Hi everyone! Can anyone recommend a coworking space in Warsaw?

All the WeWorks are very alright

Trying to decide between spending three months in Warsaw or Krakow this winter. I’ll visit both but one will be my main spot. Love historic, charming architecture and easy walkability but also get bored if the dating pool is too small. Krakow seems a little less expensive which is a pro. It also seems like a cozy place to spend the cold winter. Any recs?

have in mind eastern europe winters are pretty cold and dark. I think krakow is small and also more historical. But dating and exploring will be much better in warsaw.

A question worth a long article, but I'd say 80/20 rule is like this:
For dating/networking/career Warsaw
For livability/walkability/charm Krakow

If you're a people person, and new in town, then Warsaw is a better place to be IMO.
I spent 5 winters in Warsaw, and 3 in Krakow. Winters in Krakow are much more tolerable and cuter in general :)

Thank you both! Leaning towards Krakow now! Yeah I’ve heard the winters are gloomy there, but I figure it’ll be cold just about everywhere. I’ve already done Vienna which I loved, but I have some Polish ancestry so I’d rather go to Poland than do Vienna again.

Krakow has also this advantage that is has 1 airport, 20 min train/Uber ride away from the city center. All airlines (standard, and budget) fly from that place, same terminal. So you can escape to sunny destinations on the cheap as often as you want, without wasting half a day to travel to faraway budget airports 🙂

Ahh that’s perfect! I love that kind of accessibility. Thank you for the knowledge!

That will be especially be nice as I’ve been in Turin, Italy and Montenegro this spring and summer and they are both a pain to fly in and out of with very few flights anywhere.

Warsaw has great walkability and cycling infrastructure and far less touristy than Krakow...

What is the best city to live in in Poland between Warsaw, Krakow, Wroclaw and why? Feel free to recommend any city not in this list as well.

I'm thinking about organising one
I am not sure about the exact date yet

Sounds great

Interested in this as well.

Warsaw airport is also 20 min uber from city center. It's just as walkable as Krakow. It's an easy Warsaw for me. Has the historic old town too if you want that vibe, just way more to do here

i’m down for a meetup

uadgroxmet I decided to check out Wrocław as a place to live.

ekppyummdf tell us more about “Wrocław has the best people”. What do you mean and why?

More than 80% of Warsaw was destroyed during WWII so you don’t have much historic architecture. There is some in the Old Town but it’s all reconstructed and feels touristy. Pretty much all of Warsaw walkable, and the dating pool is bigger because its population is 1.7M vs Krakow’s 800K. That said, as a woman, I don’t think you’re likely to run out of matches in any major Polish city.

Good to hear U06UADFFS!

I’m now planning on going to Lisbon for a couple months early 2024 to look for apartments for a DNV there, so I need to stay out of the Schengen zone prior as I’m not sure exactly when the DNV will kick in.

So I will make a trip to Poland another time - and make sure it’s during good weather haha!

Depending on your criteria Poznan and Tricity(Gdansk, Sopot, Gdynia) are options as well.

Poznan is not a super exciting city but with good income levels and good quality of life. In between Berlin and Warsaw, considered the most liberal and welcoming city in Poland together with Warsaw.

Gdansk is a seaside city, beautiful, apparently very nice to live in, but I can't tell that much about it

I am very interested as I want to roadtrip there soon and will stop more in a city that fits best my lifestyle.
I heard Warsaw is like most capitals, didn’t expect Poznan people to be pretentious, why?

I'm from Poznan and haven't heard that stereotype. Some stereotypes say that "poznaniacy" (people from Poznan) are organised and resourceful (due to that part of Poland being occupied by Germany for a long time), maybe bit bland (compared to eg artistic people from Krakow) and more stingy (no idea where this one came from)

Thanks for the feedback. What would you say are the differences between Wroclaw, Poznan or Rzeszow?

Hey, everybody, is our meeting still on?

ufzmbthdqin yes

Rzeszow is a smaller city (~200k people) not far from Slovakia and Ukraine. The only reason people would usually think of it is to travel to nearby mountain range, Bieszczady. I wouldn't consider it unless you're into hiking. Bieszczady are beautiful and worth visiting! Probably cheaper, there is an airport nearby, and recently they got a new highway connecting them to the rest of the country.

Wroclaw and Poznan are both similarish cities that like to compete against each other. Full disclosure I was born in and grew up in Poznan, I know Wroclaw to lesser extend. I would say Wroclaw is more happening city, their city center is beautiful, it's bigger by about 100k people, historically it's been a German city pretty much up till 1945. Poznan has higher salaries and standard of living. Poznans food scene is supposedly better. For tourists I would recommend Wroclaw first. But some of my friends visited Poznan and loved it as well!

fsskzzrqbnm Wrocław it is? :joy:. I’ll be there at the end of October. Already booked my trip.

casmomtfynwutr Thanks very interesting. I’ll be on a roadtrip so probably stop by Wrocław first and then see. I am thinking to skip Warsaw initially. Also, I read that Krakow can have an even higher quantity of tourists just like Warsaw, even if not the capital. Is it true?

hmmm, Krakow might have some high quality tourism, but also an issue with British stag parties

And Warsaw lower quality tourism?

what do you mean by high quality tourism? you need to be more precise here

Yeah, what do you mean by that

fgndiiwvjhj He means that there are a lot of historical places to visit in Krakow. It’s a very popular tourist destination in Poland. Whereas the other cities we are talking about aren’t as much.

My guess would be that Krakow is most visited city, then Warsaw. There is definitely plenty to sightsee in Warsaw. Other cities are likely less known and less popular in terms of number of visits, but doesn't mean less worth of visit. I personally love Gdansk and Wroclaw, but find Krakow bit irritating.

Best place in Krakow to eat Pierogi?

I'm not the biggest Pierogi connoisseur around, but I've had Piergois a couple of times at Gaska restaurant in Stare Podgorze, and the quality was always solid:

I reccomend this one most for pierogi and Polish cusine

For a very short time it’d be fun. Not as touristy as Krakow which I love, personally. Feels more Polish
