OK, I'll rephrase to "a lot of other cities in the world" - London, New York, Paris, Warsaw, Berlin, Rome. All of them have their fair share of dodgy places that you should approach cautiously.
What city do you live in, by the way? The only city I know of deservedly with this reputation is Singapore.
- mootothemax 11y ago> Warsaw I'm deliberately singling this one out as a point of pride: Where in Warsaw can't you walk down the street reading your iPhone? I'll concede pickpocketing can be an issue on buses, and racism is very much an issue in present times. Issues with muggings, though?
- blowski 11y agoI didn't get mugged, but I was getting a coach to Radom, and the bus station didn't feel like a crime-free paradise. That said, I've spent quite a bit of time in Poland as well (mostly in Kaszubia), and the only trouble I had was in Krakow (and it was me being stupid that led to it). So no complaints about Warsaw at all, just pointing out that most of the time, I didn't feel any more or less safe in Warsaw than Rio.
