Krakow or Prague - 3 month stay (alien.top)

Hello, me (33m), and my wife (32f), are considering Prague or Krakow for a 3 months stay. The background - We were supposed to move to Prague after a month and a half in Budapest, which was amazing, but I screwed up the apartment booking and now in 2 days we will have to find a new accommodation in Prague. So close to Christmas and being in Prague, our options are -

  1. Pay insane amount for an appartment near Andel.
  2. Stay far from the center (Kobylisy).
  3. Scrape the current plan and move on to Krakow.

Some key things to consider -

  1. My wife is lactose intolerant, so it’s important for us to have non dairy options.
  2. We are not party animals, so night life isn’t a factor.
  3. Affordable and welcoming co-working spaces, as we work 6-8 hours a day.
  4. Affordable accommodation.
  5. Decent coffee places.
  6. Decent Asian restaurants.

If anyone stayed in both or one of these cities, any advice would be welcome.

maybe try Thailand? or somewhere east since you want Asian restaurants. Kraków is miserable and dull and not terribly exciting in the winter months. not much for Asian restaurants and tons of Polish food has lactose or lactose by products.

Would you consider Bansko, Bulgaria? It’s great value and really beautiful in winter

Both options sound very cold. I would consider either a warmer beach town or else a ski resort. Both Poland and Slovakia have nice ski resorts.

Krakow is pretty meh. Prague would be my pick
