Poland - investment in Poland and property

Poland was the only country in the European Union not to go into recession, when all the other countries did in 2009. It represents a safe haven economy, which is politically stable and has a buoyant property market. It is not your traditional second holiday home destination, but makes a great choice for an investment property in one of the main city centres. Krakow is very popular as a city centre break, given all its historic connections and proximity to Auschwitz, as well as its Universities which attract students from around the world.

Property prices have appreciated in stronger European countries like Poland, whose positive economic growth bodes well for property markets.
