Things to take to Poland
There are thousands of things you can take out of Poland to memorize your visit there. Still, in order to make this visit comfortable and trouble-free, make sure to take the following items with you:

  • Documents. Poland is a relatively safe country with a low criminal index (the 16th safest in Europe). Still, in the popular tourist places, pocket thieves might be frequent. Make sure to have your documents in a secure place with you. You’ll need them in case of document check by the police who are usually susceptible to foreigners. However, these checks aren’t likely to happen frequently.

  • Money. In Poland, you can use euros and a credit card to pay in most of the places. However, if you’re going to visit off-the-beaten-path locations and buy local craft, art, or food directly, be warned that the price will be announced in zloty and the exchange rate to euro won’t be favourable.

  • Camera. You’re likely to have a shot of the busy local market or a Warsaw Resistance museum, the Wawel castle in Krakow or the Oak of Mesko the First. Make sure your device accepts 230V voltage, which is common for the network in Poland. The sockets there accept power plugs of type C and type E, so, make sure to have an adapter if your plug is different.


  • Seasonal clothes and accessories. In Poland, seasons are classic: freezing winter, relatively warm spring, hot summer, and rainy autumn. Take clothes and accessories depending on the season and planned activities. Make sure to have a scarf or a jacket to put on in the evening, even in summer.
