How Safe Are the Polish Cities?

All:
I'll refer to the newly released Global Peace Index from the Economist Intelligence Unit.
First link mentions Poland as number 27 out of 121 of the World's countries.
- The UK as number 49, so the conclusion is that the UK is a bit more unsafe than Poland.

- And the USA's far behind:

And according to this article, with Reuters as their source, my little Denmark should rank as the 3rd most peaceful country in the world. :-)

That is absolutely right - at least in the east. In the west, quite the same, when talking about cities larger than 350000. But, come to my town in Romania, and see hw you can manage in a disco at night, or in the outskirts (I don1t go out but to a blues club or a bar) and go then to Erlangen, Germany, a town equally large, although with a population of only 150000 (my town has 350000). You`ll feel a HUGE difference - so, you can`t really generalize about ALL the cities - small and medium ones are hugely different when comparing East to West. Capitals are dirtier, more mixed, everywhere, just as large cities. And small cities are boring and still in the west, boring and seroiusly dangerous in the east. Yep...

I think England is more safe than Poland. You can hear some thing about London or Liverpool from time to time but they are ******* big cities. London more than 10 milion i recon with all Polish and other people working there without any documents. So i think on this % of crime all cities in UK are a lot better than places in Poland like Krakow Warsaw or any other (even in small places like Lublin Zamosc or any other at east of Poland are fuckin ruff and im not talking about weekend only). The true is all getting worst and worst. Just wait for time when all youngsters gonna get guns and this ****. Take care. Sorry for any mystakes with writing.;)

Does Wroclaw have a red light district ?

How safe is Poland if your black?

is poland safe for black or brown people ...... like say czestchowa

pick pockets abound around the monastery.

how safe is the area of czestchowa

I personally have been jumped twice in Warsaw and am aware of a number of other cases where friends of mine have been attacked, one case was extremely serious, the guy was given a 15% chance of surviving. I don't think the press like reporting attacks on foreigners and I also think if you are in the ex-pat majority, suits who just go everywhere door-to-door by cab it's easy to think it's safe here. Try the night bus sometime!

I am an Englishwoman and have been living in Poland on my own for over two years. First in Warsaw and now in Gdansk. I have travelled on all froms of public transport visiting many areas. I have also walked home after midnight.

I did have my money stolen once on a tram in Warsaw but have never felt myself to be in any physical danger.

News stories always persent the bad.
