Visit Poland - What to Know Before You Visit Poland

[@ruk2023--]

I've been going to Poland for 20+ years and Mark is right, as soon as you make even the tiniest bit of effort to speak the language the Poles are much friendlier.

[@LannasMissingLink]

Working with polish people was a super fun experience with me as a teen, they taught me tons of words. Some bad words, but some really helpful ones. And cause theres so many polish people in my country too, I got to greet customers in polish too! When you speak someones language they really open up

I really like Krakow, been there twice. But the last time I tried to go out twice for beers, pubs, etc. and could not find a good place... There were A TON of people drinking (or drunk) in the street, but very few bars. It was just weird. It was mostly restaurants or touristy bars in the main square, or downright clubs. But neither actual pubs nor these type of pub/clubs which are essentially pubs with a small-ish dancing floor, which I could find in other places in Poland.

[@joshuablundell1790]

Tell your son to go to Kraków. It's honestly my favourite city in Europe. Even just a 2 day trip is enough to go around the main square and to see Wawel castle. It's beautiful, as soon as you come in through the florian gates into the old town there's these beautiful paintings that cover the walls. One of my favourite things to see. Also a top tip, don't eat or drink where the tourists drink, go to a 'bar mleczny' things are super cheap and tasty and it's the food the polish eat.

My experience traveling in Poland this summer confirms everything you said in this video, Mark. I had a wonderful time, but 10 days was not enough. I look forward to visiting again. I visited only Krakow, Warsaw, Toruń, and Gdańsk but there is so much more to see. As an amateur WWII history buff, I explored many intriguing, moving, and well designed museums. The tragic history can be intense and emotional to learn about but it is so important not to forget. I enjoyed the delicious food, magnificent churches, wonderful museums, and engaging historical sites throughout Poland. Yes, having small change (zloty coins) is a must but lots of places take credits cards. Street vendors and smaller tourist sites are where change is necessary. Merchants just don’t seem to keep change on them. I took trains to get from city to city and it was easy and seemed quick enough to me. I bought my tickets in advance online since I had a specific itinerary in place, so I can’t speak to buying them in person. Public transportation was easy to use the little amount I used it. I love to walk, personally. Finally, Poland is cheap, which makes it easier to enjoy a trip. Nobody likes spending lots of money, right? If you are considering going to Poland I can’t recommend it enough. Mark’s video seems spot-on to me. Thanks, again!

[@laughingbeaver1138]

Also, I agree with previous comments about visiting Auschwitz and Birkenau. I took the public bus which was extremely cheap and easy. It allowed me to be flexible and make my day visit as long as I wanted. If you buy a ticket for a pricier guided bus tour then you are stuck to their timeline and will have little to no time to explore Auschwitz and Birkenau on your own. But, do your research before your trip. The museum has specific policies that change throughout the year regarding reserving a ticket, booking a tour guide (the museum calls them educators), etc. it may seem a little confusing but a little research goes a long way in being an informed tourist.

[@JohnWilson-qf5tk]

I visited Krakow a couple years ago What an amazing city and country. I loved it I work with quite a lot of polish guys in work I'm always asking questions about the country. I will visit again soon hopefully.

[@mariohendriks1]

The police is Poland is indeed really strict on the not drinking in public policy. When my friends and I got a cold beer and enjoyed it on a street bench after a long journey it only took five minutes for a van with 8 police officers to pull in with blue lights. Luckily they understood we were dumb tourist unaware of this policy and they politely asked us to finish our beer at the hostel.

[@MisTrzYogi]

Its important to not drink alkohol then children are looking

[@agirlisnoone5953]

That was nice of them. It's the tourists responsibility to know the laws of the country they visit.

[@mariohendriks1]

I agree with you both, but sometimes laws can be confusing. Like if you drink alcohol on a street side terrace that belongs to a bar, technically you're drinking in public. And regarding knowing the law, over here in Utrecht, NL those laws change from one neighborhood to the next one. For a tourist it's almost impossible to gather this information.

[@tomekville7]

Mario Hendriks I guess lots of things changed When I grew up there it was no problem drinking in public at all.

[@milutave]

Almost everyone in this country below 40 years of has speak in english very good if not fluent.( and quite often few different languages) Maybe with accent - but still good. From my personal point of view : People are very well educated, friendly, very well organised very helpful , tolerant, bur also opportunist when you try to change their points of view ( no matter of age) and real patriots , they love their country, culture, and they are quite possesive about that. Poland is very intresting , cheap, very good public transport (trains, buses, trams, bikes and car rent, private buses especially in lesser towns) and safe place to visit. By geography - the have everything here : mountains of very differend kinds, rivers, lakes, sea,woods, swarms and even desserts. Their culture, history, and countrysides are really amazing so colurful so differend and in some way's so similiar ...I cannot grasp this similiarity but some day I will. Country very diversed by local dishes and customs. Food - amazing fresh, healthy and strong ( lot of meat, cheese cabbages, potatos, milk , seasonal fruits , wild mushrooms , but people are no overweighted. They are like to walk they are fit and strong ). They have very good beers , and vodka's and strong heads to drinking. Very clean streets, very colourful buildings. Highly recomennded. I will return for sure but for longer one week it is no much time to visit. Worth of money seriously.

