How far will my Polish zloty go?
-
If you’re not travelling to Poland right away, it’s worth watching the exchange rate and buying when the pound (GBP) is strong against the Polish zloty (PLN)
-
For a reasonably small budget, you can cover a cheap hotel room, dinners at mid-level restaurants and visits to the odd museum. Using the intercity buses and trains also cuts down on travel expenses
-
Eating at good restaurants and staying at the best hotels can cost just as much as in Western Europe. And prices will be higher across the board in the three main cities of Warsaw, Krakow and Gdansk
-
Book a taxi by phone – in Krakow, it costs less than flagging one down on the street
-
Keep some small notes – some cafés and smaller shops won’t accept anything above 50zl
-
Eat at sandwich shops – found in big cities, they’re a cheaper lunch than sit-down restaurants
-
Haggle in the markets – it’s acceptable to argue on price, so learn a few Polish phrases
