Warsaw is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

I felt really safe during the trip, it's a really beautiful city. Definitely going for a next trip again. The people are very friendly and there are many different activities to do, also in the night time.

I had a great time in Warsaw and thought the city was super safe and easy to navigate. I ended up taking several Bolt taxis and never felt unsafe in any of them. The public transportation was also very clean and easy to understand. The Uprising Museum was probably my favorite thing I did and I also enjoyed walking around the old city and some of the parks. Oh and I made sure to eat a ton of pierogis, which were all delicious.

In general I think it’s pretty safe but there are some places to avoid I think the main one is Praga - północ but in the night. In general you’ll see a lot of strange people in praga but in the day it’s okay no one should bother you but at night I would avoid it but also if you’ll end up there in the night you should just be more aware of your surroundings and that’s all. Also i recommend for going out Nowy Świat because there’s always something going on so there’s a lot of people = safer....
Posted: July 12, 2026Generally Warsaw is very safe, not much crime happening. I don't mind walking at night (ofc, the same during the day). In some areas you can see drug users or homeless people so it's this part of city (Praga Północ, Dworzec Centralny) I don't feel safe to go during the night. But nothing ever happened to me, just sketchy feeling.
Posted: July 9, 2026Very safe city, during the day I would say there are no unsafe areas, during the night maybe some specific districts, but without any extremum. I can recommend it to every girl who want to start with solotraveling!
Posted: June 16, 2026Generally, it's okay, but there are often drunk people. Homeless people are a common sight in the city center, so I'd be careful at night. However, I've returned from the city center around 10 p.m. more than once, and it wasn't too bad.

About me
I'm a 22 (still can't get used to it) year-old medical student living in Warsaw, so I don't mind living in an inhumanly small flat or sleeping on the floor. I actually come from the mountains so the one thing I appreciate the most is public transport. I can cook you vegetarian/vegan meals if you want, but I'm capable of living by eating only instant ramen and drinking energy drinks for weeks. As you see, I won't be an inconvenience. However I'm keen on getting to know you or going out if you're up to it. I'd appreciate it if you show me your fav spots in the city. I am an ambivert (that means I can conform to your way of being), that's why I can party with you, have a deep conversation about the meaning of life (by Monthy Python obv) or just take a French leave if you prefer being alone at home. As you can see, I'm a perfect couch surfer haha. I use BeWelcome too here’s a link to my profile there: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/dogwithdisease And couchsurfing: https://www.couchsurfing.com/c/users/annalegowik Also couchers but I’m new to it: https://couchers.org/profile/about
