Hi everyone!
I'm moving from Dublin to Krakow with work in a few months, and was wondering if anyone has any advice on settling in and making friends outside of work.
Thank you!

Hello again!
I think I'll be moving to Krakow in April. My work will be looking after accommodation when I move first, but will be hoping to find a place of my own to rent quite soon. Can anyone recommend areas to look at that are central, and let me know how much I can expect to pay per month in rent (in PLN) for a one bedroom apartment? I know there's a while left before I move, but I want to figure out what my expenses will be so I can plan...
Thank you!

I agree, Hamilton May is a good choice...make sure you ask for Dorota, she is so nice and helpful.
Good luck!!
