As of June 2025, Poland is considered one of the safest travel destinations in Europe, according to the United States Department of State, which maintains a Level 1 Travel Advisory for the country. This means travelers are advised to exercise normal precautions during their visit. There are currently no entry requirements related to COVID-19, so visitors are not required to show vaccination proof or negative test results. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued a Level 2 advisory for global polio, urging all international travelers to ensure their vaccinations, including polio and measles, are up to date due to recent outbreaks in Europe.

Despite the ongoing conflict in neighboring Ukraine, which has caused an increased flow of Ukrainian refugees into Poland, the country's major cities remain vibrant and welcoming. Heightened security measures are in place at border crossings and transport hubs to manage this influx, but these changes have not negatively affected the usual tourist experience. Public gatherings and occasional demonstrations may occur, particularly in cities like Krakow, so travelers should stay aware of local news for updates on any scheduled protests or events.

Poland is recognized for its low crime rates, efficient public transportation, and hospitality. Public buses, trams, and trains are reliable and provide safe options for getting around. If you plan to use taxis, always choose vehicles with official company markings and ensure the driver displays a license and uses a fare meter. App-based ride sharing services such as Uber and iTaxi are legal and widely used. At airports, use only taxis from designated stands instead of accepting unsolicited rides.

Travelers intending to drive in Poland should be aware that the country has the fourth-highest road fatality rate in the European Union. Roads are often narrow, under repair, and can be poorly lit, with a significant number of fatalities involving pedestrians. Driving at night is especially hazardous. U.S. citizens must carry both their U.S. driver's license and an International Driving Permit, which must be obtained before arriving in Poland. If your stay exceeds six months, a Polish driver’s license is required. For those who prefer not to drive, public transportation offers a safer alternative.

General safety tips for visitors include keeping personal belongings secure, remaining vigilant in crowded areas, and knowing that the emergency number for police, fire, or medical assistance is 112. As always, exercising common sense and staying informed of local regulations will ensure a pleasant and trouble-free experience while exploring Poland’s rich cultural heritage and scenic beauty.
