Looking at places to solo travel

Is krakow welcoming to foreigners for travel? Would love to hear personal experiences!

If anyone else is considering Krakow feel free to dm!📩

I mean, welcoming is a strong word, polish people are neutral at best and many inhabitants are tired of annoying brits and their drunken rambling all night. But if you happen to have double digits iq, it's cool

I try to be as socially and culturally aware as possible as a traveler.

I'd say it's very welcoming, we have a lot of tourists visiting and expats moving and living here 🙏🏼

I travel to krakow alone at least 7 times a year , met lots of amazing people along the way. It’s such a beautiful and welcoming city ! You’ll be more than fine

No one is bothered by any skin color, just be respectful and you’ll be fine

There was a time when Krakow was a great city for backpackers. That’s long gone. It’s not a friendly city for people with limited funds. If you have money you can walk around in a freaking burqa all you want.
