Experience in Opole, Poland by Katarzyna

What is it like to live in Opole? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

Opole is a typical student city and if you live in the dormitory you will never get bored. For me, the city is nice and you will find there a lot of clubs, coffee shops and restaurants. Opole is not very big, so you can go everywhere on foot unless the weather is bad but then you can easily take a bus.
