Holiday in Poland advice? Sights, some photography, look around etc. [4]
I would say that Poland is probably safer than the UK for a girl on her own , but of course there are places and situations where it would not be wise to be on your own...
Travelling with a friend would certainly be a bit safer , and you would have at least one person who spoke your language....
Can,t advise on bus or train , as i have never used them during my five years here , my first time will be next week when i take a bus and train to the airport to fly to UK to collect a car....
I can,t think of any dangers that Poland has that are not the same as any other country....just like in the UK , there are times when being a girl on her own is risky...I have to say that women seem much more happy to walk around on their own at night here than in the UK , but thats in a small town near me where everybody knows everybody , i guess in the cities it might be a bit different...
You will find that many of the younger people speak some English , especially in the towns , might be a bit more tricky in the villages with the older people....
What to see in Poland , thats a tricky one , depends what you are into.... get yourself a book called ROUGH GUIDE TO POLAND.. this has lots of info on what can be seen in all parts of Poland....
If you are visiting the north west of Poland where i live i can tell you about all the good places , and maybe fix you up with a girl of your age that speaks English who can show you around... I was a teacher of English to many girls in the town so it would be good practice for them., and you would have a guide to show you the good bits....
