really great stay. city is wonderful, i would go to this big central park (forgot what it’s called but it was really beautiful). felt super safe! public transport is pretty simple too but if you need any help everyone was happy to help me!
Posted: January 23, 2026Experienced: January, 2025Warsaw 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.
Posted: October 11, 2025I 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.
Posted: July 23, 2025I felf very safe. Its the capital of the country so its a little more expensive than other places but I hear that for travelers its still pretty cheap place. You have a lot of historia building to see if youre interested
Posted: July 10, 2025I recommend „Hala Koszyki”. A food court which has the cousins from around the world. Everyone will find something for themselves. Old town is so so so pretty and the subway works really well. There’s a lot more to see like Muzeum Kopernika :)

For me, the city of Warsaw is very beautiful, unfortunately I didn't like it because of the hustle and bustle🙃 On my next trip I'm thinking of going to Gdansk and make the most of this summer with my son 👶

I felt safe, but at times I was a bit anxious. I mostly traveled alone, but a relative who lives there had already told me about the most popular and must-see places. 1. Muzeum Narodowe 2. The Royal Lazienki Museum 3. Museum/Palace Wilanow 4. Museum Fryderyka Chopina … I couldn’t quite enjoy the food. There was one place I loved, though, and I visited it multiple times to have pizza: Pizza by the Slice👌🏻
Posted: February 11, 2025We (3 girls) did not feel safe at all. We were visiting for only one day, but that was still enough for us to be assaulted by men 3 times and once we had to report an exhibicionist in a late night bus. Disgusting experience, i trust polish men no more

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...

In general Warsaw is very safe, usually you can move around at night and nothing will happen to you, I feel very safe going home alone even at night. You should be careful though especially in the Praga Północ district. It's not as dangerous as it used to be, but you can still encounter some weird people there under influence of alcohol/other substances and the vibe on some streets is still not great.

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.

In comparison to other Europeans countries, I would say Poland, and Warsaw I general is very safe. Never had any dangerous incidents. In public transport it's always good to be careful of picpockets, as in all public transport everywhere. :)
