How safe is Bialystok?

I'd say Białystok is a pretty safe city, as long as you're not visibly queer. It's infamous for being homophobic and especially late at night (though not exclusively) your appearance may be commented upon. I've never experienced physical assault, although there are neighbourhoods where cliques of people, often very young and/or under the influence, will try to talk to you. Overall - I'd just try my best to blend into the crowd and be reasonably polite.

As a foreigner in Bilaystok only thing I worry about is the people doesnt know english. Some of them gets aggressive very easily because they dont understand you. But all of the reactions are like speaking loudly(sometimes I get offended) and they look at you without any smile, aggressively directly into your eyes. Thats weird for me.

Solo travel experience

It's a very safe place where you can start your first solo trip. If you are a backpacker like me, it's a really cheap destination to begin your travel journey. That's what I was doing - it's my first baby step. I felt very safe, didn't spend too much money, the food is delicious, locals are friendly. I really enjoyed it.
