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

Katowice

Katowice is a safe city but sometimes you might feel unsafe alone at night when it's dark. I recommend carrying a pepper spray just in case but I have never needed to use it. No one has ever tried to rob me or anything but be carefull if any homeless person is around just in case - if you don't engage in any interaction with suspicious people you will be okay

I lived here my whole life and it feels pretty safe, even at night i walk alone for long distance and never had any troubles. Of course you can hear sometimes about unsafe situations, but it happens everywhere. I'm not afraid here almost all the time

The safest city in Poland. Crime level is very low and i can say i feel always safety at night as a woman. I recommend this city for every woman for solo travel. People here are nice and helpful. Also this is the cleanest city in whole Europe.

About me

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
