Krakow - Post Report Question and Answers
Is this a good city for single people? For couples? For families? Why or why not?
Except for finding childcare from 0-2.5 years, and knowing the school is far away from housing (I promise the Consulate has tried to rent stuff closer but the options just aren't there), this is a dream family post. - Jun 2024

I think this is a good post for most people. - Mar 2014
After hearing lots of opinions, I believe it's a good city for all. It's a true family-friendly city; there are endless activities for kids. At the same time, I have heard that it's a paradise for singles. You can go out every night. - Apr 2013
I think this city is a good place for all. I'm surprised at the comments regarding children not being tolerated in Poland. I found just the opposite. Well-behaved children are very much welcomed. - Sep 2011
This is a great city for singles and couples. Lots of restaurants, bars, concerts, etc. It is more difficult for families, as most family activities and almost all cultural activities are in Polish. Because it is not a family tourist destination, most restaurants in the city center are not family friendly, but a few in the neighborhood of consulate families are making steps to becoming more family friendly. You will see very few Polish kids out and about at grocery stores or in town. As Americans, we have been told to get our kids out of the grocery stores because they are in the way of the old grannies there. Polish grandparents take care of the kids while the parents work, so you will not see too many family outings. Kids, if they are in pubic, are to be quiet so as not to disturb the peace. - Aug 2011
