Destination-specific money tips
- •Major credit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are widely accepted in most shops, restaurants, and hotels. Always ask if a place accepts cards before ordering.
- •Avoid using ATMs inside tourist information centers or shopping malls, as they often have higher fees. Look for ATMs attached to major banks like PKO Bank Polski or Bank Pekao.
- •While tipping isn't mandatory, it's customary to leave around 10% for good service in restaurants. Some places may include a service charge; check your bill.
- •Wrocław is generally very affordable compared to Western European cities, especially for food and local transport. Enjoy the value!
- •Some smaller, traditional 'milk bars' (bar mleczny) might be cash-only, so it's wise to have some PLN on hand for authentic and budget-friendly meals.
