Try Poznań, Gdańsk, Wrocław out of the bigger cities or some of the smaller ones in the south. Rzeszów is a fine city by itself but it's a great base for visiting Tarnów, Przemyśl, Sanok, Zamość, Lwów (right behind the Ukrainian border), Solina lake, Bieszczady Mountains and so on.

    I have been going to Warsaw about twice a year for almost 20 years. I have never had any issues with crime- at all. It is a big city, so exercise common sense, but it is really pretty safe. It is gray- especially in the winter months. But Warsaw (and Poland in general) is a wonderful place, with terrific people, great things to see in the cities and also the countryside. I love the food and it is friendly.

The only word it could be technically mistaken for is "prosię" (a piglet), but the chance of someone misunderstanding "dwa piwa prosim" ("two beers X") as "two beers piglet" is abysmally low.

    @@Bards.98 Go visit Poland. It's beautiful, but living there? IDK about that, maybe for a few months, tops. Or if you had a job based out of the States, where you get paid in US dollars. Otherwise, too expensive on Polish salary. That's why you see tons of tourists, especially English speaking. The British pound and the US dollar are strong currencies and you get to buy a lot, so it seems cheap to us tourists. You don't see many cars on the roads or highways as other countries. One US gallon of gas (3.78 liters) is about $6.50-$7 a gallon, equivalent. On weekends, it's pretty quiet, even in major cities on the roads as people walk and bike a lot. Public transit is cheaper than owning a vehicle. In Warsaw, there's practically no free parking, like most Polish cities, everywhere you go you must pay parking and parking is limited. If you ever go and fly into Warsaw Chopin Airport. There's no parking permitted anywhere outside, only for taxis. You have to go across the street to the parking garage. It's so tight in there, good luck squeezing a vehicle (rental car) out of there. PITA! But it is a beautiful country to visit. People are very friendly and food is delicious (cheap).

I wouldn't agree. I haven't heard about someone, who lost his money, unless it was a night bus, the person was totally drunk and even then I know maybe 1-2 cases (maybe it wasn't even "pickpocketing", but simply the wallet has been dropped by the drunk owner).

    I understand thinking the city is spread out dealing with kids but to me everything was quite compact and walkable. I stayed at the Marriott near central station. To the west, the Uprising Museum was a 30 minute walk. To the east, the river was 30 minutes. To the north, Old Town was less than 30 minutes. To the south, Belvedere Palace was, yup, 30 minutes. And of course all the museums, parks, squares, markets, restos, etc. were within that radius with the single exception being Wilanow Palace. Just don't base in Old Town and Warsaw is super easy to walk. 👍 And yes, Stalin's "gift" to Warsaw is drab by day but really quite beautiful at night.

The buses are the rooks, generally going along the nearside; the trams are the bishops, squeezing through the gaps in the middle; the knights are the cars that every now & then stop traffic because they need to turn right; & you're the king, because the objective is to keep you alive.

    The old town is looking almost the same as it used to before WW2. Workers were based on documents, paintings and the same technology and materials . The most difficult thing was reconstruction of the royal castle which was completely devastated.

    Very nice summary. You mentioned that we like to hear a few words in polish from tourist. It's true, but I would put it more general: we like to see any sincere sign of respect or appreciation (and learning 2 or 3 words in our language is an example of such kind effort). If You would like to shine, learn one or two things about our golden age in history: something about being a fighting nation (key word: winged hussar, the best cavalry that ever existed), once a local great power, with a spec of romantic/heroic moments. It's maybe cheap, but we like to hear such words of recognition, maybe because we are still having some complexes.

    Hey, nice videos. I live in Warsaw for 38 years and I have never been pick-pocketed and never heard of from my friends. But the caustion videos in public transport are telling about it all the time to be aware of it. Check also the list of top pick pocketing cities in the world. And here the top 10: Barcelona, Spain. Pickpocketing in Barcelona is almost a generally practiced and accepted sport. ... Rome, Italy. ... Prague, Czech Republic. ... Madrid, Spain. ... Paris, France. ... Florence, Italy. ... Buenos Aires, Argentina. ... Amsterdam, Netherlands.

The rental of a flat starts from about 250Eur per month in a bad place and a normal good quality flat is about 450eur. If it comes to prices there are good websites with price comparisons from all around the world.

    Yes, service is not the best but the reason for that is very simple. Pay is ridiculously low, they have to deal with rude customers (it is not uncommon for polish customers to skip on "good day" "thank you" and "please" or complain about prices) and there's often not enough employees so they have to work extra hard to get things done smoothly. We're not grumpy cause we don't like people, but because of our working conditions. I'm speaking from my own experience.

    I was in Warsaw during the holidays in May. It was amazing! The main road in the centre was free of traffic and there were shows in the multi media fountain park every evening and a lot of other street performers everywhere. People were out untill late, even with children. The vibe was just so good. I didn't see any drunk people and felt very safe all the time. I really recommend going to Warsaw in the first week of May. One of my favourite city trips so far :)

    The main difference is that Cracow was not destroyed during WW2 and western side of Warsaw was destroyed in 90%. This means, that in Cracow you will find more old buildings and the architecture is more mixed, while in Warsaw you can see the virtual borders between places rebuit in the old shape, and places completely modernized and changed during communist era. Because of that in Cracow you will also see much more traces of Jewish culture, which in Warsaw were completely erased by nazis. But you can also see both cities, because train from one city to the other goes every 2 or 3 hours and the run lasts only 2,5h.

    @Wolters World I'm surprised you didn't mention the Chopin Monument at Łazienki Park or the Palace at Wilanów. Being from California, I felt safe in Warsaw 99% of the time. The only times this changed was the night of November 11th (look up Polish Independence Day riots) and when I encountered angry, drunk football hooligans. Both of those seemed to attract people who didn't like obvious foreigners. Warsaw is like any other large city, just pay attention to your surroundings and you'll be ok.
