Warsaw
Western salaries, Eastern prices. And the most underrated nightlife in Europe.
Fast-growing, glossy, modern. Warsaw's the Polish equivalent of Berlin 15 years ago. Cheap rent, smart people, brilliant food, and a club scene that runs till sunrise.
Mokotów (the 'Mordor' tech quarter), Wola and the city centre house most multilingual employers. Huge Ukrainian, German, French, Italian and Spanish-speaking communities working in BPO and shared services.
Two metro lines (a third underway), extensive trams, buses and suburban rail (SKM). A monthly pass is around 110 PLN (~€25). Cycling is excellent thanks to Veturilo bike-share and dedicated lanes.
Pawilony in Nowy Świat for cheap drinks in cool courtyards, Praga district for grungy art bars, Smolna and Luzztro for legendary all-night clubs, plus brilliant craft beer at PiwPaw.
Pierogi at Zapiecek, fine dining at Atelier Amaro and Nolita, modern Polish at Der Elefant, and milk bars (bar mleczny) for a €4 lunch that hasn't changed since 1965.
Football at Legia Warsaw, kayaking on the wild Vistula bank, summer beaches on the river, ice skating in winter, hiking the Tatras (4hrs south), and Chopin concerts in Łazienki Park.
