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

Kraków is an extremely safe place. You can feel safe during the day walking everywhere in the city and outskirts of it. During the night there aren’t that many people outside and walking after the dark you can feel safe too:)

warsaw is actually safe. people are telling that in warsaw are lot of dangerous people and lot of people stealing things but i don't think like that, people are stealing stuff everywhere so i don't think that warsaw is somewhere high in this ranking

I think Warsaw is a pretty safe capital. Obviously some things happen sometimes, but I havent had any really bad encounters yet. Sometimes someone weird might talk to you or say something weird, but nothing really physical most of the time. I have never been robbed here even in crowded places.
