When arriving

Despite being part of the European Union, Poland doesn't use the euro. The national currency in Poland is the złoty (pronounced as ZWAH-tee and abbreviated as PLN). Therefore, make sure to exchange your euros or withdraw some local currency from an ATM. It's also useful to carry a bit of cash, especially in more remote areas.

Although English is the second-most used language in the country, it may be a good idea to learn some basic words and sentences in Polish. Some useful phrases are dziękuję (Thank you), Jak się masz? (How are you?), and Czy mówisz po angielsku? (Do you speak English?).
