Moving from Kraków to Dąbrowa Górnicza - what is it like to live there?
Hi! My wife and I are considering moving from Kraków to Dąbrowa Górnicza, and we would love to hear from people who currently live there, used to live there, or grew up there. What is everyday life in Dąbrowa Górnicza actually like? We currently live right in the centre of Kraków, so we are fully aware that, in terms of restaurants, cafés, nightlife and the general number of things to do, the move could be seen as a bit of a “downgrade”. On the other hand, we are 32 and 33 and are at a slightly different stage of life now. We used to go out a lot - to restaurants, brunch places, specialty coffee shops and various events - but these days we do that much less often. We are not really into partying, we do not go clubbing, and we increasingly value peace and quiet, more space and being close to nature. We would like to swap our smaller apartment in a Kraków tenement building for a larger house with a garden. We have found a property near Pogoria, and we really like the idea of being close to the lakes, green spaces, parks and cycling routes. We both work remotely and are also planning to start a family in the near future, so we are looking for somewhere better suited to a quieter lifestyle rather than making the most of big-city attractions. We would be very grateful for honest opinions about Dąbrowa Górnicza, especially the areas around Pogoria. What is day-to-day life like there? How would you rate safety, the neighbourhood, public transport, air quality, traffic and access to shops, doctors, schools and nurseries? Are there any things that might surprise someone moving there from Kraków - either positively or negatively? submitted by /u/matizcd [link] [komentarze]
