Getting to Warsaw

Most flights to Warsaw land at Chopin Airport (www.lotnisko-chopina.pl), about 10 km from the city centre.

You can reach the city centre by public transportation:

  •  bus number 175 runs to the centre and around the Old Town (Stare Miasto)
  • bus numbers 148 and 188 run to the other side of the river, to Praga, Grochów and Gocław
  • night bus number N32 runs to the city centre
  • suburban train line S2, S3 or RL – more information

Transport tickets are required on all lines.

A taxi rank in front of the Terminal offers selected and reliable taxi companies: Ele Taxi. Avoid people in the Arrivals Hall encouraging you to use random taxis. They are often unlicensed and their fees are several times higher than registered and legal taxis.
A multilevel car park is available at the airport where you can leave your car for several hours or days.

Warsaw Modlin Airport (www.modlinairport.pl), is located around 35 km north-west from the city centre.

Access to the city from the airport:

  • By train
    Koleje Mazowieckie trains depart from Modlin railway station, which can be reached by a special airport bus that leaves from the airport terminal at times coordinated with the train timetable. A special airport ticket that costs 19 PLN can be purchased in the airport terminal. More information
    Estimated journey time: 1 hour 15 minutes
  • By taxi
    The airport recommends one taxi company: Taxi Modlin. Transfer to the centre of Warsaw range from 100 to 250 PLN (depending on the district.)

CAUTION! We strongly advise against using taxis offered by random people in the Arrivals Hall and highly recommend using licensed taxi companies.

Warsaw has three large railway stations with international and domestic long-distance connections:

  • Warszaw Centralna, Aleje Jerozolimskie 54
    Located in the heart of the city, it is reachable from all districts of Warsaw.
  • Warszawa Zachodnia, Aleje Jerozolimskie 144
    Thanks its location right next to the international bus station, it’s a good point for people taking long-distance (both national and international) buses.
