Electrical voltage is the same in all European countries (240 Volt/50 Hz), so you don't need to consider anything if travelling from other European countries. Although guests coming from the UK will need an adaptor as the plug is different in Poland than in the UK. You can find this in any shop selling electrical goods.
If travelling from other than the European countries, please make sure you take into account possible differences in Voltage.
