Cracow & Warsaw are the cheapest

The European Backpacker Index for 2013 is here! And it shows where to go to avoid losing all your savings. The authors of the Index have good news for travellers: many hostels or budget hotels have actually gotten a bit cheaper since comparing to 2012.

The cheapest group of cities are bunched together in price, and almost all of them are bunched together geographically in southeastern Europe as well. Krakow continues to feel like the best travel bargain on the Continent, as a charming city where prices almost seem too low, but if you head south you’ll find things to be even a bit cheaper, with longer fair-weather seasons to go along with them.

According to the list, Krakow is 3rd cheapest city in Europe and Warsaw is on 9th place. In Krakow you'll spend only 25 dollars a day and in Warsaw you need approximately 15 dollars more. Drinks, entertainment and attractions included. See the Index here: http://www.priceoftravel.com/1979/european-backpacker-index/

       

Poland by bus

If you are looking for a cheap transport around Poland (and to some cities in Europe) meet Polski Bus. It has appeared in Poland over a year ago and it has immediately gained popularity. Reasons? 1) It's very cheap: price of a single ticket costs you even 1 pln if you make a booking soon enough. 2) There's no need to go to the station, you can buy your ticket through the website (which is often not so easy in Poland) 3) It's comfy, quick and reliable (I have checked it by myself :).
