I spent a week in Warsaw in 2020 (right before the world shut down, to a point where it was not 100% clear I'd be let back in the US), and thought it was an extremely underrated city. As you said, very clean and walkable, and as an American it's really cheap due to the exchange rate.

I go to Poland nearly every year because of Lambda Days, which is in Krakow, though next time I fly over I might take the train over to Warsaw again.



My memory of Warsaw was a very interesting traffic deadlock around a block with two roundabouts in the city centre.

There were simply too many cars around that block so they effectively locked each other up. That was ten years ago though so maybe they fixed it.

A big part of my time there was spent in a taxi.


You mean this one? Nope, still a cluster.

Yes! Most likely. And I probably described it wrong before.

It was probably more the roundabouts combined with traffic lights that caused the mess.

I remember thinking that someone needs to drop a bomb on this place or we'll be stuck forever.


I mean nothing wrong with Krakow either


Krakow is great, one of my favorite cities to visit (and part of what I love about Lambda Days!).


Krakow is amazing and I love it, but pollution levels are not a joke. In winter everything is black with soot.


Fair enough; coming from NYC, Krakow seems comparatively pretty clean and nice :)
