It's a tourists city so usually all are more expensive than in others parts of Poland. any biggers factories and shops, so the young people often leave when they start work I think thats the more important downside of living here.
The good thing is that the city is spectacularly beautiful. There are a lot of forests and lakes, which the great view and fresh air. Sometimes in the winters it's a little cold here but summers usually are very warm. There are very good conditions to cultivate water sports like kayaking, sailing, swimming.

Kraków, in English also spelled Krakow or Cracow, is one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland and a popular tourist destination. It's historic centre was inscribed on the list of World Heritage Sites as the first of its kind.Situated on the Vistula river (Polish: Wisła) in the Lesser Poland region, the city dates back to the 7th century.Kraków has traditionally been one of the leading centres of Polish academic, cultural and artistic life, and is one of Poland's most important economic centres. It was the capital of Poland from 1038 to 1596, the capital of the Grand Duchy of Kraków from 1846 to 1918, and the capital of Kraków Voivodeship from the 14th century to 1999. It is now the capital of the Lesser Poland Voivodeship. The city has grown from a Stone Age settlement to Poland's second most important city. It began as a hamlet on Wawel Hill, and was already being reported as a busy trading centre of Slavonic Europe in 965. With the emergence of the Second Polish Republic, and throughout the 20th century, Kraków reaffirmed its role as a major national academic and artistic centre, with the establishment of new universities and cultural venues. After the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany at the start of the Second World War, Kraków was turned into the capital of Germany's General Government. The Jewish population of the city were moved into a walled zone known as the Kraków Ghetto, from which they were sent to extermination camps such as Auschwitz and Płaszów. In 1978, the same year UNESCO placed Kraków on the list of World Heritage Sites, Karol Wojtyła, archbishop of Kraków, was elevated to the papacy as John Paul II, the first non-Italian pope in 455 years, and the first ever Slavic pope.

Masuria (Polish: Mazury; German: Masuren (help·info)) is an area in northeastern Poland famous today for its 2000 lakes.
In the 11th-13th century, the territory was inhabited by the Old Prussians, also called Baltic Prussians, an Baltic ethnic group that inhabited Prussia, the lands of the southeastern coastal region of the Baltic Sea, in the area around the Vistula and Curonian Lagoons. They spoke a language now known as Old Prussian and followed a religion believed by modern scholars to be closely related to Lithuanian paganism. Although they bore the name of a 19th century German political entity, they were not "Germans." They were converted to Catholicism in the late-13th and 14th centuries, after conquest by the Knights of the Teutonic Order, and then to Protestantism in the early 16th century. In the 15th-19th centuries, the territory was part of the Duchy of Prussia, the Kingdom of Prussia and eventually the German Empire. After the Unification of Germany in 1871, the policy of Germanization sought to eradicate linguistic roots of the Old Prussian and the Polish languages. As a result of the East Prussian plebiscite after World War I Masuria remained within Weimar Germany. After World War II the area became Polish, the local populace was expelled or subsequently left the area.
Today, the region's economy relies largely on eco-tourism and agriculture. The 2,000 lakes for which the region is famous offer varieties of water sports, and vacation activities.
