Poland on a budget? One month.
Posted by ForsakenCanary@reddit | Shoestring | View on Reddit | 10 comments
I am planning a trip through Poland for a month with only 1k-1.2k eur as a budget. Is it feasible? I obviously know it's a small budget and I'll keep that in mind during my trip. My idea is to stay in hostels and cook for myself/eat in bar mleczny/eat kebabs. Anyway, I wouldn't like to feel like I am super money restricted and that if I go out one night I won't be able to eat the next day.
The cities I have in mind are Gdansk, Warszawa, Poznan, Gorzow, Zielona Gora, Wroclaw and Krakow. I'd also like to spend 3-4 days in Belarus, in Minsk and in the village where my ancestors come from.

Its possible and not difficult when you dont choose expensive places to stay. Gdańsk and Warszawa are more expensive than rest od Poland.

Great! Thanks for your answer. What is it about them that makes them more expensive? I've seen there's super cheap hostels (heck, even for 6 eur a night in Gdansk lol) and plenty milk bars there. I plan to spend like 8-10 days total in both those destinations (including day trips to Gdynia and Sopot). It feels like a crime trying to spend less time in those cities, right?

Absolutely go to Warsaw, but one tip I'd give is look up the free days for the museums and palaces. Most of the major museums are Monday through Thursday with the Warsaw Rising Museum on Monday, National Museum Tuesday, Royal Palace and Chopin Wednesday, and the Polin and King Jan's Palace on Thursday.
There's something every single day so you could spend a week in Warsaw and not pay for a single attraction.

unfortunately all nice things come at a price 🥲 if you manage your money well and avoid all the expensive tourist locations you should be fine

Gdansk is awesome and so are its surroundings, lots to see.

I would just check if the others have cheao hostels. Warsaw and Gdansk will but some of the other cities are less popular and might not.

Yup, that's a factor. For example, in Gorzow accommodation is more expensive for that same reason...

Easily doable

I think you can but I was told that Poland is getting more expensive and not like what it used to be.

Pretend you are going next month or January and check out the prices for booking hostels. Add it up. Do the bus or train tickets. Add it up.
