Timetable

Nightclubs are central to Polish nightlife, particularly in big cities like Warsaw, Krakow and Wrocław. Nightclubs generally open around 10pm and stay open until 4 or 5am. However, it's not uncommon to find clubs that extend their opening hours into the wee hours of the morning, especially on Fridays and Saturdays when the crowds are at their peak.

Budget & Tips

The price of admission to a nightclub generally varies between 10 and 50 zł (about €2 to €11). On special events or theme nights, entry and drink prices can be higher. Speaking of drinks, you should know that their prices are quite affordable in Polish nightclubs. The price of a beer or glass of wine is usually between 10 and 20 zł (around €2 to €4), while cocktails can cost between 20 and 40 zł (around €4 to €9).

Night transport

The country's night-time transport networks are fairly well developed. They are, of course, particularly well-developed in the major cities. Subway trains generally run until midnight on weekdays, with longer opening hours at weekends, as do streetcars. Night buses then take over at the end of the service.

Age restrictions

The legal age for buying and consuming alcohol in Poland is 18. Some establishments may ask for identification to verify the age of customers (although this is rare in common practice). Establishments have the right to refuse service to anyone who is already intoxicated. Please note that it is forbidden to consume alcohol in parks, at bus stops, on the street or on public transport. This prohibition is strict, and you could be fined if you do not respect it.

Smokers

Smoking is prohibited indoors. Some establishments have courtyards, terraces and dedicated smoking rooms.

The possession, purchase and sale of narcotics are strictly forbidden in Poland. Polish drug laws are strict, and penalties for possession or trafficking can be very severe. We strongly advise against buying, consuming or transporting narcotics during your stay. Note, however, that CBD is legal in Poland, as long as it is derived from industrial hemp and contains no more than 0.2% THC.

Tourist traps

It's common for nightclubs to employ touts. They're harmless and often offer you a free drink. However, the best nightclubs obviously don't need them.
