The currency used in Poland is the Polish złoty (PLN). For travelers, both cash and card payments are widely accepted, but using cards is often more convenient and secure, especially in cities. However, carrying some cash is recommended for small purchases or in rural areas where card acceptance may be limited.
In Gdańsk, travelers should be cautious of pickpocketing, especially in crowded areas like the Old Town and transport hubs. Some taxi drivers may overcharge, so using licensed taxis or ride-hailing apps is advisable. Avoid unofficial currency exchange offices to prevent unfavorable rates or scams. Travelers are generally safe but should remain vigilant in busy tourist spots.
Pack lightweight, versatile clothing suitable for the destination's climate, and use secure, lockable luggage to protect belongings.
