No need to stay in the host cities for atmosphere imo.  Irish will be everywhere.

I'm staying in Lodz for convenience and access to Group A games.  torun will most liekly be the ebst place for Irish fans but I think Bydgoszcz is still a great option if you can't book Torun. 

Fans stay everywhere for these tournaments and I don't think you miss anything by not staying in the host cities.  Sure stay up the night of the game but with 5am trains and all night opening be careful what you pay for your room.

my thoughts exactly.we re only staying 2 nights out of 16 in host cities but we ll be in different places relatively close to whatever city ireland is playing in the build up to each game.

Would imagine Sopot and Gdansk will be the most popular resorts as there are beeches there that would certainly swing it for me ahead of Poznan and Torun .

fans are gonna be everywhere lads. It has to be said though Torun appears to be the place that makes most sense for all reasons mentioned thus far. Mainly its cheaper,suppossed to be lovely city(have heard this from Polish people who I have met). We are driving over so we gonna head away for day trips from Torun and see different places so not as if we gonna stay in Torun the whole time. Will check out host cities on match days so getting taste of the lot so happy out with plan of action. Yes, yes its true i am slightly excited about June and iI didnt even mention football in my post. Here come the goos times...

Torun is 3 times the size of Galway so it's not a country town as some posters on here have been saying .


serious value in fairness.
just wanted to know did someone get proper advice on the place and not just go by what the internet says. None of my polish friends know much about Torun so thats why i was more in favour of going to Gdansk/sopot/gdynia

will defo consider staying here for maybe 2 nights one before and one after the spain game. want to see as much of poland as i can fit in.

i reckon i know about 30 other lads going who are not members of YBIG and they are all staying in the host cities,  i reckon Torun will be good for those who are staying there but i think the atmosphere has to be better in the host cities. as for drink being a euro dearer or cheaper in different cities im pretty sure that every city will have both expensive and regular prices and its just a matter of finding them.

think most people are staying in at least 2 or 3 locations, but there is a fine line between visiting different places and constantly shifting

nothing wrong with a bit of shifting! Smile il see what way things works out distance wise when iv time to work out a route. if Torun is handy for breaking up the journey between poznan and gdansk il squeeze it in, if not im happy to just base myself in host cities and get trains etc. to visit places

It's cheap & reasonable  - a MYTH - I gave links to cheaper accommodations in Gdans Metropol. TriCity  - despite the proximity of the stadium and unparalleled attractiveness in Gdansk
It has good train connections -  from Gdansk will be available cheap train to Poznan  - back to Gdansk on the same day
It's not ripping us off
It seems a nice city - right , if you need calm and immobility

Torun - nice place to stay - no doubts Thumbs Up
have such a great experience in events, and everything

We're staying in Poznan on the 6th
Wroclaw 7th-9th - might try catch the Russia - Czech Republic game
Poznan 9th-12th
Sopot 12th - 16th
Poznan 16th-20th.

Then maybe head to Berlin or Krakow for a couple of days.

If I can help it I won't be in Torun. 

Ideally chillin in Sopot with the beach but costs are a big factor

exactly , why would you want to go there ....bet there will be regrets about staying there ....would people not want to be where the stadiums are ?

Having said all that the accommodation costs for poznan in prticular are a complete p1sstake ...outrageous ....£328 to share a room in a kippy hostel on the night of the 1st game ....no chance ....I am only there for the night but I can think of better things to be doing with that amount of cash ...I believe that the bars don't close
