Where to stay
There are many different options for finding an accommodation in Poland. They vary depending on the city, on the location of the apartment as well as the size and quality of the house and of the furniture. The highest rents are in Warsaw and other large cities such as Gdańsk, Kraków and Wrocław.
Adverts of flats to rent or purchase can be found in newspapers and on the Internet. Accommodation can also be found by placing own adverts in newspapers and Internet portals or through a real estate agent. In this case, expenses related to looking for a flat will be increased by the commission paid to the real estate agent.
When moving to Poland you have to consider that you’ll need to obtain your PESEL number. This number acts as an identification code and you’ll find it useful in all sorts of situations. When you register your new residence with your local township office, you automatically get assigned a PESEL number.
