I’ve read stuff on Reddit in the past about people charging your card multiple times or other general dodginess. I think I’ll try not to get too drunk as one defence but being informed would be useful too. Anyone got some tips?

    I am Polish but I have not lived in Poland for long time. There are some comments of people being scammed etc. which I have no reasons to doubt.

    However, on the other hand, UK stag dos in Poland (especially in Krakow) are notorious for being a nuisance for the locals. I feel like as long as you and your mates behave like just a decent bunch lof lads without causing disturbances and issues and are careful of potential scams (which would be easier of course if you are not absolutely wasted and/or drugged) then you should have a great night. Which I hope you do as Kraków is a great city, in fact if you have time to actually walk around and visit it I would strongly recommend it.

    Have fun!

      Thanks man, hopefully it will be fun.

      The guys are doing a walking tour on Friday without me so they will get to explore the city but I will probably miss out mostly.

      Luckily I think everyone speaks English well enough for us to be good on the Polish but cheers for the offer.

      I feel like being drunk is absolutely fine, since Poles do it to. In addition, Kraków has a big student population so people are used to going out, etc.

      As long as people don’t get raudy and disturbe others with their shouting on the streets and causing annoyance I am sure you will be perfectly fine and have a great time.

    I have never been but I did hear a story on a podcast recently about a guy that got drunk in a strip club.

    The Matron or whatever kept coming over every now and again with a shot of vodka for him and urging him to drink it, then charged him on his card for it.

    Every single time she was charging him for a round of drinks for all the girls, at £250 a time.

    So be wary of that I guess.

    Be really careful if you go to a strip club. They are known to drug you and steal your money depending on the club.
