Długi Targ and the rebuilt old town are postcard-pretty; Polish-German history layers thick from Solidarność to the Hanseatic League. Sopot beaches 20 min by tram. Coworking healthy (Olivia Star, Cluster). Schengen-clock applies — Poland sits inside the 90/180 window. Costs run ~25–30% under Warsaw.

Editorial estimates. Not financial advice. The 4% rule is a planning anchor, not a guarantee — sequence-of-returns risk and tax-jurisdiction friction (US-LLC / FEIE / state residency) can move the real number meaningfully. See our expat tax directory for the cross-border side of the math.
