How safe is Krakow for a single girl ?

I would really appreciate if you could enlighten me about it. And I am expecting genuine replies. Thank you

Impossible to answer as there's about 755,546 people in Krakow at any given time and about half of them are girls...

Yes, you should expect rape and/or mugging any time, 24/7 actually;]

How serious are you by asking this?
Krakow is no different than any other average city. It is safe. Just apply normal safety measures i.e. locking your door and avoiding fishy backstreets during night. If it helps you, carry some mace/pepper spray in your bag. I really don't know how else to answer that.

This is a joke thread.

C'mon way too high-tech for Krakow, completely disjointed from the city's medieval charm. You should be carrying a proper chain mace with spikes.

It isn't... it's much safer to go out at night as a double act...

It's really unsafe. You have to watch your every step. Around the square sometimes there could be people!!!! The pigeons are famous for head butting single girls. At night the local mafia patrol the streets hunting for single women to throw them into their brothel houses!!! On trams they will use gas to intoxicate the single girls, they will then bag them (and not in the t-bagging way) and keep them stored in dumper buckets!!

That's what I carry, but it deforms pockets:D. But for a girl - a chastity belt and a musket could be better...


Stray people!


Ever watched Midnight Meat Train? It was a true story than happend in Krakow suburban night tram line! :D

She should just watch out for spiked drinks. I live in a different city and I walk alone at nights. Nothing bad happened to me yet but I can't guarantee you the same.

Dun dun DUN!!!!!!!


And some of them are drunk!!!!!

just avoid the Stag parties and act like you would in any european city that you dont know intimatley.
Only get in well marked taxis either at the ranks or ordered from your hotel that sort of basic stuff really.
Of course,I havent been for 4 years so it may well now be over run with Moscow people traffickers and lesbian vampyres,but,well,I doubt it ;)

Hmmmmmmmm have we met?

depends how good looking you are.

Aye, cos the ugly ones get a wide berth!

you'll be just fine...

The larger cities (like Krakow) are generally safer, it's those smaller cities and villages where just about everyone knows each other they start with outsiders. But you're a girl you'll be fine.

if you remember jojospacemonkey(?),previously telfonitka(?sp) I think that was her last screen name,and knew her,maybe we have......:)

thats not as nudge nudge as it may look lol ;)

Hmmm, another female with a 'victim mentality'. It's a shame that our societies constantly reinforce this and it's an equal shame that so many people buy into it.

says the person never likely to be a victim of sexual assualt.....

Squeek piggy squeeek.....*strums banjo*

This is Zimmy..... the guy who has been raped by his missus many a time :/

Just admit you're a female. Don't be ashamed of it.


Just saw "Deliverance" two days ago ; first time in many years. Forgot how good that movie was/is.


The current miss can't help it. I'm addictive.

They stare at colored people there...

Why aren't you using your regular screen name?

All polish cities are very safe.In Berlin I was almost shot,in Ukraine robbed,in Turkey given fraud money and in Denmark repeatedly mocked by the local asses but in Poland,Slovakia,CR nothing happened except some pushing over girls.(in Poland).Appearance plays a major role and understanding of local language.

It is interesting that Poles stare at you if you don't look like them.I took it as a sign of honor a privilege especially women stare rather a lot.

If you are white then any Polish city is safer than let's say... London, Birmingham, Manchester, Antwerp, Brussels, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Paris, Marseille, Malmö, Stockholm, Oslo, Johannesburg, New York, Detroit, etc.

Guess why?

Have you only got one theme ? Stop flaming and trolling.

Have you ever seen him talk about anything else. Must be why he is single ;)

what is this nonsense?
I feel wayyyyy safer in Brixton, London, than I have done on one or two memorable occasions in small town (and city) Poland...(no offence meant to anyone except to obsessed Jarnowa) and BTW yes I am white..:)

I'm not flaming, i'm realistic.

@rozumiemnic (what's in a name!)
Did you know last year there were 500 extra rapes in London? And that London has FOUR rape crisis centers?

I regularly check Polish news in English and i never read about rapes in Polish cities.

So who is more realistic, you or me?

link?? references??
Or making stuff up again?
You should stop projecting your fantasies and obsessions onto this forum...
