Is Warsaw Safe for Solo Female Travelers?

Solo travel experience

Warsaw is a beautiful city. They have many beautiful parks to walk around and the "Old Town" is so pretty and historic. I had delicious pierogies and soup there. The transportation system is easy to use also.

Highly recommend visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum (a must), the Museum of Literature, as well as the POLIN Museum. I went to the Chopin Museum (my favorite composer). Lapidarium Antyki is a famous little antique shop near the Royal Route and it’s fabulous. I avoided the city center (called Stare Miasto) and royal route when I looked for food, and I found that my favorite restaurants were a little on the outskirts. The Royal Baths Park was also beautiful.

Warsaw was a beautiful place to be. It was very safe and friendly. I enjoyed the Old Town, lots of performers in the evenings. It’s especially impactful because, like many things in Warsaw, it was completely rebuilt after being bombed into oblivion in WWII. Polish people are incredible. Enjoyed the food and the gardens and the music.

Inside Warsaw, I enjoyed The Palace of Cultural (view of the city), the Resistance Museum, and the Palace Gardens that are next to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldiers. The mermaid statue was also lovely. The old city center and Warsaw Zoo were also great.

I stayed in Warsaw in November for 3 days. Took a free city tour and I highly recommend it. The weather was a bit rainy at times, but in autumn there is so beautiful and there is a huge park which I enjoyed a lot. Great food options also! I enjoyed my stay there and felt safe at all times. Was even out after dark. Uber was also very cheap.

Warsaw it's cleary a location you must see. I was amazed by the arhitecture of the Old Town. I only stayed there for 2 days but I'm sure I will return because I believe I haven't seen all.

Solo travel experience

I went to Warsaw last year and felt incredibly comfortable and welcome, the people were so nice. I even felt comfortable walking alone in the evening which I often don’t.

Recently been to Warsaw, and really liked it. The old city is nice to wander through, I was very impressed by the Jewish Historical Institute, the palace of culture and science has a nice viewpoint and although it was brief, I liked the neighborhood Praga on the other side of the water.

I fell in love with Warsaw. I love how they reconstructed the old town to its exact appearance before the bombing. The museum of the Warsaw uprising is well executed and very moving. The Polin museum of the Polish Jews is a unique immersive experience - one of the best museums I have ever visited and I have been to so many. The Chopin museum is heaven for lovers of his music and turned me into a fan. The National museum of Warsaw has a dazzling collection of medieval art. I only spent a few days and would go back in a heartbeat.

Things to do: You should visit the Lazienki-Park and Castle, the POLIN-Museum, the castle (use a audio-guide!) and the Copernicus Science Centrum. Food: Eat pierogi. Recommendations: Learn a few words in polish language (please, thank you, hello, yes, no...) - it is always appreciated by the locals.

I'm from Warsaw and recommend visiting those places: Museum of Warsaw Uprising, Wilanów Castle, Palace of Culture and Science (you can go to the terrace at 30th floor), the Royal Castle, Old Town, New Town, Krakowskie Przedmieście (or the all Royal Route) Royal Łazienki Park, Copernice Science Centre, Museum of Polish Jews Polin, the Fryderyk Chopin Museum. Walk around Vistula River and there are some cafes and bars or the beach, you can take water taxi for free, Botanical Garden in Powsin (it's close to Warsaw, you can go there by bus), you can go to Zapiecek to eat pierogi, you can find some nice cafes where you buy a coffee and get breakfast for free (I recommend MOMU it's not far from Metro Ratusz Arsenał), you can try our Zapiekanka - it's like a kind of big sandwich, you can visit Wedel Factory or just some cafes.
