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.

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.

In general I think it’s pretty safe but there are some places to avoid I think the main one is Praga - północ but in the night. In general you’ll see a lot of strange people in praga but in the day it’s okay no one should bother you but at night I would avoid it but also if you’ll end up there in the night you should just be more aware of your surroundings and that’s all. Also i recommend for going out Nowy Świat because there’s always something going on so there’s a lot of people = safer....

Generally Warsaw is very safe, not much crime happening. I don't mind walking at night (ofc, the same during the day). In some areas you can see drug users or homeless people so it's this part of city (Praga Północ, Dworzec Centralny) I don't feel safe to go during the night. But nothing ever happened to me, just sketchy feeling.

Generally safe, I would avoid the old town during the night cause it's full of drunk people coming to Kraków for stag parties. Howover, since night prohibition was introduced I heard the crime rate dropped

Poland is a safe country, however Gdańsk has a lot of tourists coming from everywhere doing everything so... just beware of drunk strangers! Pick pocketing is not as common, but obviously watch your things, especially in the old city.

About me
Hi! I'm Marlena, I'm 21 years old this year. I would describe myself as an open, positive person. I love life and I genuinely love people! I think my biggest passion is sitting at cafes, gossiping and people watching :) On a more serious note, I adore travelling, meeting the locals and exploring places I've never been to. I'm also in my second year of med school and I'm currently writing 2 reaserch papers about the influence of being a succesful woman on dating opportunities. I also have a beatiful 3 year old Australian shepherd :)
