Bydgoszcz, Solo travel

I'm studying here. Very pretty city, I feel really safe. I've been here 7 months now and had no problems so far. There are organized many attractions, seasonal such as a Christmas Market etc. There is an opera here as well.

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.

Poznan

Poznan is great city, even in the dark but you still need to be safe because as in every country there are some sketchy dudes but mostly the people are welcoming and everything depends on your own experience!!! Stay safe🌸🌸

Gdansk

Gdańsk is generally a very safe city. I have lived here most of my life and I feel comfortable walking around both during the day and in the evening. The city centre and most neighbourhoods are safe and welcoming for residents and tourists. The only area I would not particularly recommend is Lower Orunia (Orunia Dolna), especially late at night. Other than that, Gdańsk is a great and safe place to visit and live.

Warsaw

Very 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!
