Poland doesn’t typically get too hot in the summer, although global warming has had an effect on the country. This is peak season for travel in Poland, though, as the days are long and warm. Book ahead if you’re looking for any chance at decent deals on flights and accommodation

Poland’s national currency is the Polish złoty, despite the country’s membership in the European Union. Credit cards are widely accepted in major city centers, but you’ll want to carry some cash if you’re going off the beaten path

Poland is affordable to visit, especially if you travel in the off-season as a strategy to save on flights and accommodations. Eating out and visiting Poland tourist attractions still feels less expensive than in countries in Western Europe.
