Better than most visitors expect: Polish networks invested heavily, 4G is near-universal and the major cities have 5G. Rural eastern Poland is the weaker area.

How much data you'll need

5GB for a week in one place, or about 10GB if you're city-hopping by train and checking connections constantly.

Where people go

  • Warsaw

    Rebuilt from photographs after 1945. The Old Town is a reconstruction.

  • Kraków

    Survived the war intact. The obvious base for Auschwitz.

  • Gdańsk

    Baltic port with a beautiful waterfront and a serious history.

What's on

Timings are month-level, because most of these move year to year.

  • Wianki

    June solstice

    Kraków

    Wreaths on the Vistula, fireworks, and a lot of people.

  • All Saints’ Day

    1 November

    Nationwide

    Cemeteries lit by hundreds of thousands of candles. Worth timing a trip around.
