Field notes

Poland's third city, 90 minutes from Warsaw by train — former textile-industry capital with serious 19th-century factory architecture being converted into culture-and-residential spaces (Manufaktura is the flagship example). Piotrkowska Street is the central walkable spine. Same Schengen / Poland Business Harbour situation as Warsaw. Rents are 30–40% below Warsaw for similar quality.

Same Polish continental pattern as Warsaw — basically identical climate (Łódź is 130km southwest, on the same plain). Cold snowy winters, warm summers (peak 19°C), short shoulders. Best window May–August.
