Warm clothing and good boots are required in winter. It can drop well below zero.In summer it can be surprisingly warm, so make sure you have some light clothing. It can still get a little chilly in the evening though.Bring an umbrella just in case of rain.
There are four distinct seasons in Poland.Winters can get really cold. So bring some high boots, a warm hat, gloves, a warm scarf, and a nice warm coat. It's nice to always have a lot of clothes that can be layered.Spring and fall are a mix of rainy and chilly as well as nice, warm and sunny weather. Make sure you have an umbrella or a rain coat. You probably want to bring a variety of clothing (shorts as well as long pants and a jacket just in case).Summers are usually hot. Please be always prepared though.

In some discos you'll feel as if there's a wedding going on...Nowdays, you can buy very nice clothes here, so 'no big deal'.Use your common sense. No shortages anymore in Poland. You may want to take your medicine from home, though. In Europe, they have different names and preffer different brands. As with most stuff-electronics are less expensive to buy in America.For those needing to re-charge a battery, bring your voltage-current-converter with a narrow/multi plug. Many European socets are 'deep-inside' a wall.Some will make you wander..:}:}:}what the hell...#!@$@#!$# Bring what you normally bring, or buy it here Pre-pay your credit card before you leave home and cash advance it here. This way you'll get the best exchange rate.ATM machines're...
