Life / Warsaw or Wroclaw - for better cost of living? [19]

Merged: Warsaw vs. Wroclaw

Hello Polish Forumers,
single, banking professional, in the 40s, driver/biker, normal lifestyle i.e. still like to eat out and party every now and then.

From both social and economic perspectives, I am just curious to know Which city you Would choose on a gross salary of 22k or 16k PLN gross per month, respectively. Obviously, I would expect Warsaw to be the more expensive one.

I would appreciate if you, locals or experienced expats in Poland, could share your point of view.

Many thanks.
BR, Brad

Life / Warsaw or Wroclaw - for better cost of living? [19]

Hi Majkel,

thank you. The feedback from an insider like you is very much appreciated indeed.

What you say makes full sense as the same happens in many countries. I just made comparisons on Numbeo and results show that "You would need around 8,072.10zł in Warsaw to maintain the same standard of life that you can have with 7,300.00zł in Cracow/Wroclaw (assuming you rent in both cities).".

Actually, I thought the difference was more than that.

numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Poland&country2=Poland&city1=Wroclaw&city2=Warsaw
numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?country1=Poland&country2=Poland&city1=Krakow+%28Cracow%29&city2=Warsaw

However I do not know whether Numbeo prices are reliable, sometimes they aren't.

Now I know two place I should pay visit: Cracow and Poznan! :)

And wish you and your dears a Happy Easter.

Brad
