Is Poland safe for non white women to visit?

Is Poland sfe for non white WOMEN to go to? What about Russia? I'm a non white woman and I want to visit both nations. What's the real deal about those places? Be honest.

Hi, I don't think you should worry about Poland. Never been to Russia, so I am not going to give any advice. Some people in Poland would probably think you question is a bit strange (I mean, you may have a bad day even if you are white). I cannot see any risk in Poland, generally non white people are not a subject of any offence.

as long as you dont mind being stared at, but then anyone is liable to get stared at anyway esp if you are speaking a different language.

You should be all right, just watch out for polar bears roaming the streets.

99% yes.


From what I understand, while Russia most certainly has a much worse problem with racists than Poland has, for you it is going to be safer. The reason for that is that Russian racists are a lot more 'macho' than Polish racists and they see violence against women as something 'unmanly', so while they will be racist towards you, they won't be violent to you. The same used to be true in Poland but over the last couple of years there have been racist attacks (physical attacks) on women here.

Poland is becoming more European.

Generally, yes. As long as you avoid drunks, which is a lot easier to do in Poland than in Russia.
