Some practical tips
In the winter it is good to remember to pack a good warm pair of boots which can handle the city slob, icing and the salt used to de-ice the streets here. A pair of gloves and a warm hat will come in handy even on your way to a taxi or a city bus. The frost can really bite here.
 
In the summer, an umbrella and a  windproof raincoat will be your best friends. While the Polish summer is rather warm and friendly, it does have a tendency to surprise with a rain shower or quite brisk breezes.
