    Zloty would seem to be a good idea, what with it being the local currency.

    Zloty innit? http://www.xe.com/ucc/convert/?Amount=1&From=GBP&To=PLN

    I went about 4 years ago. Liked what I saw of it (Warsaw), but was working so didn’t see much.

    For best exchange rate take english pounds and exchange to polish zloty at one of the many exchange shops that are there (Krakow). I did this a year ago for a stag do and got a free meal out of the difference in exchange rates, just remember to ask for a receipt and check the print out and cash given before you leave the shop.

    Zloty,which then is subdivided into 100 groszy, most things work in zloty, but be prepared for carrying a small of groszy for little bits and bobs.

    I was in Deblin a week or so ago and it was bloody freezing still.

    “z?oty (pronounced zwoty)”

    Not In Poland it’s not, it’s pronounce “zloty” or “ZWAH-tee” Depemding on where you are.in most places, either will work, If you say Zwoty, they’ll just look at you confused regardless of what some online translation saftware says.:)

    Take sterling, some cash and a VISA debit card. Cash can be exchanged at currency exchange shops/kiosks, the card can be used in shops. Unless you spend a bomb the benefits of carrying cash will be negligible, whilst the risks far greater.
    FAIF It’s just another country, in a way it’s the same as Germany or France were before everybody had Euros.
