How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Basically this is my plan below:
28th-30th Gdansk (Day excursion to Malbork 29th)
30th -1st Warsaw
1st-4th Krakow (Day excursion to Auschwitz on 2nd)
I already have accommodation and travel sorted so how much money would you recommend I bring with me? Thanks! -

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Krakow is amazing but be careful of drinking scams. They give you one price and then charge you 10 fold. There a 2 free tours of the old town and the Jewish quarter and its really good. Also its really reallt cheap.

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Well to give some prices. 1 pint is £2.50. A full evening meal costs about a fiver. About £10-£15 a night at a hostel. £35 for a historical tour from Auschwitz including travel and lunch. Some of the tours are free though you can make donations. Plus take some spending money. Up to you how much you take so it's your choice based on the prices for other things.

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?It's more like 5 Zlotys to one British pound? (Sorry no pound symbol, in Canada...) I was in Poland in October and it hasn't changed since then....I agree with your cost of an full evening meal (a few courses, with drinks) at 5 pounds though, or less. Depends where you are, but 5 pounds is a good figure.(Original post by Guru Jason)
As above- £1 is about 2.50zloty. -

Go here. Twenty zloty for your fill, personally went twice and had zurek and bigos. Massive portions. Can't recommend it enough.
Staff speak great English as well. -

EDIT: Just checked a currency converter. You are right, my bad. -

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Hmm, pretty sure you can get a beer for a LOT cheaper than that, if you venture away from the main square!(Original post by Guru Jason)

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Yeah, Im sure its possible but if you want to avoid the scams then it may be safer to stick to the main square.(Original post by EssexDan86)

Re: How much money would I need for six days in Poland?Or drink in places locals go to, as opposed to places where conmen know tourists are found and easy to scam.(Original post by Guru Jason)
