I recently settled there, AMA :) My main reason was proximity of friends and relatives, and super cheap flats. As for the smog, it sucks but it's mostly limited to cold, windless days during winter time (November-March).
So the stories of 80k PLN apartments are true after all? :)
Can you tell me something about Wrocław, or specifically: say I want to spend a few years there and possibly start a family. Which district or part of town should I choose?
Yep, mine was 70k PLN :) I'm in Bytom, in Upper Silesia region and unfortunately I know nothing about living in Wroclaw. I suspect flats there are 3-4x more expensive than what I paid though!
PS. Regarding smog, I was considering leaving the area altogether because of it, but an air purifier turned out to be a life-saver. Now I can have clear air inside the flat and only have to deal with the pollution when outside.
