Warsaw is one of the calmest capital i have ever been. Felt so safe. It’s not that much expensive as well. People are friendly and public transportation is also cheap as compared to other European countries.

I felt really safe during the trip, it's a really beautiful city. Definitely going for a next trip again. The people are very friendly and there are many different activities to do, also in the night time.

I had a great time in Warsaw and thought the city was super safe and easy to navigate. I ended up taking several Bolt taxis and never felt unsafe in any of them. The public transportation was also very clean and easy to understand. The Uprising Museum was probably my favorite thing I did and I also enjoyed walking around the old city and some of the parks. Oh and I made sure to eat a ton of pierogis, which were all delicious.

Generally, it's okay, but there are often drunk people. Homeless people are a common sight in the city center, so I'd be careful at night. However, I've returned from the city center around 10 p.m. more than once, and it wasn't too bad.

In comparison to other Europeans countries, I would say Poland, and Warsaw I general is very safe. Never had any dangerous incidents. In public transport it's always good to be careful of picpockets, as in all public transport everywhere. :)
Posted: April 26, 2026I think more safe than one of my little hometown . You can stay your thing and buy something and don’t be robbed. But you need to be careful about your life and things. Warsaw has some problems but at all it’s not dangerous town

About me
I'm a 22 (still can't get used to it) year-old medical student living in Warsaw, so I don't mind living in an inhumanly small flat or sleeping on the floor. I actually come from the mountains so the one thing I appreciate the most is public transport. I can cook you vegetarian/vegan meals if you want, but I'm capable of living by eating only instant ramen and drinking energy drinks for weeks. As you see, I won't be an inconvenience. However I'm keen on getting to know you or going out if you're up to it. I'd appreciate it if you show me your fav spots in the city. I am an ambivert (that means I can conform to your way of being), that's why I can party with you, have a deep conversation about the meaning of life (by Monthy Python obv) or just take a French leave if you prefer being alone at home. As you can see, I'm a perfect couch surfer haha. I use BeWelcome too here’s a link to my profile there: https://www.bewelcome.org/members/dogwithdisease And couchsurfing: https://www.couchsurfing.com/c/users/annalegowik Also couchers but I’m new to it: https://couchers.org/profile/about

About me
I love spontanious trips - the more obstacles - the better stories will my kids get, so I don’t mind any discomfort. I study psychology and my biggest passion is cinema and cycling, but I usually tend to spend my free time with my friends vibing, recalling stories form our childhood while having a beer or playing silly games. If I ever have the chance to be your guest - I would love to be able to return the favor and show you around Warsaw!
