Compared to other Canadian cities rent is affordable but it's unfortunately such a depressive place to live, due to the harsh and long winters. You get about 2-3 months of fantastic weather, and between 5-8 months of absolutely oppressive cold. It has some decent local culture for its size, but a distinct lack of fun nightlife. Public transit is absolutely horrendous. People can be a bit close-minded. Quality of life is otherwise comparable to other big NA cities. Taxes are on the low side. It's very out of the way - there's no real reason to come here as a tourist because Calgary is closer to everything interesting.

Cons of Living in Poznan
Not much to do Cold now Gets cold in the winter Very damp now Not many Nomad List members go here Difficult to make friends Not safe for women Not family friendly Hostile towards LGBTQ+ Many people smoke tobacco -
Good nightlife a lot of young people too. Cozy old town center. Avoid clubs with credit card scams, avoid any invites to extravagant clubs

Was recently in POZNAN and saw there was a huge pro-abortion movement in the old town + outer parts of it. My first impression was that the city ressembles a lot with PRAGUE and WARSAW. Hills + big squares with covered tram tracks. The pedestrian area is really nice. 1 or 2 days would be enough to check the city.

Not safe for women? I feel very safe here and walk late at night from the train station. Like any town there are the gypsies and drunks but no, no real problems.
