Travelers no longer need to present proof of COVID-19 vaccination or negative test results upon entry, as all related restrictions have been lifted. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a Level 2 advisory regarding global polio, urging international travelers to ensure their vaccinations are up to date and to take enhanced precautions when traveling abroad.
While violent crime is rare in Poland, travelers should be mindful of petty crimes such as pickpocketing, muggings, and theft from vehicles, particularly in major urban centers like Warsaw. It's advisable to keep personal belongings secure, remain vigilant in crowded areas, and use common sense to minimize risks. There have also been recent demonstrations in Poland—these are usually peaceful, but travelers should avoid large gatherings and remain aware of their surroundings, according to a demonstration alert issued by the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw in late May 2025.
If you plan to drive in Poland, be aware that the country has the fourth-highest road fatality rate in the European Union. Driving conditions can be challenging due to narrow, poorly lit, and frequently repaired roads, especially during the summer. Many roads are shared with pedestrians and cyclists, and one-fourth of traffic fatalities involve pedestrians. Driving after dark increases these risks. American travelers must carry both a valid U.S. driver's license and an International Driving Permit, which must be obtained before arrival, as it cannot be issued in Poland. For stays exceeding six months, a Polish driver's license is required.
Public transportation throughout Poland is efficient, affordable, and generally safe. When using buses or trams, travelers should purchase and validate their tickets immediately to avoid fines. For taxis, only use those marked with a company name and phone number, ensure the driver’s license is visible, and confirm use of the meter. At airports, use only registered taxis from official stands to avoid unlicensed services. Ride-sharing apps like Uber, iTaxi, and Freenow are legal and growing in popularity, though some restrictions may apply in certain city areas.
Emergency services in Poland can be reached by dialing 112 for police, fire, or medical emergencies. Visitors should stay informed by monitoring local news, following any advisories from their home government or embassies, and maintaining awareness of their surroundings.
With attention to routine safety measures and a bit of preparation, travelers will find Poland’s historic cities, vibrant culture, and natural beauty accessible and enjoyable.
