Poland Travel Tips

Ensure your passport is valid for at least three months beyond your intended departure. Check if you need a visa based on your nationality—most EU, US, UK, and Canadian travelers can stay visa-free for up to 90 days.

Get travel insurance to cover medical emergencies, cancellations, and unexpected events. If you’re planning outdoor activities, confirm that your policy includes coverage. You can easily do so via our partners at Allianz.

Familiarise yourself with local emergency numbers. The universal number is 112. Additionally, our customer support line is available:
+1 (954) 787 5105

+41 553 391 888

The Polish złoty (PLN) is the official currency. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it’s useful to carry cash for smaller shops and rural areas. Make sure to inform your bank about your upcoming travel.

Polish is the official language. English is commonly spoken in tourist areas, but learning basic Polish phrases can be helpful.

Check the forecast for your travel period. Winters are cold, requiring warm layers, while summers can be warm, so pack light clothing with a rain jacket. Spring and autumn can be unpredictable, so layers are best.

Poland uses Type E plugs (230V, 50Hz). If your devices use a different plug type, bring an adapter.

Check with your mobile provider about international roaming charges. Prepare for your upcoming trip by purchasing an e-sim plan on the Airalo app. It's a more affordable and convenient option compared to local SIM cards or international fees.

Organize essential travel documents, including flight tickets, hotel reservations, transportation passes, and any tour or activity bookings. Keep copies of important documents such as your passport, travel insurance, and emergency contacts.

You can also download our Firebird App to view all of your trip-related documents and details in one place online or offline! The app is available in both the App Store and Google Play.

Poles value politeness - greetings with a firm handshake are common. Avoid discussing sensitive historical topics unless you are well-informed. It’s customary to remove shoes when entering someone's home.
