10 Things Not to Do in Poland
Get more Tips here!
There are an almost endless number of reasons to visit Poland. Poland is home to 14 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the food is incredible, and the history is gripping. It’s cheap, too. Of course, it’s possible to get into some trouble. If you want to keep the locals happy, and make sure you hit all the right hot spots, follow these NOT to do.
1. Don’t Check Your Inhibitions at the Door
Use good judgement, avoid poorer areas after dark, and think twice before you go home with any strangers. That being said, Poland still has a very low crime rate overall, so you should be safe.
2. Don’t Leave Without Checking the Weather
Obviously, the weather in Poland is different depending on the season, but you should be aware that the temperatures in the country can swing to the extremes with ease. Plan ahead. You’ve been warned.
3. Don’t Skip Dessert
Polish cuisine is pretty mouth-watering as a whole, but even if you don't indulge in the odd pastry or two, break that rule for Polish dessert. Every one of your senses will thank you.
4. Don’t Be a Jerk to the Locals
Lots of countries have a reputation for their friendly locals. The Poles take it to a new level. If you end up chatting with someone too long, you might find yourself invited over for dinner (which you probably shouldn’t pass up).
5. Don’t Forget About Krakow
You’ll probably fly into Warsaw, which can easily serve as a base of operations for your trip. Thanks to the city’s vibrant thrum, you can find yourself enamored for days. If you stick around the capital city, however, you’ll be missing out on storied Krakow, which is like a storybook village come to life.
6. Don’t Jaywalk
In some other countries, it might not be that big a deal to cross the street anywhere it seems convenient. In Poland, you might get slapped with a 500zł fine. If you want to shell out the $136 US to cover it, then cross the street freely. Otherwise, cross at the appointed intersections.
7. Don’t Forget that Pickpockets Are a Thing
In areas where a lot of tourists congregate, your odds increase that a pickpocket is lurking around. If you leave your goods unattended, they will get ripped off. Just keep a hand on your souvenirs and an eye on your wallet while you’re taking in Poland’s sights.
8. Don’t Travel in Unlicensed Taxis
If you’re in Krakow or Warsaw, make sure that you only catch a ride with taxis that display both the company name and the phone number on the top of the cab. You should also make sure the cabbie’s license number is displayed, that the meter works and it’s used.
9. Don’t Drink (Too Much)
You should absolutely check out the beers and vodkas that Poland has to offer, because they’re world class. Even better, craft beer has seen a huge resurgence in the country, which means there are different drinks in every corner of the country. Enjoy! But, you know, responsibly and stuff.
10. Don’t Leave Without Visiting at Least One UNESCO World Heritage Site
Krakow’s Historic Center. Auschwitz. Białowieza Forest. Warsaw’s Historic Center. The Medieval Town of Toruń. The Dual Churches of Peace in Jawor and Swidnica. Centennial Hall in Wrocław. The place has a lot of cherished history. So much so that you can only miss it if you’re actively trying.

Łódź (Poland)
Łódź is the third-largest city in Poland. It is the capital of Łódź Voivodeship, and is approximately 135 kilometres (84 mi) south-west of Warsaw. The city's coat of arms is an example of canting: depicting a boat. It alludes to the city's name which translates literally as boat. The city is internationally known for its National Film School, a cradle for the most renowned Polish actors and directors, including Andrzej Wajda and Roman Polanski.
The Piotrkowska Street, which remains the high-street and main tourist attraction in the city, runs north to south for a little over five kilometres (3.1 miles). This makes it one of the longest commercial streets in the world. Łódź has one of the best museums of modern art in Poland, Muzeum Sztuki, on Więckowskiego (ms1) and Ogrodowa (ms2) Street, which displays a 20th and 21st century art collection.
The city has an international airport: Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport located 6 kilometres (4 miles) from the city centre. Flights connect the city with destinations in Europe and Turkey.
TRAVEL WITH ME | POLAND
Maybe Poland isn't the first country you think of when you are planning a city trip. Neither did we, but when you search for the cheapest flight instead of a destination, you will be surprised!
Poland has a great variation from city, nature till history. Here in Europe, Poland has a big history due to the World War 2. So after three days of seeing city and nature we went to the concentration camp Aushwitz. definitely a recommendation for people who are interested in World War 2! It is a place I will never forget for sure.
