Yes, as a partial eclipse around 11:20 Polish time: from 23.5% of the Sun in Suwałki to 40.5% in Zakopane.

Do I need eclipse glasses?

Yes, for every partial phase. Use solar viewers that meet ISO 12312-2, or an indirect method such as a pinhole. Only inside the path, and only during totality, is it safe to look without a filter; put the glasses back on at the first flash of sunlight. Ordinary sunglasses do not protect your eyes.
