U.S. Reissues Travel Advisory for Poland
The Department of State issues travel advisories or "warnings," assessing the risk of traveling to countries around the globe.
Periodically, the State Department reviews these advisories to ensure they match conditions on the ground.
On June 5, 2025, the State Department announced that it had reviewed and reissued the travel advisory for Poland.
The advisory is good news for travelers to that country. In fact, since travel warnings to many European countries have been raised by the State Department, that leaves Poland as one of the safest.
According to the U.S. Department of State, travelers are urged to "exercise normal precautions in Poland." That's the lowest travel warning it gives. It's coded as a level one travel risk.
It comes at a time of heightened risk in some countries throughout Europe. In some of those travel warnings, the State Department has listed a host of concerns, including the potential for terrorist attacks. However, the Poland advisory does not contain any such listed risks.
As a point of comparison, Germany is listed as a level two travel risk. Travelers to Germany are urged to "exercise increased caution."
In late May, France also received a similar level two "exercise increased caution" warning due to a series of issues.
"Pickpocketing and phone thefts are common, especially in crowded places," the France advisory says. "Terrorist groups continue to plan possible attacks in France and may attack with little to no warning. There are also regular, peaceful protests and strikes in Paris and other cities throughout France."
Other European countries that are also at level two warnings include Denmark and the United Kingdom.
