Most shops, restaurants museums accept credit cards, the most popular are VISA, MasterCard, and Maestro. American Express and Diners may not be accepted as well as traveller’s cheques.
IMPORTANT: A flow of tourists makes pickpocketing and petty theft popular. Make sure your wallet, mobile, camera and expensive jewellery is out of reach of pickpockets. Bags should be zipped closed, do not leave them on the table or chairs.
Poland is no different from other countries but the risk is rather medium than high.
