Poland - Local Customs
Outside of the major cities, locals are fairly conservative.
Poles of all ages are warm, friendly people, who will want to shake your hand and quite possibly share a vodka and some friendly conversation.
A 10% tip from tourists is the norm (locals will normally leave less).
Jaywalking, drinking in public places and smoking in non-designated areas are all generally frowned upon.

Along the polish coast there is a large number of military shooting ranges, which are mapped as forbidden areas. These areas however are only forbidden during exercises. Internet site https://bhmw.gov.pl/en/warnings/current/ has a map of the military activities and other navigational warnings. Additionally a PDF can be downloaded for each area with the dates the area is closed. The PDF is in Polish and English
