A blogger, concierge and trip advisor for Cracow called Goodtime Monty filmed an experiment in the centre of the city. He left his backpack around a bench in a crowded part of the main market unattended for 60 minutes to check if anyone would try to steal it. The result seems unbelievable for a modern European city. 

While enjoying his obwarzanki and beer the blogger sat in a nearby restaurant and together with his assistant watched the backpack and people around to check if the city was safe for left luggage. 

You can check the result for yourself:

It seems that despite Cracow’s growing popularity among tourists, it remains very safe for visitors. Even if you leave, forget to collect all your bags on the way.  

In 2022 Cracow was visited by some 8,4 mln tourists from around the world.
