FAQs
-
Poland uses the Polish złoty (PLN), often shown with the symbol zł. One złoty divides into 100 groszy. While card payments are widely accepted across Warsaw, including on public transport and in most shops, cafés, and restaurants, it is worth carrying a small amount of cash for smaller purchases and tips. Currency can be exchanged at the airport, at banks, and at exchange offices known locally as kantor, which are found throughout the city and usually offer competitive rates. Note that Poland is not part of the eurozone, so euros are not generally accepted for everyday transactions.
-
April in Warsaw brings cool spring weather with average temperatures ranging from 5-15°C (41-59°F). You can expect a mix of sunshine and occasional rain showers, with cooler evenings. We recommend bringing warm layers and a waterproof jacket for venturing outside.
-
EU/EEA citizens need only a valid passport or national ID card. Visitors from many countries including the UK, US, Canada, and Australia can enter Poland visa-free for up to 90 days, as Poland is part of the EU and the Schengen Area.
Please note that from 2027 the EU is introducing ETIAS (European Travel Information and Authorisation System), an online travel authorisation for visa-exempt visitors. Enforcement is currently expected to begin in April 2027, with an application fee of €20 and validity for up to three years. If you are travelling from a visa-exempt country, we recommend applying online in good time before you travel.
We strongly recommend checking current visa and entry requirements with the Polish Embassy or Consulate in your country well before travel.

Warsaw is a safe city with low crime rates, welcoming a growing number of international visitors each year. As across the EU, emergency services can be reached by dialling 112, and most hotels and conference venues have English-speaking staff who can assist with any concerns.
-
Warsaw blends deep historical tradition with the energy of a modern European capital. Poles value politeness, courtesy, and a degree of formality in professional settings, and a firm handshake with eye contact is the customary greeting.
Do note that jaywalking is illegal in Poland and can carry an on-the-spot fine, so it is best to cross at designated points.
The city has a thriving café culture, and its many cafés and milk bars (bar mleczny, traditional and affordable eateries) provide welcoming venues for informal meetings and networking between conference sessions.
