It's a very safe place where you can start your first solo trip. If you are a backpacker like me, it's a really cheap destination to begin your travel journey. That's what I was doing - it's my first baby step. I felt very safe, didn't spend too much money, the food is delicious, locals are friendly. I really enjoyed it.

To be honest Białystok is a pretty safe city. During the day there's mostly absolutely nothing you should be worried about, unpleasant situations happen very rarely then. I have lived there for my whole life and maybe twice I've been cat called by a stranger during a day there. When it comes to the night I would recommend being a bit more cautious as especially during the weekends there's a lot of drunk people near the city center exiting the bars or the clubs... But I haven't ever really worried about anything serious happening to me. Maybe 3 times in life I really had a threatening situation during the night there as someone followed me home once, a guy once tried stopping me on the street by grabbing me and once I was a witness of a serious street fight. Other than that I would not recommend going to dark places during the night and stick to the city center as you never know who's lurking around in the dark areas and you may meet unpleasant people there. Overall I'd say it's a pretty safe city.
