Is Warsaw safe for solo female travelers?

Warsaw, like most of Poland, is generally safe for solo female travelers. The city is well-lit, the locals are friendly and willing to help, there is a low general crime rate and an effective police force. Appropriate precautions - as you would in your home country like avoiding dark, isolated places at night and keeping an eye on your belongings in crowded spaces, will enhance your safety. However, it's still important to stay cautious, especially at night. Warsaw's safety is boosted by its amazing public transportation system which gives you easy and safe transport options at all times.

Travel safety index

4.5 /5

based on 29 experiences from female travelers

Solo travel

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.

For me, Warsaw has felt safe and comfortable to live in. I can walk around the city, explore new neighborhoods, and just enjoy the atmosphere without really worrying. People are respectful, the streets feel calm, and there’s a sense of order that makes it easy to relax and settle in. It’s the kind of place where you can live your life normally and feel at ease doing it.

Generally Poland is one of the safiest countries. Warsaw is the capitol, so there's may arrive different kinds of people but especially in the centre is a lot of police. I almost everyday come back home late in night and never anything dangerous happened.

Warsaw is usually very safe for women, also for solo travellers. However, as in any major cities, basic safety precautions are recommended. Some neighbourhoods, especially late-night, might be less safe.

Hiii! I'm extremely bad when it comes to the "about me" section 😄 Recently I've been trying to motivate myself to travel and meet new people. I find it a little bit difficult. For almost 2 years I've been working in a TV corporation and I feel my life sparkle is disappearing. That's why I'm pushing to refind excitement in my life. I would love to meet some amazing people here, exchange experiences or just have a good time

Hi 👋🏼 I’m a kind, cheerful, and open-minded person who loves traveling and discovering new places. I carry a lot of positive energy and love sharing it with others, seeing every adventure as a chance for growth and inspiring new experiences I’m here to connect with inspiring women from all over the world.

I truly believe that exploring different parts of the world and meeting people from diverse backgrounds helps us grow in compassion and understanding. That’s why I’d be so happy if you’d share your culture with me — and of course, I’m excited to share mine with you too! Feel free to reach out anytime — whether you want to meet up in Amsterdam, hang out, need tips about the city, or if you’re a local where I’m planning to travel next. Or just to chat! Looking forward to hearing from you.

About me

Hi! I’m Laura ☀️ I’m a first year sociology student who works remotely and I want to explore some place this summer a little bit more. Last year I did a month of travelling through Europe and I caught a maajor travel bug 🐛 A little bit more about myself: - My interests are around sociology, psychology, people in general - Social work is a big part of my life - I’ve been a volunteer in a few organisations throughout the years, mostly about education, youth, animal right and climate and I also work in a home education school 🏫 - I love to learn about anything and everything that peaks my interest, right now I’m learning Japanese and I plan trips even when I don’t have concrete plans for them - I’m veery passionate about food 🥪 I love visiting new places and trying new things, but I’m also a pretty decent cook. I’m vegan myself, but if you are not - that’s fine! - I used to be not very sociable, but right now I find so much fulfilment in fostering new connections - that is also a big reason I joined this community! Hopefully I’ll be able to meet some of you and I’ll be able to share much more about myself than I could possibly write here, but also get to know you 🤩 I’m in a place where I’m wondering (and kind of worrying) a lot about my future and exploring a lot of possibilities - that is also one of the reasons I want to travel and meet various people, I think that’s the best way to learn (about life in general) ☺️ Thank you for reading! Hope to hear from you 🫶
