The city I fell in love with. Perfect mixture of historical architecture and modernity, quietness and night life, city and nature. I felt 100% safe and it was so surprising to see that even homeless people spoke English and were respectful in asking for money😂

Hiii, so I was in Wrocław last week to celeberate my birthday! It was perry safe, I didnt have any troubles. Only some homless guys was asking me for cigs and stuff. I didnt explore a lot, cuz I went there to hang out with my long distance friends, but I would really recommend a caffe Seoul 97:). I ordered a banana matcha and it was amazing. Well, I spent a lot of money, exspecially for food, but I think it was worth it.:)

Wroclaw is a very safe city filled with colors and lots of really nice places. I didn’t feel observed or anything like that at any time, the polish are very respectful, a bit cold harder but that’s all. I didn’t see or heard anything about robbery and stuff like that.

Loved traveling solo to Wrocław! - first solo travel trip, felt very safe - didn’t experience night life but had long days in the Summer - stayed at Korona Hotel Market Square right in the middle of Old Town (~$60/night) - walkable everywhere - public transit very easy to the train and airport using google maps - most people spoke at least a little English - went to the markets in the old town every morning (local vendors selling things until 12pm) - INCREDIBLE pierogi place right under the hotel - spent 4 days, 3 nights and had plenty to do just walking around

Wrocław is a beautiful city. I was there in July and I really liked it. I regret not spending more time there. I highly recommend visiting Ostrów Tumski, the Main Market Square, and the Panorama of the Battle of Racławice Museum and eating at the Milk Bar (delicious food). It's a very underrated city.

I loved Wroclaw. Honestly, my favorite thing was just walking around. I recommend paying attention to the dwarf statues during the walk. Cathedral Island was beautiful and definitely worth a visit. The Wrocław University Museum was really worth visiting, as well as the panorama museum - I am not a war history enthusiast, but the panoramic museum really moved me.

I was in Wrocław for three days and felt very safe there. I really recommend the Old Town and searching for dwarfs, visiting the Racławice Panorama, eating at any restaurant in the Solny Square, stopping by in the Aula Leopoldina, Marianum Oratory, and the meridian line.

Wrocław is very safe, I have never had any of the above mentioned problems and I have never heard from anyone that something like this happened. In every city you have to be careful and cautious but there is no reason to worry more.
