Internet Cafes

Internet cafes? Naturally, like most cities in Poland, Warsaw has a terrific selection of places to choose from, so when you're in the city, you'll easily be able to keep in touch through the web. Prices are very reasonable - expect to pay around 3 zloty per hour (that's about 50 pence or 80 US cents) and there are rock-bottom price deals for the night owls who want to work through during the dead hours. Again, you'd probably pay around 10 zloty (less than 2 pounds between 10 pm and 6 am) though it varies from internet cafe to internet cafe. A relatively small percentage of Poles have internet connections at home, and most of those are courtesy of the sluggish (and expensive) state-run telecommunications company, so the upshot has been an explosion of public internet cafes with high-speed connections offering a good range of internet-related services at a reasonable price. They're popular and their numbers are growing rapidly. From the vast halls of virtual vivacity to your more intimate mom-and-pop cafes, you'll find it all on Warsaw's streets. Pretty soon you'll find yourself at home amongst email-obsessors and cyber-geeks galore.
