FAQ's about Polish Zloty
Your daily budget in Poland depends on your travel style and destination. On average, budget between PLN 100 to PLN 250 per day. Warsaw and Krakow tend to be more expensive, especially in tourist areas, while smaller towns offer more affordable options.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is available in both coins and banknotes. Coins come in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groszy, and 1, 2, and 5 Zloty denominations. Banknotes are available in PLN 10, PLN 20, PLN 50, PLN 100, and PLN 200 denominations. Having a mix of small coins and larger notes will make it easier to pay for various transactions during your stay.
Yes, cash is widely accepted in Poland, especially in smaller shops, cafes, local markets, and public transport. While credit and debit cards are commonly used in larger stores, restaurants, and hotels in major cities like Warsaw and Krakow, it's still a good idea to carry cash for convenience and to ensure smooth transactions in less urbanized areas.
Using a credit or debit card in Poland may incur foreign transaction fees, typically ranging from 1% to 3%. To avoid unnecessary charges, consider getting a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card.
The official currency of Poland is the Polish Zloty (PLN). While some Euros (EUR) may be accepted in major tourist spots, it’s always best to pay in PLN for the best exchange rates and to avoid unfavorable rates. For the most cost-effective transactions, ensure that you use Polish Zloty during your visit.
Tipping in Poland is not mandatory but is appreciated for good service. In restaurants, a tip of around 10% is common if service charges are not included in the bill. Taxi drivers may expect a small tip, typically rounding up the fare, while for hotel staff or tour guides, a tip of PLN 5 to PLN 20 is suitable for excellent service.
The cost of a meal in Poland can vary depending on where you choose to dine. On average, a meal at a budget restaurant or from a street vendor will cost between PLN 20 to PLN 50. In mid-range restaurants, expect to pay around PLN 50 to PLN 100 per person. At more upscale venues, meals can cost between PLN 100 to PLN 200 or higher.
The amount of Polish Zloty (PLN) you should buy depends on your travel plans and spending habits. It's recommended to exchange enough PLN to cover your initial days in Poland, including transportation, meals, and smaller purchases. Consider a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for use when you are away.
The best time to buy Polish Zloty is when exchange rates are favorable. Monitor the PLN exchange rates before your trip and buy your Zloty in advance if possible. Using a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card is also a smart way to lock in a favorable exchange rate before you travel to Poland.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is the official currency of Poland. While Euros are widely accepted in Eurozone countries, the Polish Zloty is primarily used only in Poland. For travel outside of Poland, you’ll need to exchange your PLN for the local currency of your destination.
We’ll buy back any foreign currency purchased with our Buy Back Scheme so you’re not out of pocket after your big adventures.
At Hays Travel you have several quick and easy methods to buy your currency. You can click & collect, call into branch, or choose home delivery.
You can also buy the Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card and load currency before your departure. ATMs are widely available in airports, hotels, and city centres.
Both cash and cards are widely accepted in Poland, but each has its advantages. Cash is often necessary for smaller transactions in markets, street food stalls, and taxis, while cards are more convenient for larger payments in hotels, restaurants, and shopping malls. Carrying a combination of cash and a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card is typically the best approach for managing your finances.
Carrying cash in Poland is generally safe, as Poland is considered a secure country for travelers. However, it’s always a good idea to take precautions. Use a money belt or a secure wallet to protect your Polish Zloty (PLN) from pickpockets, especially in crowded tourist areas. You can also use a Hays Travel Money Prepaid Mastercard® Currency Card for added security.
