Polish traditions and customs

Each country has its own culture and rules of etiquette, manners and customs that make them unique. Poland is no different and Poles are really attached and proud of their traditions.

There are a lot of customs shared with other European countries, Christmas tree, Easter bunny and April’s Fools Day to name a few. At the same time Poland has its unique festivities like Andrzejki (Polish St. Andrew Day) or All Saints’ Day. Participating in any of those special days is a great way to immerse in Polish culture and experience new things.

Here it’s your ultimate guide to Polish traditions. We hope you’re going to enjoy it as much as we do.
