I 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.
Posted: August 8, 2023I highly recommend visiting the Warsaw Uprising Museum (mandatory), the Museum of Literature, as well as the POLIN Museum. I went to the Chopin Museum (my favorite composer). The Lapidarium of Antiquities is a famous small antique shop, which is located near the Royal Route and is splendid. I avoided the city center (known as Old Town) and the Royal Route when I was looking for food, and it turned out that my favorite restaurants are a bit on the outskirts. Łazienki Park was also beautiful.
Posted: August 8, 2023Warsaw was a beautiful place to be. It was very safe and friendly. I liked the old town, many performances in the evenings. This is particularly influential because, like many things in Warsaw, it was completely rebuilt after being bombed into oblivion during World War II. The Polish people are amazing. I liked the food, gardens and music.
Posted: June 11, 2023Inside Warsaw, I liked the Palace of Culture (city view), the Museum of Resistance Movement and the Palace Gardens, which are next to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The mermaid statue was also charming. The old town and the Warsaw zoo were also wonderful.
Posted: May 22, 2023I stayed in Warsaw for 3 days in November. I took advantage of the free city tour and highly recommend it. The weather was sometimes a bit rainy, but it's so beautiful there in the fall, and there is also a huge park that I really liked. Great dining options too! I enjoyed my stay there and felt safe at all times. I even went out after dark. Uber was also very cheap.

Warsaw it's cleary a location you must see. I was amazed by the arhitecture of the Old Town. I only stayed there for 2 days but I'm sure I will return because I believe I haven't seen all.

Warsaw is one of the safest cities I have been to. I live here since 2017 and nothing ever has happened to me. I also don’t recall any incidents happening to my friends. The only discomfort I experience from time to time are drunken people in public communication. They are noisy sometimes and might seem aggressive, so I warn to avoid them. Move to the other side of a bus and you should be fine. Sometimes drunken people might approach you to try to lend some money, just say no and leave them alone.
Posted: July 22, 2024Warsaw is generally a safe city to be as a female solo traveller. By night it is rather safe to walk alone, however it is better to avoid some districts, like Praga and always pay attention to your surroundings. I have been living and Warsaw my whole life and the majority of time I feel perfectly safe.

Warsaw is a great place for people with love for huge cities and capitals who also don’t want to spend a lot of money. Poland is really cheap comparing to other countries of Europe and is not that much popular, so you don’t have to worry for crowds of tourists. We have a lot of historical places and palaces, so if you are interested in history (especially ww2) it’s a great place for you

I'm from Warsaw and in my opinion it is a really safe city. I've never been hurt or robbed here. When I go for walks in the evening, of course I feel a little anxious, but I always get home safely. There are always a lot of people in the center and everyone is helpful. The capital of Poland and the whole of Poland are really safe places that I really recommend visiting and seeing because they have amazing history and beautiful landscapes.
Posted: June 27, 2024I am from Warsaw and I recommend visiting the following places: Warsaw Uprising Museum, Wilanów Palace, Palace of Culture and Science (you can go up to the terrace on the 30th floor), Royal Castle, Old Town, New Town, Krakowskie Przedmieście street (or the entire Royal Route), Łazienki Park, Copernicus Science Center, POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews, Fryderyk Chopin Museum. It's also nice to stroll along the Vistula River, where there are cafes, bars and a beach. Water taxis are free. I also recommend visiting the Botanical Garden in Powsin (it's not far from Warsaw, you can get there by bus). You must go to Zapiecek for pierogi, or visit cafes where you get a free breakfast with the purchase of coffee (I recommend MOMU, which is near the Ratusz Arsenał metro station). You should try our zapiekanka - it's kind of a large sandwich. You can also visit the Wedel factory or other cafes.

Hi! My name is Dominika, or Nika for short. I love to dream about travels and sometimes I actually do them too. Right now I'm studying psychology while volunteering in journalism and practicing my creative writing skills, so I'm really not sure where my future will take me. I'm always open to new experiences, cultures, hobbies, foods, etc. Learning new stuff is what life is really about for me :)
