Poland, with a mere 18 mentions of pickpocketing on website reviews per one million visitors as of April 2024, knocks the socks off of other European destinations.
Poland suffers from such infrequent pickpocketing in part because it just isn't as popular of a destination. Notable cities to visit include Warsaw, Kraków, and Gdańsk.
Kraków offers classic Medieval European elegance with far less risk of losing your possessions. The magnificent Rynek Główny market square dominates the center of town.
Additionally, Poland's Baltic beaches in places like Sopot, Gdańsk, and Świnoujście are far safer than Spain's Costa del Sol, and are genuine hidden gems.
