Here is a link that may help you work out what you need to look out for/watch out for when you go to Poland, this link is from the FCO (foreign Commonwealth Office) It will give you all the information you are looking for

WELCOME TO HELL, BE WARNED, THIEVES, LIARS, CHEATS, NOT TO MENTION THE CUT-THROATS AND HIGHWAY ROBBERS.

YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE COMES TRUE.

BETTER OFF VISITING AFGHANISTAN.

BELIEVE ME.

I don't know, I've been to both. Poland is one of the safer places on this little planet of ours.

Petty theft is a small problem, violent crime isn't. I've had stuff stolen off of my car at night, but never anything else. No pickpockets, no burglaries, never been mugged, no highway robberies. I think most of the criminals have now been relocated to Poczta Polska sorting centers.

The titles of the threads on this forum make me lose hope in mankind.

"Is it safe to travel to Poland"...
Since when is Poland Pakistan or North Korea or Irak?

in some ignorant people's minds it is BB. You can see it very well on this forum, I mean the ignorance.

Another stupid thread "Why do Poles choose to die instead of going back home" - no comments on that one....

Most threads containing the prefix "pol" in their titles are destined to fail.

No! The scary monsters that hide around every corner will suck your blood till you faint.
Also "Polish People" like to lick the back of your thighs in order to get some warmth during the winter season.

I had to pay my own way, but I understand that you do get a free trip if you sign up for the army.

Besides the free trip; think of the adventure, the experience you’ll gain, the thrill. Nice desert scenery or High Mountains if you prefer, unspoiled wilderness with occasional firework display. Wonderful architecture except for the areas you previously visited. VIP treatment (always traveling in convoy) there’s no need to be afraid of those pesky highway robbers. The thieves, liars and cheats; nothing to worry about (no one will fvck with you) after all you will carry a gun curtsey of your travel agent (complimentary). The accommodations to die for, friendly staff and the locals always ready to guide you entertain you and surprise you. Never a dull moment, three square meals a day and wakeup call service. All in all; action packed adventure in all inclusive resort with like minded individuals, daily excursions, helicopter tours and other attractions for those who are willing to experience the great outdoors. If you sign up today you’ll be able to stay at all of our resorts in the area.

At least that’s what I got out of it, how about you?

If you're going to pray for him, you should also pray for the millions of babies that are eaten all across poland. Why do you think the birth rate is so low, yet there are so many pregnant women? Only one explanation.

Unfortunately I didn't manage to get in on the package deal. I've heard really great things, especially regarding the cultural exchanges.

I hear that they are having to close some of the resort destinations, though I understand that may change in 2012 if the company gets a new ceo. If they start offering trips to Persepolis, I'll be first in line.

In every country there are impoverished, 'unsafe' areas. For the tourist it's important that there are places he/she knows about that are safe to walk around, even in the evenings. I don't know where they are any more, but pointing them out would be much more useful HERE than arguing about statistics.

Either your visits aint long enough when in Poland or your friends cover the truth from you very well.

Petty crime ?

Of course. I always travel on my own and never ever has anything nasty happened to me.

Lookie here, I am carrying a piece of wood for my own campfire. Very often Polish locals help me carry those heavy logs. They never try to rob me of this wood.

I guess I'm fooling myself seeing as I've lived here off and on for the last 5 years (latest stint has been a year and a half). Things are great in my fantasy world. I've had parts stolen off my car, that's it. What happened to you here that traumatized you so badly?

This place is like candyland.

Difference is, that's about as high as crime goes here. Compare this to America, where you just wouldn't walk in certain areas. Heck, people get killed in casino car parks in America!

America is more dangerous...in spots...and if you ever been to Florida, you'd know cars get stolen and shipped off to Latin America.

So, are there parts of Warsaw/Krakow you would not stroll around in the evening? If so, where and why?

Warsaw

Some parts of Praga (which were once called "the Bermuda Triangle" with the highest crime rate in Warsaw). Recently I've heard that some new clubs etc. have been installed here, and have become very popular. But be careful.

f stop:
Krakow

Nowa Huta is the classic place most people in Poland know about.


One should watch out for criminal gangs that think these places are their neighborhood.
