In general, I feel safe. Perhaps because I usually don't walk here alone at night and don't go to abandoned places. Daytime and evening solo walks do not cause any discomfort or safety concerns.

Haven’t had any bad experiences in the 25 years I’ve lived here but there are a lot of alcoholics and some drug addicts that can behave obnoxiously on the streets and it freaks me out sometimes. Haven’t been mugged or really harassed either, but I know some people have been. It’s not like a common concern though I think. Get catcalled like once every few months. I don’t go clubbing to popular places, but I heard there’s a lot of harassment in places like Prywatka, so best to avoid that. Ignorantka or Willa in the Park are extremely safe and chill places.

Solo travel experience

I came here as an Erasmus student and I live in Lodz. In these six months, I want to travel as much as I can. From my experiences, Piotrkowska is a street you should definitely explore. It is the longest street in Lodz and Manufaktura has a unique vibe. As a Turkish person, I didn't enjoy the food that extensively, but I believe I haven't tried enough.
