Currency and payments
- The currency in Poland is the Polish Zloty (PLN or zł). 1 PLN is approximately 0.24 €
- In Poznań, as in most of Poland, debit and credit cards (including contactless) are widely accepted. There are many ATMs on the streets that allow you to withdraw cash. For practical reasons, we do not recommend carrying large amounts of cash.
- Shops and markets are open from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays, most retail outlets, especially the large ones, are closed. The most necessary products (drinks, snacks, ready meals to heat up at home) can be bought in Żabka chain stores (the Polish equivalent of 7-Eleven), they are available practically everywhere.
