I walked around Krakow by myself and found it to be very safe and welcoming. There is so much to do and see. I spent 5 days there and could've stayed longer. The worst thing that happened to me was I got stared at a lot and people asked to take pictures of me, but I think there just aren't a lot of travelers in Poland that look like me.

I was alone in Krakow and it was great. Very manageable, easy to navigate, and safe city. Friendly people, good food, and interesting history. Can't say enough good things about the place. I stayed in a wonderful Airbnb close to the main square and railway station.

Beautiful place with wonderful and caring people. Spent three full days - the death camps, Podgorze, Kazimierz, the main square, and the castle. I have wonderful memories. The city is stunning - everywhere is history, some good and some bad, but always thoughtful and inspiring.

It was so easy to get around and everyone was so friendly. I did my first solo trip there and didn’t feel unsafe once, loved every second of it and met so many people on day trips/nights out and in the hostel, I stayed in.

I recently came back from a trip to Krakow, Poland, where I had the opportunity to explore the city's rich history. I visited Auschwitz, the Jewish Quarter, and the Oskar Schindler factory, and it was an incredible experience. It was a powerful and humbling journey, and I was deeply moved by it.

Krakow is one of my favorite cities. Loads to do and really inexpensive to travel to too. Lots of history, such as Auschwitz, Schindler's factory, the Jewish Quarter, etc, and also very safe.

I recently visited Krakow, Poland on my first solo trip and it was wonderful. It’s safe and very cheap. The people were friendly and there is lots to see and do. I spent a day in the Tatra mountains which was lovely. I highly recommend visiting Auschwitz and the Salt Mines. It’s a beautiful place and very safe for solo travelers.

I was in Poland back in December and stayed in both Warsaw and Krakow. I highly recommend Krakow, it’s a beautiful town, people speak in English, very cheap, and there are different small group day trips you can easily book from there. I highly recommend Zakopane and the hot springs, Auschwitz, and Schindler’s factory.

Krakow is a fantastic city. Auschwitz is not to be missed. Wawel Cathedral is a must. So beautiful and steeped in so much history. A lot of the museums/places of interest are in The Old Town and it’s a very walkable city. Schindler’s Museum was a must for me. I’ll definitely be back. I visited Wrocław also. Loved it there. Poland is amazing.
