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

Me and my friends have been catcalled a lot in the old town area however it was never beyond. Drunk people may disturb you late at night. These were minor inconviences. At the end its a nice place to visit and I would say that its safe. I've been out late at night most of the time!!

Poznan

I’d say that it’s a pretty safe city. Though I wouldn’t recommend taking less popular streets after dark. The main train station (Avenida) has a lot of sometimes creepy people, so I would stay clear of there unless it’s absolutely necessary.
