Krakow gay scene
Safety
Krakow still has a elongated way to go before you could consider it LGBTQ-friendly. Poland is a formerly communist country that missed out on the sexual revolution of the 60s and 70s; the Catholic Church has been a dominant voice on domestic policy for centuries, hence why same sex marriage is still illegal. Violence towards the LGBTQ community is not uncommon unfortunately, so it’s finest to remain discreet and avoid public displays of affection with your other half while you’re in public.
Thankfully things are modifying slowly, in recent years the Polish electorate voted in its first lgbtq+ and transsexual MPs, marking a significant shift in public opinion towards the LGBTQ community. The queer scene in Krakow, Warsaw and Poznan is start to emerge from the underground, while May has been declared ‘Queer Month’ and it was estimated that more than ten thousand people attended Krakow’s Gay Pride event in 2019.

LGBT Friendly Places in Krakow
Poland may get a terrible wrap when it comes to homophobia, but for every primitive moron, you'll find two more evolved legends. What doesn't often create the news is Krakow's huge loved up queer & diverse community. You won't need to look hard to find that this open-minded city is open-armed to people of all shapes, sizes, colours & creeds.
