Katowice, Solo travel
Overall, it was a very nice experience. I arrived very early in the morning, so it was still dark, but the city felt safe and calm. The streets were quiet and peaceful. I walked around until midday and people were kind, relaxed, and helpful. One person even stopped to chat with me, which made the experience feel very welcoming.

solo trip to krakow.. such a beautiful city.. i spent a lot of time in the jewish quarter – loved the street art, the little cafés and the whole atmosphere.. the food was amazing too.. it was winter, so a bit cold, but honestly the city still felt warm in its own way.. would totally go again

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.

My third time in Zakopane - this time with my mom and more for mountains, less for rest. My legs were dead after 6 hours in Hala Gąsienicowa and even more after Dolina Kościeliska. Weather was amazing, lots of people but still comfortable. Food soooo good! I mostly tried polish foods - żurek in bread recommended! My mom loved pierogi (without an s!) If you're looking for hotel there, I can send you a link for Booking.com as I don't remember the name now. We had amazing view for Giewont, balcony and peace for a really low price (Almost nothing!)

I’d say I felt mostly safe because I stayed at a female only hostel. But i also enjoyed the nightlife and everyone was very respectful even though i was sadly dangerously intoxicated:( (was having a bad day)

It's literally a village. It's super safe :) There's a city near it so it's quite a big village, but really quiet. To point the pluses, there're also some pretty forests and small lakes, where you can chill a bit in the summer :)

It is safe, also at night, people talk to you but they won't do anything dangerous. The only thing unsafe are car crashes, but that's inevitable. I really do feel safe walking there at night. Really great to visit!

I’ve lived here for a long time. Lublin is really safe. I didn’t experience any crimes and didn’t really hear of any serious ones, even though of course some thefts happen here. People are pretty helpful here and if you need anything you can always get some help on local facebook groups.

Pretty safe city. People are really nice and helpfull. I mostly stick to the centre of the city so I think of Szczecin as a safe place but i believe that you still have to watch out. City at night is almost asleep - no people on the streets. So i dont recommend going alone then.

the center is quite safe, I recommend avoiding the area around old tenement houses in the evenings, Sometimes there can be some rude people on Piotrkowska Street, but it's a party street, so it's not surprising

About me
Hi! My name is Magdalena, I'm a 19 years old psychology student living in Poznan, Poland 🇵🇱 (a 500k city in the western part of the country). I love travelling across the world, discovering new places and learning about different cultures, preferably while meeting great people and making memories that will stay with me for a long time😊 I'm usually a very active type of traveller - I'm always down for walking tours and sports activities, but also visiting art galleries/ museums to learn about the history of the place that I'm visiting.🎨 I'm more than happy to give advice for anyone who would like to travel to Poland, since I've been in almost every major city, so feel free to ask for anything! ❣ I'm not always available for hosting, but I'm happy to share some space and spend some time together if you ask in advance.
