Krakow a safe and friendly city for foreigners? Read this! [161]
Hello, i am new to this forums.
I am a tourist to Poland and i was in Krakow in 2006 and i liked it so i came back. I thought Krakow is safe city.
But last night something bad happened to people from my hostel! Last night a group of 4 guys went to some bars. Around 3 o clock, they decided to walk back to their hostel (also in the center). They were still on the central market when suddenly 2 of them were attacked from behind by a big group. They were severely hit on their heads with bottles!
They had to run all the way to the hostel, followed by their attackers. They made it to the hostel, so their attackers left. But the 2 guys needed to go to hospital. They stopped a cab, but because of the blood on their faces, the cab driver refused to take them. Later another one took them to hospital. The nurses were rude and refused to talk English and said that they should talk in Polish.
They also told me that there was police on the market and when they saw the action, they just looked and didn't do anything to stop the attackers! Did they have bad luck or do these things happen a lot in Poland?
