  2. Check the voltage and frequency requirements of your device. In Poland, the standard voltage is 230 V and the frequency is 50 Hz.

  4. If your charger is not compatible with the Polish voltage and frequency, you will need a voltage converter. These converters can be purchased from electronics stores or travel supply stores.

Please note that in some public places like airports, train stations, or coffee shops, you may find USB charging stations or power outlets for charging your devices. Additionally, most modern laptops have built-in converters and can adapt to different voltage/frequency standards, so you may only need a plug adapter to charge your laptop in Poland.
