Despite them being a EU member state, they don’t use Euro as their official currency. Since they have their own currency being the Zloty which is considered stable, but even if you have Euros or US Dollars for converting to Zloty: does purchasing power hold up since both Euro & US Dollar possesses a higher rate? I figure that Warsaw will be expensive due to it being the capital, so that is expected.
I’m doing a cycle tour in Poland this year. I picked it because it was cheaper than any cycle tour anywhere else in Europe, even with half board.
It’s also flat. And I mean really flat. Mountains are just at the south and the rest is flatland to the point it feels kind of overwhelming for the lack of better word for me coming from hilly landscape.
I’m cycling in the south, in the hilly bit, but along a river.
I, too, come from a hilly landscape (the Black Forest). I live there anyway, I’m from a flat country. I love flat landscapes and big skies.
I also grew up in a mountainous valley and am unsettled by distant flat horizons.
