Currency in Poland
The Zloty is the official currency of Poland although many people make the common mistake of thinking that the Euro is used in Poland.
At the bottom of this web page is a handy little currency converter for Polish Zloty. Simply select the currency you will be exchanging for Polish Zloty and then it will create a Polish currency cheat sheet which you can print out and take with you on your holidays. The exchange rates are updated on a daily basis. There are several ways of buying Polish Zloty. 1/ Buying Zloty in the UK at travel agents, post office, banks etc. This is probably the easiest form of getting your Zloty and shopping around can be worth the effort. The Post Office offers competitive exchange rates on the Polish Zloty and foreign currency can be bought online at the Post Office's website here HERE 2/ Using an online company such as Travelex. This can also be convenient as it's possible to buy Polish Zloty over the internet and then simply collect the cash at one of the Travelex kiosks at the airport. My own experience has taught me that it's cheaper to buy Polish Zloty in Poland than it is to buy over here. On a recent trip I noticed that Travelex were offering 4.88 PLN for £ 1.00 whilst in Poland I could get 5.55 PLN for £ 1.00. 3/ Using ATM/Speedbank in Poland. Another easy option and the rates usually work out better than UK rates after commission. 4/ Using Kantors in Poland. A Kantor is a kiosk or small office that specialises in the buying and selling of foreign currency. You will find them in every town and city and they generally offer a better rate of exchange than in the UK. When in larger cities you will find that the exchange rate in kantors improves the further you move away from the city centre or tourist traps. Average prices in Poland Petrol prices in Poland: Unleaded fuel is averaging about 4.50 PLN per litre (equivalent to approx. £ 0.79 a litre). Eating out in Poland: Compared to UK prices then eating out in Poland is superb value for money. To illustrate this point we have an extract from the menu at Fukier's Restaurant in Warsaw (arguably one of the most famous restaurants in the capital). Starter-Carpaccio-tartare with cognac and parmesan cheese (chopped sirloin) Main-Polish veal cutlets with partridge egg and cucumber salad Dessert-Poppy-seed cake with almond and amaretto cream Total cost of this three course meal in one of Warsaw's top restaurants ? £ 26.00 ! For a three course meal at a mid priced restaurant then expect to pay between £ 10 - £ 20 a head. All prices exclude drinks of course.
Cigarette prices in Poland: Cigarette prices in Poland are some of the cheapest in the EU. A packet of 20 x Marlboro Red costs around 7 PLN which equates to approximately £ 1.25. |
