Can anyone provide a rough estimate of how many PLNs I can expect to
spend
per day in Gdansk, assuming no shopping, i.e. just transportation fares
and
meals. I can always withdraw more, but I'd like to have the rough sum
ready
in advance. Thanks, Asaf

I've found ATMs give me great international rates - my account is in
the
US with Bank of America, by the way, so your mileage may vary. I
arrived at
the airport today and used an ATM in the main airport lobby, all the
way on
the other side from the arrivals gate (forgot the bank name). I
withdrew
200 PLN, which according to Google is $60.61 USD. I checked my bank
account
and found it charged $61.44, plus the $1 fee my own bank charges for
all ATM
withdraws. Not bad, considering that I was going to change some cash exchange and got offered just a little over half that rate. Stuart

The airport has a currency exchange:

There is an ATM in the airport, if you can withdraw money from another account.
The Airport bus is said to take euros, as well as PLN:
