I felt safe, but at times I was a bit anxious. I mostly traveled alone, but a relative who lives there had already told me about the most popular and must-see places. 1. Muzeum Narodowe 2. The Royal Lazienki Museum 3. Museum/Palace Wilanow 4. Museum Fryderyka Chopina … I couldn’t quite enjoy the food. There was one place I loved, though, and I visited it multiple times to have pizza: Pizza by the Slice👌🏻
Posted: February 11, 2025We (3 girls) did not feel safe at all. We were visiting for only one day, but that was still enough for us to be assaulted by men 3 times and once we had to report an exhibicionist in a late night bus. Disgusting experience, i trust polish men no more

Warsaw is a safe place for women traveling alone. I travel there very often due to university. It is super easy to get around as public transportation is comfortable and organized. You can download the app Jakdojade to get around Warsaw and you can also buy transportation tickets from there. I always felt safe during the night as well, a part from some drunk men that might approach during the night in the city centre. However, if you just tell them to leave they will leave. It is cheap and there’s many supermarkets named Zabka that sell many quick meal options for cheap.

Super cheap and ate very good. Got a good hostel 30 seconds away to a huge club street. Like 10 minutes from the main area of the city. Enjoyed really cheap fun shots. There was a club named “Havana” nearby. Great club. Wonderful art n very cold. Not a lot of English speakers but can get around easily with just saying Kurwa.
Posted: August 18, 2024I liked Warsaw. This city is so calm. Young generation know English and they are helpful. Food is avarage but I came from Turkey so I may felt that because of the awesomeness of Turkish cuisine. Public transportation is so easy and cheap. If you stay 1 month I recommend you get a 1 month public transportation card
Posted: August 3, 2024I felt very safe in Warsaw; there are many museums to visit and a variety of restaurants. I recommend sushi in the market square. The shopping mall is large and has many interesting stores. It's worth renting a bike and riding it around the city.
Posted: June 7, 2024I went to Warsaw on Christmas eve and despite this I managed to have a good time. There was lots to see and it was very cheap. I felt safe as a woman. I went around to the old quarter and Christmas markets. The food was also delicious.

I felt safe in warsaw and loved walking around. At night I preferred to stay in well-lit areas of course, normally while walking back to my airbnb in the "old town" which is a great area to stay in! My itinerary was taking as many tours as possible, such as the "WW2 in warsaw" free walking tour. I recommend the Pierogis at the restaurant "Restauracja Głodomory Mokotów" just south of a BEAUTIFUL park called Palace on the Isle (Pałac na Wyspie)

I feel safe. Howower Warsaw is a capital city, so little crowded. You must see the museums and parks. I think Public transport little expensive because we were transfer to one bus to another. Old city beautiful in the night. Altough food and wine more expensive old city area
Posted: March 13, 2024Experienced: February, 2024Warsaw is a beautiful city. They have many beautiful parks to walk in, and the "Old Town" is so nice and historical. I ate delicious dumplings and soup there. The transportation system is also easy to use.

You can feel safe all night in public especially when you're with another person. Strangers always help if you have a problem. You don't have to worry about getting uber late at night, for me it was always peaceful and safe.

During the day it's a safe place, especially if you're not traveling alone. At night I'd be afraid to travel alone, although nothing bad has ever happened to me. Traveling in pairs should scare away potential attackers.

Hi! I’m Laura ☀️ I’m a first year sociology student who works remotely and I want to explore some place this summer a little bit more. Last year I did a month of travelling through Europe and I caught a maajor travel bug 🐛 A little bit more about myself: - My interests are around sociology, psychology, people in general - Social work is a big part of my life - I’ve been a volunteer in a few organisations throughout the years, mostly about education, youth, animal right and climate and I also work in a home education school 🏫 - I love to learn about anything and everything that peaks my interest, right now I’m learning Japanese and I plan trips even when I don’t have concrete plans for them - I’m veery passionate about food 🥪 I love visiting new places and trying new things, but I’m also a pretty decent cook. I’m vegan myself, but if you are not - that’s perfectly okay! - I used to be not very sociable, but right now I find so much fulfilment in fostering new connections - that is also a big reason I joined this community! Hopefully I’ll be able to meet some of you and I’ll be able to share much more about myself than I could possibly write here, but also get to know you 🤩 I’m in a place where I’m wondering (and kind of worrying) a lot about my future and exploring a lot of possibilities - that is also one of the reasons I want to travel and meet various people, I think that’s the best way to learn (about life in general) ☺️ Thank you for reading! Hope to hear from you 🫶

Hi, I’m Roop! I’m a university student in London. I’m a Portuguese national, with Indian background. I’m planning to spend my year with lots of adventures and travelling. I’m excited to use this platform to build genuine connections and safe travel! I would love to show you around in London. I’m planning to travel around in summer June-July, still exploring the opportunities and would love to have a travel buddy! (An affordable trip as a student) I’m thinking of Japan (preferably country side, to experience mountains, seaside, and summer festivals), Türkiye (just something about their culture and language draws me in, again I’m a big mountain girl, somewhere with good landscape), Bulgaria, Slovakia, south east Asia, and many more. I’m still exploring the options. Would love someone to convince me! 😭
