Packing for Poland? Get your travel money here
Poland has long been hailed as one of Europe’s best value destinations. And while prices have generally been on the rise in recent years, its popularity with UK holidaymakers seems undiminished.
If you’re taking a trip there, it’s easy to get Polish zloty currency at the Post Office. Buy your travel money online or in any participating branch. It’s also one of 23 currencies you can load onto a Travel Money Card.
If you order holiday money online you can pick it up from your nearest branch with Click & Collect – the next working day for orders before 3pm. We can also deliver online orders to your home.
Buying online could get you a better rate than buying in branch. To save even more, buy when the Polish zloty exchange rate is good.
We’ll buy back any Polish currency you bring home. We’ll refund travel money if your trip’s cancelled. And you can get travel insurance at Post Office, too.

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
