Bargaining - In Poland, it is rather not customary to bargain in local shops or chain stores, while in bazaars, car showrooms, or buying/renting a flat, it is standard practice.
Dress code - Poland is not a particularly style-conscious destination, though there are some undeniably trendy places in Warsaw, Kraków or Gdańsk. You can usually dress in T-shirts and shorts or jeans.
Temple entrance - Poles dress rather modest and smart clothes to church. If you want to see the interior of churches, it is enough to cover your shoulders and neckline and keep conversations to a minimum.
Home invitation - If we are invited to a Polish house, it is worth buying the hosts a gift. For a woman - flowers, for a man - alcohol. You should not come empty-handed. When entering the apartment immediately take off your shoes.
Personal space - Personal space in Poland is more or less at your fingertips. Friends usually go hand in hand.
Etiquette - The man is welcome to open the door for a woman or elderly person, help to carry heavy shopping or give way in public transport. Always address an elderly person or a stranger as madam or sir. Addressing 'you' is a sign of disrespect.
