Moving to Warsaw – International Relocation

Moving to Warsaw

Warsaw or Warszawa is Poland’s capital and largest city. It has a high standard of living, complete with all the modern amenities for a satisfied citizen.

The city of Warsaw is truly an unforgettable destination for tourists.

The Old Market Square in Warsaw Poland

Skyscrapers shoot upwards as Warsaw’s economic status rises and the city continues to gather foreign investors. With a fine location, Warsaw is blessed with the Vistula River flowing through the city.

Having signed the Schengen Agreement and the EU, it is convenient for travellers to travel in and out of Warsaw as well as experience local transit provided with style.

As the historical areas of Warsaw give air of its celebrated past, the developing plans and constructions of modern institutions mark Warsaw as one of the world’s prime cities.

The city suffered massive destruction during World War II. About 85 percent of the 700-year-old city was bombed or razed by the Nazis in retaliation for the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising and the Warsaw Uprising; it was subsequently rebuilt under communism.

The resulting cinderblock buildings dominate the few pre war buildings that escaped destruction. The Palace of Culture and Science is one of the main features of the Warsaw skyline.

A pleasant relief to the shades of grey, however is one of the wonders of the modern world: the city’s Old Town or Stare Miasto. Recreated from photographs, drawings, and paintings the ochre, faded rose, and stained gray buildings surrounding the cobblestone Market Square, Rynek, can easily be mistaken for the historical originals.

Today Warsaw is Poland’s scientific and cultural centre. Somewhat overcrowded the city struggles to accommodate its people and the motor traffic on its roads.

Local residents are cosmopolitan and fashionably dressed; outdoor cafés are crowded in the summer; flower vendors are along the streets; and street musicians serenade with a variety of styles.

The cost of accommodation

The cost of accommodation in Poland is extremely variable, but for the most part, flats closest to the main square in any Polish city – big or small – will always be the most expensive.

Healthcare in Warsaw

Expats will find both public and private healthcare in Poland. Most Polish citizens use a combination of both, and expats will want to make sure they have some degree of private insurance, as costs associated with these services can become expensive if paying out-of-pocket.

Furthermore, Poland contributes one of the lowest percentages of their GDP to maintaining the public health system; an indication of the future state of things to come, perhaps.

Facilities and treatment are generally better in the larger cities, and emergency services may suffer in the more rural areas. Furthermore, Poland has a smaller number of doctors than many countries with a similar population size, and these individuals are usually located in the metropolises.
