Poland

Polish złoty (PLN)

Types C and E

Plan 7–10 days to combine cities such as Warsaw, Kraków, and Gdańsk. With 5–7 days, concentrate on one or two regions rather than crossing the entire country.

May through June and September offer comfortable weather and fewer crowds. Summer is lively but busy, while December is popular for Christmas markets. Winters can be very cold.

Cards and contactless payments are widely accepted. Keep a small amount of Polish złoty for markets, public restrooms, and occasional small businesses.

Trains connect the major cities, while trams, buses, and metro services make urban travel straightforward. A car is mainly useful for rural areas and smaller villages.

Bring comfortable walking shoes, layers, and a rain jacket. Pack an insulated coat, gloves, and weather-resistant footwear for winter.
