    By all accounts, travel to Poland is considered relatively safe, though you should obviously take the necessary precautions to guard against pickpockets and other common street crimes and scams. You should be fine in most of the major tourist centers, though just be careful when going out at night or if you're traveling alone. Both the U.S. Department of State (http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1000.html) and British Foreign & Commonwealth Office (http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travel-and-living-abroad/travel-advice-by-country/europe/poland) offer country-specific advice about travel to Poland. Honestly, most of the advice pertains to common-sense street smarts than being particular to Poland.
