Can I use euros in Poland?
Sure, some touristy places and activities might take euros, but beware, the exchange rates can sting. To get the most out of your money, always pay in zloty.
Is it cheaper to pay in zloty or euro?
It’s generally cheaper to pay in Polish zloty (PLN) than euros in Poland. Using zloty ensures you get the most for your money and avoids any extra conversion fees.
Is the Polish zloty pegged to the euro?
No, the Polish zloty (PLN) is not pegged to the euro. Poland has its own floating exchange rate system, meaning the value of the zloty can fluctuate against the euro and other currencies based on market conditions.
Is it best to use cash or credit cards in Poland?
Poland appreciates cash, especially for things like street snacks, buses, or market finds.
Cash transactions are often quicker and more straightforward, as some smaller vendors and rural shops might not accept cards. Still, having a card for bigger spending or emergencies is smart. Visa and Mastercard are accepted widely.
All in all, a mix of cash and cards is the way to go in Poland. Use cash for everyday bits and a card for heftier expenses, or just in case.
At Manor FX, we offer the best rate for Polish zloty, so remember to convert Polish zloty to GBP on your return.
Can I use my Visa debit card in Poland?
Yes, you can use your Visa debit card in Poland. Visa cards are widely accepted at most places, including shops, restaurants, and ATMs.
However, it is always good to have some Polish zloty in cash for smaller purchases or places that might not accept cards.
Are ATMs free in Poland?
It depends. Your bank may charge fees to withdraw cash abroad, and the ATM’s bank might also.
Some ATMs in Poland might charge a fee, especially if they’re not operated by your own bank or if your bank has fees for international withdrawals.
Please note: It’s good to check with your bank about their fees for using ATMs abroad to avoid surprises.
How can I minimise ATM fees in Poland?
Choose ATMs from reputable banks to keep fees low and take out larger amounts less often to reduce charges.
Check if your bank has partnerships with Polish banks for fee-free withdrawals. Or, order Polish zloty from us in advance to skip ATM hassles altogether.
Is Poland expensive or cheap?
Poland is generally considered affordable compared to many Western European countries. Costs for things like food, accommodation, and public transport can be lower, offering good value for money.
However, prices can vary depending on the city or region, with places like Warsaw and Kraków being pricier than smaller towns and rural areas. Like any destination, how expensive your trip is will also depend on your personal travel style and choices.
How much zloty should I take to Poland?
It all depends on your plans and spending style. Here’s a rough guide:
- Budget travellers: Around £250-£300 or 1,200-1,450 PLN per week should cover hostels, public transport, cheap eats, and some entry fees.
- Mid-range travellers: £350-£500 or 1,700-2,400 PLN per week is a good fit for private rooms, eating out, and more attractions.
- Luxury travellers: £600+ or 2,900+ PLN per week is needed for plush hotels, fancy meals, and expensive experiences.
These are just estimates. It’s wise to have a little extra, just in case.
Is it customary to tip in Poland?
Tipping for good service is common. Around 10% is expected in eateries. A bit extra for taxis and hotel staff is a kind touch.

Do you need a visa to go to Poland?
Whether you need a visa to visit Poland depends on your nationality and how long you plan to stay. You don’t need a visa for short visits if you’re from the EU, the EEA, or Switzerland.

What is the best time of year to visit Poland?
The best time to visit Poland is during spring (May to June) and autumn (September to October). These months offer mild weather, fewer crowds, and beautiful natural scenery.
Spring brings blooming flowers and green landscapes, while autumn offers cool, crisp air and stunning fall colours.
Summers (July to August) can also be great, but they’re usually busier and hotter.
If you don’t mind the cold, winter has its charm with snowy scenes and festive markets.
What are the dos and don’ts in Poland?
When visiting Poland, it’s good to keep a few dos and don’ts in mind to respect the local culture and customs:

- Do be punctual: Whether it’s a business meeting or a dinner invitation, being on time is appreciated.
- Do take off your shoes: In many Polish homes, it’s customary to remove your shoes at the door.

- Do respect religious customs: Poland is predominantly Catholic, and showing respect in places of worship is important.
Don’ts:
- Don’t refuse hospitality: Poles are known for their hospitality. If offered food or drink, it’s polite to accept.
- Don’t forget table manners: Wait until the host starts eating, and remember to say “Smacznego” (Enjoy your meal) before starting.
- Don’t ignore history: Poland has a complex history, especially concerning World War II and the Holocaust. Be respectful and sensitive when discussing these topics.
- Don’t be loud in public places: Keep your voice down in public spaces like restaurants and on public transport.
- Don’t forget to tip: Tipping is around 10% in restaurants, and for services, it is customary.
Embracing these simple guidelines can help make your visit enjoyable and respectful towards Polish culture.
Top 5 facts about Poland
- Diverse geography: Poland offers a wide range of landscapes, from the sandy beaches of the Baltic Sea coast in the north to the towering Tatra Mountains in the south. The country is also home to Europe’s last remaining primaeval forest, Białowieża Forest, which houses the European bison, the continent’s heaviest land animal.
- Historic cities: Poland’s cities are rich in history and culture. Kraków is known for its well-preserved medieval core and Jewish quarter, while Warsaw, the capital, has been beautifully rebuilt after being almost entirely destroyed during World War II. Gdańsk plays a pivotal role in modern history as the birthplace of the Solidarity movement, which helped end Communist rule in Central Europe.
- Inventive spirit: Poland has been the birthplace of many inventors and notable figures, including Nicolaus Copernicus, who proposed the heliocentric model of the universe. Another remarkable Pole is Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different scientific fields.
- Polish cuisine: Polish cuisine is hearty and flavoursome, featuring dishes like pierogi (filled dumplings), kielbasa (Polish sausage), and bigos (hunter’s stew). A unique aspect of Polish dining is the ‘milk bar’ tradition, a type of cafeteria offering affordable, traditional food, a holdover from Communist times.
- Cultural heritage: Poland has a rich tradition of music, literature, and arts. It’s the birthplace of world-renowned composer Frédéric Chopin and Nobel laureate poets Wisława Szymborska and Czesław Miłosz. The country also hosts numerous festivals and cultural events, including the famous Kraków Film Festival and the Warsaw Autumn, an international festival of contemporary music.
