Thinking of Retiring to Wroclaw

hey timberwolf - retiring to anywhere in Poland is a great idea. Wroclaw is a fantastic city + close to basically all of Europe so easy to take short trips from here as well. I couldn't wait to get here as fast as I could from texas :) 4.9 years now and counting. . .

I would say don't retire to Wroclaw, or at least not without giving it a fairly detailed test before you do! Attractive city perhaps, but NOT a welcoming one for non-Polish visitors!

Hi, i live in Woclaw almost 30 years. Im Polish. Do not choose Wroclaw. Think about other city for example Karpacz( mountains). Wroc³aw is loud and dirty city i do not like it. Best wishes M

So it seems that even a long term Polish resident does not rate Wroclaw highly ...............now Karpacz, that's another place altogether, but you need to like snow and skiing in Winter!

To avoid any unpleasant suprises: Wroclaw is not the captital of Kopenhagen.

I stay some weeks now and then in W-law because it is a nice place and cost of living is low. People are very friendly to foreiners, like as you are a vip person compared to the residents. Problem is the language, it is really hard to learn...
