Many people complain that coffee in Warsaw costs 16 PLN, while in Sicily it’s only 1 euro – so supposedly Warsaw cafes are "ripping people off," right? Meanwhile, an acquaintance decided to sell her café, located in one of the best locations in Warsaw (between Marszałkowska and Hoża streets). Reason? The business barely made a profit because the rent for the premises (owned by a well-known corporation) was raised to 16,000 PLN per month. *16,000 PLN rent for a 20 sqm café*. Do you know what you can rent for that amount in Sicily? A whole palace. You can also rent a ready-to-go café in one of the best parts of Palermo for less than 4,000 PLN. (translated)
