Is Warsaw safe for solo female travelers?

Warsaw, like most of Poland, is generally safe for solo female travelers. The city is well-lit, the locals are friendly and willing to help, there is a low general crime rate and an effective police force. Appropriate precautions - as you would in your home country like avoiding dark, isolated places at night and keeping an eye on your belongings in crowded spaces, will enhance your safety. However, it's still important to stay cautious, especially at night. Warsaw's safety is boosted by its amazing public transportation system which gives you easy and safe transport options at all times.

Solo travel

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.

Solo travel

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.

I live here my whole live and to be honest I consider it really safe. The safe level that allows to go on a walk in the middle of the night. Of course as everywhere you might meet some suspicious types but they are rather just existing and USUALLY do not approach. Safe travels you all...

I think it’s pretty safe but as everywhere you have to be careful when you’re alone at night somewhere because you never know what people are thinking. But nothing bad ever happend to me. Just know your surroundings.

I live here since I was born. I have never felt unsafe and I have never been in a dangerous situation. Of course you need to be considerate during night time but mainly in the center. I can't imagine anything bad happening durning daytime. Eventually ,,Praga" is a little unsafe but during the day everything should be fine too.

About me

Hiii! I'm extremely bad when it comes to the "about me" section 😄 Recently I've been trying to motivate myself to travel and meet new people. I find it a little bit difficult. For almost 2 years I've been working in a TV corporation and I feel my life sparkle is disappearing. That's why I'm pushing to refind excitement in my life. I would love to meet some amazing people here, exchange experiences or just have a good time
