gdansk/sopot is where the craic will be IMO, torun is grand for saving a few bob but i dont want to limit myself to staying in one place, plan on getting in a good few places along the way. has anyone here booked for camping in gdansk/sopot yet? the beach looks class, might try spend 2 days in Hel too

Based on my experience of Euro2008 you can't beat staying in host cities. One or two nights we stayed in towns away from the games and you'd hardly know there was a major tournament on except for a few out watching the matches. The whole carnival in host cities, with locals getting involved is magic. Haven't fully sorted accommodation yet as hoping something cheaper or more comfortable pops up but we have provisionally booked in Poznan and Gdansk.

There will be a few of us alright. A few Irish residents dragging friends & family along. Give us a shout closer to time and we can meet up for a few.

It's between Poznan & Gdansk
It's cheap & reasonable
It has good train connections
It's not ripping us off
It seems a nice city

It was the best and most reasonable place to stay perfectly positioned for travel to both games . We got 12 nights b & b for €232 do we jumped at it.
Have checked it out since with poles who live and work on Galway and everyone who had been there said we had made the perfect decision and then one of my friends whose family had bought large farms in Poland told me it was the most beautiful city in Poland and the bars and restaurants were far more reasonable than the ones in poznan and gdansk . Torun is 3 times the size of Galway so it's not a country town as some posters on here have been saying . |

football would be a bigger deal in Poland than either Austria/Switzerland. Having said that I aint paying stupid money just to stay in host citys any more than I have to ie match day. Any other time I have a decent enough deal ie 15/16 in Gdansk but Poznan/Gdansk havent done them selves any favours
Saying than spending any time in a 'Euro2012 fan zone' drinking carlsberg/budweiser (

150e for campsote accom even though 10 of your nights are in poznan/gdansk?!? If you actually get accomm this cheap please let me know where!! 50e a night each is the cheapest I've seen for a camper in Poznan or Gdansk - based on four of us in a camper.

You're not comparing like with like. We have one of the biggest travelling contingents, so big that there'll be a buzz in many cities and certainly Torun. Having said that Id prefer to be staying in the host cities but Id rather pay 180 quid for a central hotel in Torun for 12 nights, which I have done, than spend mad money in Poznan or Gdansk which would rule astana and Budapest out for me.
Im still on the look out for reasonably priced accom in Gdansk and Poznan for the night before and night of the games but if it doesnt turn up so be it. One positive about Torun is there's likely to be a lot less clowns around than will most definitely be flooding Poznan and Gdansk. Another is that we wont be moving every 2 days hurling bags around, getting turfed out of your hotel at midday, pain in the arse if you ask me. |

Agree kerzy, that the large Irish contingent in adjacent cities will create an atmosphere in them towns. I'm still optimistic reasonably priced rooms will appear In host cities... Otherwise we'll probably just be staying the night before and of the game in host cities And elsewhere in between. Was just giving my experience of Austria and particularly Switzerland But I suppose that could've been down to the less excitable national Character of those countries also. |

All our matchs are 8:45 p.m. Polish time. There is no need to be there the night before the games. You can easily get to both Poznan and Gdansk by midday on the match days from Torun. I don't see the premium as being worth it, frankly.

You're some man...!! Thanks!!
Do they seem genuine enough to be paying a deposit then? And what's the craic with getting back to these sites after a night on the lash after a match, do trains run all night or can we get taxis or what?
I looked at Malta and that was about 50e each a night, isn't that what you found?

they have been handy to deal with email regular enough and most places i hear from others on here that they look for deposit. i did it in the bank myself so have the paper trail anyway. there was another place in gdansk offering similiar price to lake malta and is right beside beach but this place saves us about 30e each. not too sure about distance from gdansk center but id say taxis wouldnt be a problem malta One night costs: 50PLN per each person200PLN per camper so 200/3=63+50=113z is about 30e a night!! dunno where getting 50e.
