Field notes
Western-Poland trade-fair city anchored by Adam Mickiewicz University. Stary Rynek and Jeżyce are the dense walkable cores. Same Schengen-only story as Warsaw — no Polish DNV. Roughly 15–20% cheaper than Warsaw for similar quality of life. Excellent rail to Berlin (under 3 hours). Continental humid climate — real four seasons.
