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.

Krakow

Very safe city during both day and night. Crime rates are quite low. At night just be careful when you go out to old town, some drunk people might disturb the peace (I haven't experienced this myself, but I've heard from other people. Yes I used to go out a lot but did not see anything out of sorts but ofc just keep an eye out and you're good!)

Poznan

Poznań is a very safe city. U can walk at night in every street without feeling unsafe. Especially Stare Miasto, Jeżyce and Łazarz. U can go at night from the main station (Łazarz) to Stare Miasto (Main City) without hesitation. Main roads can be lighter because of lamps so it's better to be there at night. At daylight u can travel through Poznań even in small streets. Have a nice trip!

Gdansk

Better to walk in popular areas at night, I hate Orunia and zakoniczyn, overall during the day it's fine. U should be safe with company. The safest areas that I know personally are Wrzeszcz and city centre

About me

Hi I’m Kornelia and I’m 28 years old. I am open to new experiences just name it! (both while hosting and being hosted) I am pretty active (regularly working out) so I’m open to active adventures . While I like to take care of myself (healthy food, exercise etc) I enjoy a night out just as much :) I was born and raised in Italy and when I finished high school I moved to Poland and I am currently living here.
