Warsaw, 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.

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 was quite safe. I stayed in a hostel where they had mixed rooms- but during most of the stay they only had women in that room. I ventured into the mountains alone. Not sure about the people knowing english there - I used broken polish to communicate because I had the feeling no one would understand english. Keep in mind that big stores are closed on sundays so buy your food early!!

I felt really safe in this city. It is also more of a small city with not too many tourists. There are not too many activities to do, but the shopping malls and prices are really good. I enjoyed this trip a lot.

Kraków is a very safe city overall. In the city center, the only thing you have to look out for are pick picketers but thats not really common. Be careful at night, there are a lot of drunk people (mostly tourists) but it’s not very dangerous, just be aware of your surroundings and you’ll be fine.

Bydgoszcz is beautiful city. There are not many incidents, so you can be safe here 😊 There is an estate "Londynek". It's the only place where is better to not show up. People are nice and there is many Police.

its rather safe but people but some people can be racist. So when you are a person of colour you should watch out. Some man may say dirty things to you but most of them wont do anything so you don’t have to worry about rape or smth like this

For me Krakow is very safe. I’ve never been or been worried about being pickpocketed or robbed. I live here for 2 years right now and I can tell I’ve felt twice at max not so safe, but also nothing happened, coz i just walked away. I also think it’s pretty safe in the night
