One of my favourite European cities. Never encountered any problems during my visits. Well worth a visit.

[thcsr]

In every big city in Europe I keep my hand on my wallet in public transport, especially in Paris ;D honestly Poland is very safe comparing to other places in eu

[stacuu]

As a person borned and rised in Warsaw i would add the fact that Warsaw is not as overcrowded and flooded with tourists as for example prague :)

I have been going to Warsaw about twice a year for almost 20 years. I have never had any issues with crime- at all. It is a big city, so exercise common sense, but it is really pretty safe. It is gray- especially in the winter months. But Warsaw (and Poland in general) is a wonderful place, with terrific people, great things to see in the cities and also the countryside. I love the food and it is friendly.

[daniloribeiro]

honestly, Poland in general is a great country to visit. If you haven't been to there yet, shut up and go. ❤️ 🇵🇱

I spent a week in Warsaw this past September. I absolutely loved it. The old town is beautiful. Also, I had great service everywhere we went.

When you are at the bus/train station areas, there may be some beggers asking for change/cigarets, but they are not dangerous and saying it's not safe or there are pickpockets in the public transport... I wouldn't agree. I haven't heard about someone, who lost his money, unless it was a night bus, the person was totally drunk and even then I know maybe 1-2 cases (maybe it wasn't even "pickpocketing", but simply the wallet has been dropped by the drunk owner).

[noodleppoodle]

I would not agree with one of your points. There is no problem with pickpockets in Warsaw, and it is safer around the train station than in most Westen European cities... I would never think twice about letting my camera lie on an outdoor cafe table in Warsaw, but I would probably not do that in a big Italian city

Just back from 9 days in Warsaw - Out til gone 11pm at night, NOT 1 problem, in the pubs and restaurants staff were great, friendly, eager to help. Walking around all over, felt Safe

Warsaw is a beautiful city. I wish people would appreciate the people and culture more. It’s an underrated city.

[tosht]

I understand thinking the city is spread out dealing with kids but to me everything was quite compact and walkable. I stayed at the Marriott near central station. To the west, the Uprising Museum was a 30 minute walk. To the east, the river was 30 minutes. To the north, Old Town was less than 30 minutes. To the south, Belvedere Palace was, yup, 30 minutes. And of course all the museums, parks, squares, markets, restos, etc. were within that radius with the single exception being Wilanow Palace. Just don't base in Old Town and Warsaw is super easy to walk. 👍
And yes, Stalin's "gift" to Warsaw is drab by day but really quite beautiful at night.

we appreciate when turists take time to learn a few polish words because we know it`s a difficult language

[dennisrosenberg]

A great city with a very pleasant, polite and generous people. Hope to visit there soon again.

[MD-vyjb]

Great to see foreigner's perspective on my home city :) Just two things I might want to add. First is, if you love parks, there a quite a lot of them in Warsaw and a lot of trees in general. Second is I want to emphesize that Warsaw is perceived by many as a safe place because it really is. Crime statistics show it as one of the safest cities in Europe.
