Planning Trip to Poland

Planning Trip to Poland

So I'm planning a trip to Poland sometime next year.

I was wondering how hard it would be to find a place to rent for two months. I was also curious if anybody new a good website for finding a place to rent. Most search results have places with a high daily rate.

I'm also wondering how much Polish I need to know to get by. I plan to rent in a bigger city but rent a car from time to time to check out some of the smaller towns in the country.

One last question is how cheap have you guys been able to book flights for? The best I have seen is $1500 CAD.

Use AirBnB, it has pretty good market penetration within Poland. Prices are pretty reasonable as well.

As for English, most young people are capable of speaking some English. You'll be able to make it with basic survival Polish for the duration. (This being limited to the larger cities, though.)

For flights, about 1500 CAD is the usual that I find (for flights to Warsaw.) You should be able to save some by flying to Berlin and taking the train across the border (only three or so hours away.)

If you happen to live reasonably close to a US airport that might also be a cheaper option.

I just took some arbitrary dates, 21 of October from Toronto to Warsaw, return on 26 of November. The price came out at 820 CAD. How did you get 1500?

1500 CAD still seems too cheap to be in business class.

^^^I was going to say Toronto is the cheapest city in North America to fly to Europe from. I've seen flights to tallin from Toronto for around 450 Canadian dollars all the way into June! So you could fly there or Rome and then take a cheap flight to Poland.

Not in all of North America, all of Canada maybe. Flights to and from New York are typically as cheap as it can get for flights between Europe and North America.

I just used Expedia.ca. This was from Calgary to Warsaw. That was the cheapest and it was rare. Expedia must be expensive. Which website are you using?

On a side note flying to Berlin instead of Warsaw would save $500 through Expedia.

I used a non Canadian site and then recalculated the price into CAD. However expedia.ca seems to show approximately the same price for those days (from Toronto). Calgary is a little bit more expensive.

You can't find cheap tickets to New York and then go from there?

Use google.ca/flights

Fares can be found for less then $1100 CAD all taxes included for pretty much the rest of the year.

Did a quick check with Expedia. Calgary to NY $250. NY to Warsaw $600. Seems like that might be the way to go.

Air transat to London, Amster or Rome. The flight cost one way is only about 250.00-300 off season. Then Ryanair/Whizzair to Warsaw. The whole flight should be less than 500.00 anyways.

For a place to stay, use:

Can easily find a decent place in a 2nd tier city for 300 per month and generally don't need a 1-year lease.

Thanks.

Couple questions. What time of year is off season and what are some good second tier cities?

Off season is generally considered from now until early December and then January-Apr. Nobody likes to go to Poland when it's cold except when they need to (Christmas vacation).

I am not as well traveled as some others on here. But I have been to Bialystok which is excellent. Many people say good things about Wroclaw. Buy Roosh's Bang Poland where he reviews many cities.

But I don't recommend hitting up a 2nd tier city unless you have some traveling experience. I'd say for now stick with Krakow. Sure It's touristy as fuck, but it's really easy to get around, the food is Amazing and most of the Polish people speak English. Spend some time there to familiarize yourself, then try out a 2nd tier city like Bialystok.
