Travel / How much PLN to take with me on my trip to Poland, Wroclaw? [10]

I will not be doing much sight-seeing/buses etc. More of a 'stay' in a small town.

I managed on £1000 for 2 months last time. Just wondering how times may have changed since 2 years ago.

After all, TEFL teachers have to manage on 3000 zloty roughly per month. (According to some people anyway).

I will be cooking mostly by the way. However, I will not be living like a monk for the whole month :)

I have done some reading about this on the net but I love fresh opinions.

I know a Polish family who have to live on 2200pln per month. Grim lifestyle I have to say, with 1 kid too.

Live rates at 2010.07.12 22:22:00 UTC
100.00 GBP = 485.786 PLN
United Kingdom Pounds Poland Zlotych
1 GBP = 4.85786 PLN 1 PLN = 0.205852 GBP

These are the relatively current rates anyway.

I remember when it was 5.5PLN to 1 pound sterling.

Hi guys,

My first thread and post.

Seeing as the average wage in Poland is considered to be 2500 Zloty, how much is needed to stay for 1 month or more?

I've heard stories of 200 zloty per day but this appears extreme to me.

I'm heading for Wroclaw but will be staying in a small town nearby to visit friends.

Either staying with host family or rent a flat 1 month in small town.

Don't smoke, not a 'big spender'.

Insurance/transport to and from Poland aside, how much would be ample as a rough guide given my vague post?

I have £2000 in a E-ISA in addition to £1000 in my graduate account.

My job contract is coming to an end and see this as my last chance to visit before I aim for a long term job/career.
