Depending on your phone operator and the network you roam into, you may want to try one of these: - dial the number as seen, e.g. 061 888 0000- if unsuccessful, omit the initial zero, e.g. 61 888 0000- if still unsuccessful, omit the leading zero, dial +48 before the number, e.g. +48 61 888 0000

 

The phone numbers shown on this page are presented in the national format. All local numbers must be dialled with area codes, if you encounter a seven digit number, add '61' before the number.

Poznań is generally a safe city, with levels of crime comparable to elsewhere in central Europe.

talk

In the city center, you will have no problem getting by with English, but outside of it English is quite limited. Even at the train station, you might find that you need to communicate with store vendors using body language note: the international train office employees do all speak fluent English. If you need directions, try to ask young people who look like they might attend university. If you speak Russian, try talking to older people many of who still speak it at least basically. Despite Poznan's proximity to Germany, very few people speak any German, and if they do, it is often nothing more than a few words.
