine, Wawel Castle and Schindler's Museum.

Solo travel experience

I went to Krakow by myself in January and it was my first ever solo trip. I was 19 years old and I never felt unsafe for a moment. I went on a trip to Auschwitz with GetYourGuide and took part in a free city walk. I also went on a pub crawl, which was very spontaneous, but I had a great time and never felt unsafe. People were very nice and friendly.

Solo travel experience

History was really rich and i enjoyed long walk around the city. The food was excellent every were and very budget friendly. It also felt very safe everywhere. The visit of a salt mine a little bit out of town was really worth it. I was beautiful and filled with art pieces made out of salt.

It is quite safe in Krakow. Sometimes, I walk home alone after meeting friends in the evening, and I do feel safe. Of course, I'm always looking around if anything looks suspicious, but generally, I feel safe. A couple of my friends had uncomfortable situations with men in public, but after responding loudly and firmly, they were left alone.

There are free walking tours in the main square for foreigners. The city is walkable. Kraków is very safe city especiall at night. You can use public transport without hesitation. Bolt with option only for women is also available.

Group travel experience

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.

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
