"It is important to be mindful of local customs and etiquette when visiting Warsaw. It is considered impolite to be late for social engagements, so it is important to arrive on time. It is also important to dress modestly and conservatively, especially when visiting religious sites. It is also important to be respectful of the local language and to avoid speaking loudly in public. Additionally, it is important to be aware of the local customs regarding physical contact, as it is considered inappropriate to touch someone without their permission. Finally, it is important to be aware of the local laws and regulations, and to avoid engaging in any activities that are illegal in Poland," said a member in Warsaw, Poland.
