Good to know before you go
The currency is the Polish złoty, not the euro, though cards are widely accepted. The old town is compact and very walkable, and an excellent, inexpensive network of trams and buses covers the rest of the city, with ride apps like Bolt and Uber handy for late nights, so you won't need a car. Polish is the language, but English is common in the tourist centre.
