Útil para el viaje
- Consejo
- Do not refer to Poland as Eastern Europe; Poles prefer to be called Central Europeans. Poland is located in central Europe, slightly north.

- Do not shake hands or say goodbye over a doorway threshold. Choose to be fully inside or fully outside the door when greeting/departing.
- Consejo
- Remove your shoes when entering a Polish home if you see the hosts wearing slippers or are not wearing shoes.
- Consejo
- Learning a few Polish words like 'dzięki' (thank you), 'proszę' (please), or 'piwo' (beer) opens doors with locals and makes them happy.
- Ahorrar
- Poland is extremely affordable to visit. Hotels, food, drinks, and museums are all very cheap compared to other European destinations.
- Evitar
- Do not drink alcohol in public spaces like parks. You can be arrested or fined. Drink only at restaurants and bars.
- Consejo
- Always carry an ID with you. If unwilling to carry a passport, bring a driver's license and a photocopy of your passport kept at your hotel.
- Ahorrar
- Avoid paying with large bills (50 or 100 złoty). Use them at museums or big stores to get change into smaller denominations for small purchases.
- Comida
- Tipping is customary: tip 10% normally or 15% for good service. Some restaurants already include 10% on the menu.
- Comida
- When paying cash, do not say 'thank you' or 'dzięki' after handing money to the server, or they will assume it's all a tip and keep it.
- Cuándo ir
- Poles value punctuality. If you'll be late to someone's home, call, text, or WhatsApp them beforehand as being late is considered rude.
- Consejo
- On your first visit, focus on cities like Kraków (town square, Cloth Hall, Wawel Hill), Gdansk, and Warsaw rather than nature tourism.
