Krakow

Kraków is a city in Poland that combines history and modern life. Visitors may find it affordable, with meals costing around $4 and apartments for under €600. While many enjoy the Old Town’s cobblestone streets, neighborhoods like Podgórze and Kazimierz offer local food and various restaurants. Getting around is easy, whether you walk, bike, or take the tram. The city is mostly safe, with friendly locals who speak English and are willing to help, making it simple for newcomers to adjust.
