Life / Quality of life in major cities in Poland - cost, culture, work and modernization [11]
Well, I'm not so crazy about the mountains, but it could be nice nonetheless :P same goes for the lakes. How is the weather in these cities btw? Does it differ noticeably? From what I've read Kraków and Wrocław, being southern, should be a tad warmer but I'm not sure how that combines with their elevation or any other factor that might come in to play. Kraków and especially Wrocław are, indeed, more optimally located geographically in terms of being closer to Germany and the Czech Republic while Warsaw is kinda "stuck" in the heart of Poland.
As for the jobs - That little old report does indeed show Mazowieckie kinda has the best salaries, although in the IT jobs for example, both others aren't too far behind, sometimes even surpassing the prior in some terms&jobs.
Wow, I didn't know that :O now that I read about it a little on the internet, it seems that all big 3 are kinda notorious for their polluted air (although Kraków is still far worse than the other two) - makes sense I'd say, but it sure sucks nonetheless :P
Then mazowieckie with Warsaw is 1st, then dolnośląskie with Wrocław 2nd. małopolskie with Kraków 3rd. 4th is śląskie with Gliwice - the part of Katowice metropolitan area. It reflects what I've heard that Warsaw is the best for jobs, then Wrocław and 3rd Kraków.

1 more thought. You entitled this topic "Quality of life", so it's important to add that Kraków has one of the highest air pollution in Europe during winter.
