MONEY
Poland's national currency is the złoty and is circulated in 10, 20,
50, 100 and 200 notes and 1, 2 and 5 złoty coins. One złoty equals
100 groszy. Cash payments are still most popular in Poland. At the
same time, major credit cards are accepted practically everywhere
except the smallest outlets. But nobody pays by check.
The best way, to get złotys is to use a debit or credit card at one
of the many ATM machines (bankomat). There are many exchange offices
(kantor), where the currency can be exchanged or you can exchange
your money in the bank. |
TIME
CET as Berlin or Vienna, i.e. GMT/UTC plus one hour. |
