I feel safe here but there are man who would call me names and try to take my pictures or touch me improperly. I witnessed a situation where a man was taking photos of a girl from below to capture her underwear. Besides, it's really quiet and safe here, and situations like the ones i describe rarely happen.

Olsztyn is quite a safe city. I don't feel unsafe even at night. But as always, you may meet a drunk or unstable person on the streets, especially in summer at night, so just don't let your guard down.

It’s a number one city in Poland in the recent ranking of the cities in which people are the happiest, one of the factors was safety. I’ve been living here for almost all of my life (excluding 6 years of studies in different city) and I have never felt like I’m in danger.
