Warsaw is a safe place for women traveling alone. I travel there very often due to university. It is super easy to get around as public transportation is comfortable and organized. You can download the app Jakdojade to get around Warsaw and you can also buy transportation tickets from there. I always felt safe during the night as well, a part from some drunk men that might approach during the night in the city centre. However, if you just tell them to leave they will leave. It is cheap and there’s many supermarkets named Zabka that sell many quick meal options for cheap.

Super cheap and ate very good. Got a good hostel 30 seconds away to a huge club street. Like 10 minutes from the main area of the city. Enjoyed really cheap fun shots. There was a club named “Havana” nearby. Great club. Wonderful art n very cold. Not a lot of English speakers but can get around easily with just saying Kurwa.
Posted: August 18, 2024I liked Warsaw. This city is so calm. Young generation know English and they are helpful. Food is avarage but I came from Turkey so I may felt that because of the awesomeness of Turkish cuisine. Public transportation is so easy and cheap. If you stay 1 month I recommend you get a 1 month public transportation card
Posted: August 3, 2024I felt very safe in Warsaw; there are many museums to visit and a variety of restaurants. I recommend sushi in the market square. The shopping mall is large and has many interesting stores. It's worth renting a bike and riding it around the city.
Posted: June 7, 2024I went to Warsaw on Christmas eve and despite this I managed to have a good time. There was lots to see and it was very cheap. I felt safe as a woman. I went around to the old quarter and Christmas markets. The food was also delicious.

I felt safe in warsaw and loved walking around. At night I preferred to stay in well-lit areas of course, normally while walking back to my airbnb in the "old town" which is a great area to stay in! My itinerary was taking as many tours as possible, such as the "WW2 in warsaw" free walking tour. I recommend the Pierogis at the restaurant "Restauracja Głodomory Mokotów" just south of a BEAUTIFUL park called Palace on the Isle (Pałac na Wyspie)

I feel safe. Howower Warsaw is a capital city, so little crowded. You must see the museums and parks. I think Public transport little expensive because we were transfer to one bus to another. Old city beautiful in the night. Altough food and wine more expensive old city area
Posted: March 13, 2024Experienced: February, 2024Warsaw is a beautiful city. They have many beautiful parks to walk in, and the "Old Town" is so nice and historical. I ate delicious dumplings and soup there. The transportation system is also easy to use.
Posted: August 8, 2023I highly recommend visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum (mandatory), the Museum of Literature, as well as the POLIN Museum. I went to the Chopin Museum (my favorite composer). The Lapidarium of Antiquities is a famous small antique shop, which is located near the Royal Route and is splendid. I avoided the city center (known as Old Town) and the Royal Route when I was looking for food, and it turned out that my favorite restaurants are a bit on the outskirts. Łazienki Park was also beautiful.
Posted: August 8, 2023Warsaw was a beautiful place to be. It was very safe and friendly. I liked the old town, many performances in the evenings. This is particularly influential because, like many things in Warsaw, it was completely rebuilt after being bombed into oblivion during World War II. The Polish people are amazing. I liked the food, gardens and music.

I would say it is safer in the city centre than in the suburbs or Praga Północ. In the suburbs are many drunk old men(once I was on a late walk with my dog and two men started to chase me and were following me for good 15minutes). I would say it’s safer to travel here with somebody.
Posted: January 19, 2025Warsaw is known as one of the safest cities in Europe. The crime rate is low, homeless people aren’t aggressive and you won’t meet anyone here who is under influence of forbidden substances. I always feel safe even while going home in the middle of the night
