Security in Kraków
With a crime index of around 25 and a safety index of roughly 74–75 (source), Kraków is consistently placed in the top‑ten safest destinations on recent regional surveys. The city feels generally secure by day and night, but visitors are still advised to be alert, as there are some recurring security issues.
Petty Crime and Scams: Pickpocketing and opportunistic theft are the main concerns. Concentrated around the Main Market Square, Floriańska Street, the central train station, and busy trams or night‑time bus routes. Watch out for over‑priced drinks at some bars in the Old Town and Kazimierz and touts offering “private tours” that lead to inflated bills and pressure to pay. Be vigilant about giving out your card details.
Accommodation Security: Opportunistic break‑ins at short‑term rentals or guesthouses do occur, particularly where visitors leave valuables in plain sight. Flats in older tenement buildings and some budget accommodation may have basic locks and shared stairwells, making them more vulnerable.
Nightlife and Alcohol-Related Incidents: Kraków’s nightlife around the Old Town, Kazimierz, and the streets radiating out from the Main Square is lively and generally safe, but alcohol‑related incidents like minor brawls do occur, particularly late at night in narrow alleys and outside popular clubs.
