Field notes
Lower-Silesia capital with a serious tech-services scene (IBM, Nokia, Capgemini all have major centres). Stare Miasto and Nadodrze are the walkable nomad pockets. Same Schengen-only story as Warsaw — no Polish DNV. Roughly 15–20% cheaper than Warsaw for similar quality of life. Excellent international rail (Berlin under 4 hours, Prague under 5). The Old Town squares are among the most beautiful in central Europe. Continental humid climate.
Slightly milder than Warsaw thanks to Lower Silesia's continental position — winters cap at -1°C average, summers peak at 20°C average. Real four seasons with reliable snow in January and February. Best window May through August.
