Find Cheap Flights to Poland and Book Your Next Journey Today

Winter is the cheapest time for airfare, featuring festive Christmas markets, snowy mountain landscapes in the south, and cozy traditional pierogi restaurants.

Spring brings mild temperatures and blooming parks, making it ideal for sightseeing without the heavy summer crowds or high peak-season prices.

Summer is peak season with warm weather, outdoor festivals, and vibrant nightlife, though flight prices and hotel rates are typically at their highest.

The 'Polish Golden Autumn' features stunning fall foliage, comfortable hiking temperatures, and decreasing flight prices after the summer rush.

Brazilian citizens do not need a visa for short stays in Poland for up to 90 days within a 180-day period for tourism or business. This is because both Brazil and Poland are part of reciprocal agreements within the Schengen Area. However, you must present a passport valid for at least three months beyond your planned departure date. It is also mandatory to have proof of sufficient funds, a return ticket, and travel insurance with a minimum coverage of 30,000 EUR. If you are asked at the border, having a Poland visa flight booking or a confirmed itinerary helps demonstrate your travel intent. Always check for updated health regulations or entry forms before departure. Compared to other European destinations, the process is straightforward for Brazilians, making it an accessible choice for a long-haul vacation from South America.

Poland boasts an extensive and affordable public transportation network that connects major cities like Warsaw, Krakow, and Gdansk. The PKP Intercity trains are the most efficient way to travel between regions, offering high-speed Pendolino services and budget-friendly TLK trains. For shorter distances, regional buses like FlixBus provide a cost-effective alternative. Within cities, you can rely on modern trams, buses, and in Warsaw, a clean and efficient metro system. Tickets can be purchased at kiosks, vending machines, or via mobile apps like Jakdojade. Taxis and ride-sharing services like Uber and Bolt are widely available and generally cheaper than in Western Europe. If you plan to explore the Tatra Mountains or the Masurian Lake District, renting a car offers the most flexibility, though parking in city centers can be challenging and expensive. Driving is on the right side, similar to Brazil.

Polish culture is deeply rooted in history and tradition, with a strong emphasis on hospitality. When meeting someone, a firm handshake and eye contact are standard. It is polite to use formal titles like Pan (Mr.) or Pani (Ms.) until invited to use first names. Poles value punctuality, so try to arrive on time for social or business appointments. When visiting churches, dress modestly and remain quiet, as Poland is a predominantly Catholic country. Tipping is customary in restaurants, usually around 10% of the bill for good service. Unlike the more exuberant social style in Brazil, Poles may appear reserved at first, but they are very helpful once a conversation starts. Learning a few basic phrases in Polish, such as Dzien dobry (Good morning) or Dziekuje (Thank you), is highly appreciated by locals and can enhance your travel experience significantly.

Polish food is hearty, comforting, and rich in flavors. You must try Pierogi, which are dumplings filled with meat, cheese, or sauerkraut. Another staple is Bigos, a traditional hunter's stew made with shredded cabbage and various meats. For a quick and cheap lunch, look for a Bar Mleczny (Milk Bar), which are government-subsidized cafeterias serving traditional home-cooked meals at very low prices. Zapiekanka, an open-faced toasted baguette with mushrooms and cheese, is the ultimate street food found in places like Krakow's Kazimierz district. To eat like a local, enjoy a heavy lunch (obiad) in the mid-afternoon and a lighter supper in the evening. For a unique experience, visit a local market to try Oscypek, a smoked cheese from the highlands. TICKETS.COM.BR recommends visiting a traditional bakery for Paczki (Polish donuts) to get the best local flavor and perfect photos for your trip.