I am an American who has had the wonderful privilege of living in Kraków for 9 1/2 years. I love this city and never tire of it. You are right about the getting change thing when buying something. Even busy places, where you know they have a lot of cash on hand, would act like it was such a hassle for them to make change for me. But recently I have noticed that attitude seems to be waning. But my experience regarding crossing the streets here is quite different from your observations. Cars readily stop just seeing a person waiting to cross. In order not to have a car stop for me, I don’t act like I want to cross the street until all cars have gone past me. That is how good they are about stopping for pedestrians in Kraków. You are right about any attempt to speak some Polish. It will usually bring a smile to the face of the person you are speaking to. They understand how difficult their language is for foreigners. It is November now and I really enjoy this time of year. Most of the tourists are gone and I can enjoy my beautiful city in relative calm.

Cheap domestic flights with Ryanair and also domestic flights (but more expensive) with LOT (Polish Airlines). Don't forget about fast train Pendolino (Express InterCity Premium): Wroclaw - Warsaw, Krakow - Warsaw - Gdansk and plenty of differnt types train services between other cities. If you book your ticket online (InterCity) 30 days before departure, you will get a very low price. Remember, you have to keep your ID (national card or passport) together with your ticket purchased online - just to confirm your name on it and to prove you are owner of this ticket (our stupid polish policies), if not - you may be fined 500 zl. So, if you are on a budget, then you can choose FlixBus... Have a nice journey.

Overall had a good trip, just some advice: I traveled with my friend (also male) so we were two men on tour. Literally EVERYWHERE we went (only at night) we were constantly harassed by reps advertising "clubs". These are not clubs in the traditional sense, these are brothels and they are dodgy as hell. They will rinse you of your money and make is hard to leave. They coerce you into a "free drink" that isn't actually free and then block the entrance when you try to leave. Avoid at all costs! The most common place we found these reps harassing people (only men) were the main square and the Jewish old town. They are incredibly persistent and very annoying.

If you are flying into Krakow and staying in the city centre, a taxi is a fixed price of 90 Zlotti's (€22 / £18) direct to your hotel or place of choice in the city centre. I recommend this over a coach transfer or bus, as the taxi will give you information as you drive, and you can see the beautiful countryside. Just get the taxi from the taxi rank, if someone comes up to you asking if you want a taxi, just say "no thanks" and go to the official taxi rank and get in one yourself. Particularly in Warsaw, it's not dangerous but they will charge you 3 times as much. Also, if you are thinking of going to Auschwitz, don't buy one of those guided bus tours, just go to the bus station and buy a ticket, it is about one fifth of the price.

I know this is late but maybe posterity will use this. In Poland you can use almost all ATM to withdraw directly from a foreign account, just make sure your bank offers a fair rate. And recently there was a nationwide event promoting the use of card payment, now nearly every shop and street stall offers card payment. You can pay directly using your currency again just make sure you get fair rates from your bank. The seller directly receives polish money so don't worry.

It seems Wrocław is an unpronuncable name for many foreigners.

For English speakers: Vrotswav

[@edlawn5481]

@@Pining_for_the_fjords It's pronounced just like it's spelled. ;) Actually it doesn't take much to learn Polish pronunciation, and at least it's consistent.

[@podrozowanieprzezp]

@@Pining_for_the_fjords English peopel pronounced it Wrołklaw or Wrołklow

[@scotchgod8478]

Breslau sounds much better anyway!

[@podrozowanieprzezp]

@@scotchgod8478 you kidding? no way. There is no Breslau anymore like most German think it;s Vrotswav.

Castles aren't that random - it comes from our history, and changing borders, especially in XIV century :)

Wroclaw is beautiful as well.Better than Krakow and about the same as Gdansk.However, there is plenty of beautiful cities to visit.

Hi I'm Polish

[@nikka00]

Is this the same vid you posted some years ago? Views haunting?

[@Gamerage60]

ay I've been watching a few of these videos and been enjoying them, but I got a question. Traveling is expensive and you seem to do a lot of it, where do you work or get money to travel to all these amazing places.

[@edlawn5481]

I'd like to visit Zakopane, especially around the Christmas holidays. I hear it gets pretty crowded then, though.

[@PinkDiamoMSP]

True. I was luckily there when it wasn’t as crowded but it can get packed

[@nortchee]

well, don't go there when people from Mazowsze have winter holidays if you want a space to breathe, don't mentioning if you want to ski, there's no way to do that

[@danielz1666]

Does somebody wanna teach me the word that starts with a "k"? 😅

[@MisTrzYogi]

Over 3000 years polish history

[@theItalianshamrock]

Can you make a video about driving in European countries.. im going to Italy and want to drive around but dont want to if its going to be crazy haha

[@szymonzielinski7160]

The speed on motorways in Italy is 130 km / h. I do not recommend it in summer because of traffic jams and heat. If you are not going to the countryside, choose public transport. You will save time, nerves and money. Besides, you'll be tired of the flight itself. Most of the cars have a manual gearbox. Fortunately, Europe is not North America. I had "the pleasure" of using public transport in Canada - a tragedy. Here, even from a small town, you can easily get wherever you want.

I love Wrocław
