Qibla direction in Poland
The Qibla in Poland lies towards the south-east. Depending on the city the angle from true north ranges from 137.4° in Bogatynia to 152.4° in Sokółka, and the Kaaba is between 3,492 km and 4,207 km away. The table gives the exact bearing for 332 cities.
Stand facing true north, then turn clockwise by the angle of your city. A phone compass shows magnetic north, which in Poland can differ from true north by a few degrees; our Qibla finder corrects this automatically when your phone reports true heading.
Why the Qibla changes across the country
Between the cities in the table the Qibla angle varies by 15.0°. Sanok is the closest to the Kaaba (3,492 km) and Świnoujście the farthest (4,207 km). The farther apart two cities are, the more their bearings to Makkah diverge, which is why the angle of the capital, 147.6°, should not be used everywhere.
Inside a mosque, the mihrab already shows the Qibla. Elsewhere, a compass app, the position of the sun or our Qibla finder can be used; scholars agree that facing the general direction is enough when the exact angle cannot be known.
