Life / Student from Denmark, wanting to know about Poland's culture and how it is to live in Warsaw [21]

While it is true that some racism still lingers in Poland, it is more common in small towns and villages and since you're coming to the capital, you shouldn't experience any problems with that. Then again, I'd kinda sorta discourage you from going to the Southern Praga district (eastern bank of Vistula), things can get pretty dangerous there, even for people who don't stand out from the crowd. I've lived in Warsaw for 3 years now and I'm still a bit scared of going there.

But apart from that Warsaw is a very open city and you will surely enjoy your time here. Try to use as many Polish phrases as posible, Poles find it absolutely endearing when you try to speak Polish :)

Travel / Gdańsk to Kraków - fastest by train/bus? [6]

the best way is probably by train, you can also choose to travel by bus, but it will take much more time and is less comfortable (no place to stretch your legs etc.)

you can check the timetable on the PKP website (rozklad-pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en) and if you want to buy tickets in advance you can do it here: escape2poland.co.uk/gdansk-krakow-train.html

Travel / Whats the cheapest way to get around Poland... train or bus? [25]

Merged: Train travel in Poland is cheaper than bus

Hi there, I recently found a great website where you can book tickets for Polish trains and I thought I'd share it with you. I used to be quite hesistant about travelling by trains due to their bad fame in Poland, but turns out it's just a myth and honestly right now I prefer train to any other means of public transport :)

So, there's the website: escape2poland.co.uk/warsaw_lodz_train_connection.html Hope you'll like it!!!
