How much money do I need when visiting Poland?

 

The amount of money you’ll need for a trip to Poland depends on your travel style, destination, and planned activities.

While Poland is often seen as a more affordable European destination, prices can vary – especially in major cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk, where costs for hotels and dining may be similar to other parts of Europe. According to Numbeo and travel budgeting websites, prices have increased in recent years, particularly in tourist hotspots. [6]

That said, many visitors still find Poland offers good value. Budget airlines, reasonably priced public transport, and discounted entry to cultural attractions help keep costs manageable. Local eateries – especially traditional canteen-style bar mleczny (milk bars) – can offer hearty meals at lower prices than many restaurants in Western Europe.

How much should I budget?

Typical daily spending varies, but some travel guides suggest budgeting around 2,107zł (approximately £418) per person for a one-week trip to Poland [7]. This estimate covers mid-range accommodation, meals, local transportation, and sightseeing. However, actual costs will vary based on your itinerary and preferences.

 

 

Is it better to buy zloty in Poland or the UK?

 

Travelling abroad can be stressful - but sorting your Polish Zloty in advance might help make things a little easier.

Some travellers choose to exchange GBP to Polish Zloty before they leave the UK to avoid searching for currency exchange services on arrival. Exchange rates and fees can vary depending on where you convert your money, and airport kiosks, hotels, or tourist areas may not always offer the most competitive rates.

UK debit and credit cards are accepted at many businesses in Poland, including shops, cafes, and restaurants. However, card payments abroad may involve foreign transaction fees and less favourable exchange rates, depending on your bank. Similarly, withdrawing Zloty from ATMs in Poland is possible with many UK cards, but it’s worth checking in advance whether your bank applies any fees or surcharges.

Buying Polish Zloty before you travel can be a convenient option for those who prefer to have their travel money ready ahead of time.

Before making any withdrawals or purchases, it is always advisable to check with the merchant if any fees or limits apply to your transaction.

Although cards are widely accepted in Krakow, some travellers prefer to carry a small amount of Polish Zloty for things like tips, small purchases, or in case a card isn’t accepted. It can offer added convenience, particularly in local markets or smaller establishments.
