How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For travelers considering a week-long adventure in Poland, it's wise to budget adequately for a mid-range stay. A comfortable estimate for daily expenses would be around 300-400 PLN (approximately 65-90 USD), bringing the total to about 2,100-2,800 PLN (around 470-620 USD) for the week. Here’s a breakdown of typical daily expenses you might encounter:
Overall, while Poland offers good value for travelers, it's generally considered cheaper than visiting the United States and about on par with costs in Canada. In contrast, Poland tends to be more economical than the UK or Australia, making it an appealing destination for European explorations without breaking the bank.
For expats, understanding the local cost of living is crucial. Typical monthly living costs in Poland can range from 2,500-4,500 PLN (550-1,000 USD), depending on lifestyle choices and location, with urban centers like Warsaw or Kraków on the higher end. When it comes to banking, using local banks is advisable for day-to-day needs. Polish banks accept the majority of major international credit and debit cards, although it can be beneficial to withdraw cash for smaller purchases in local markets or cafes.
For sending and receiving money, platforms such as Wise and OFX often provide better rates than traditional banks for international transfers, making them a preferred choice for expats. Regarding currency exchange, it’s typically more advantageous to use these online services over exchanging money at local banks or currency exchange desks, as they tend to offer more favorable rates. However, having some cash on hand for daily expenses remains essential, so a balanced approach will serve expats well while transitioning into life in Poland.
