About this listen
There are some practical considerations for those planning a trip. Poland is known for its rich culture, vibrant cities, and historic sites, and there are no longer any COVID-19 entry requirements or related restrictions in place. Proof of vaccination or a negative test is not required to enter the country, making travel procedures straightforward and hassle-free. Nevertheless, travelers, especially those at higher health risk, should be mindful that respiratory illnesses such as COVID-19 are still circulating globally.
When it comes to personal safety, violent crime remains rare in Poland, but petty crime, such as muggings, carjackings, and theft from vehicles, can occur in large cities including Warsaw. It’s advised to keep valuables secure, remain alert in crowded areas, and use common sense precautions. Travelers should call 112 for all emergency services, including police, fire, or medical assistance.
Driving in Poland requires careful attention. The country has one of the highest road fatality rates in the European Union. Roads outside major cities are often narrow, poorly lit, and may be under repair, especially in rural areas. Driving after dark is considered particularly risky. Travelers must have a valid driver’s license as well as an International Driving Permit obtained prior to arrival; U.S. citizens, for example, cannot acquire an IDP once in Poland. Public transportation is widely regarded as safe, reliable, and inexpensive. When using taxis, use only licensed vehicles from recognized companies and avoid unregistered or unofficial cabs, particularly at airports.
Recent news in Poland does not highlight any immediate events or threats that would affect personal safety, but listeners should remain informed by monitoring local news and following any demonstration alerts. For example, the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw occasionally issues demonstration alerts, so it’s good practice to stay updated during your stay.
Health care facilities in major Polish cities are of good quality, but travelers should ensure they have international health insurance and know how to access medical services. Travel authorities recommend having policies that cover unexpected medical needs and evacuation.
In summary, Poland is an attractive, culturally rich, and largely secure destination for international visitors in 2025. Authorities and travel experts continue to recommend exercising normal precautions, keeping personal belongings secure, and being aware of your surroundings for a safe and enjoyable travel experience.
