Safe travel

Gdańsk is one of the safest cities in Poland, but as everywhere, it is worth keeping common sense. Here are some tips to help you explore the city safely.

  • Old Town and Main City: This is the heart of Gdańsk, featuring the most important landmarks such as the Neptune Fountain, Długa Street, and St. Mary's Basilica. These districts are safe, even in the evening, but it is always advisable to watch out for pickpockets in crowded places.
  • Oliwa: A quiet district with a beautiful park and cathedral. Perfect for a relaxing walk.
  • Wrzeszcz: A trendy district with atmospheric cafes and shops. Safe, but it's better to avoid less-lit alleys in the evening.
  • Industrial and peripheral districts: Some areas, such as Orunia or Nowy Port, may be less safe, especially after dark. If you plan a trip there, it's better to go during the day.
  • Abandoned buildings and areas: Gdańsk has several abandoned places that may attract urbex enthusiasts, but it's better to avoid them, especially alone.

Gdańsk has a well-developed public transport network, including trams and buses. They are safe, but in the evening it is advisable to choose main lines and avoid empty stops. If you return late, consider using a taxi or Uber.

Gdańsk is beautiful at any time of day, but if you plan an evening walk, stick to well-lit and frequented places such as the Motława waterfront or Długa Street. Avoid walking alone in parks or lesser-known neighborhoods.

Always carry only essential documents and cash with you. Leave the rest in the hostel safe. Hostel Szafarnia 10 offers secure storage for valuables, which is especially important for solo travelers.
