Getting into Town

Bus: The bus terminal is on the arrivals level alongside the airport in front of the terminal’s south pier. The five public buses transporting passengers from the airport to various parts of the city, including the city centre, are Nos. 148, 175, 188, 575 and the N32 night bus. The night bus runs between the airport and the central railway station between 11:09pm and 4:39am. The daytime buses tend to run from 4:35am and 11:27pm, but each bus has a slightly different schedule. Buses with numbers between 400 and 499 are fast buses, while the rest are regular buses. Bus tickets are calculated according to zones, tickets start at PLN 2.80 (about £0.60).

Taxis: The three taxi companies recommended by the airport are Ele Sky Taxi, Super Taxi and Sawa Taxi. Reputable taxis generally display their tariffs. The approximate fare from Warsaw Airport into the city centre is PLN 40 (about £8). Taxis can be found by approaching the taxi desk in arrivals next to the information desk.

Car Parking

The airport has four parking areas: P1, P2, P3 and P4. P1 and P2 are located in the multilevel short-stay parking garage. P3 is a short-stay, outdoor car park, while P4 is outdoors and is for passengers wishing to park for longer periods. Fees for P1 and P2 are PLN 8 (£1.60) per hour for the first three hours and PLN 10 (£2) per hour thereafter up to a daily rate of PLN 74 (£15). Lot P3 is slightly cheaper and starts at PLN 6 (about £1) per hour for the first three hours. Like P1 and P2 it is PLN 10 (£2) per hour for each hour after the initial three hours. Daily rates are PLN 68 (£14) and are charged after eight hours. The long-stay car park, P4, costs PLN 10 per hour for the first five hours and thereafter the daily rate applies. The first day’s parking is PLN 50 (£10), but the rate decreases to PLN 30 (approximately £6) for two to three days, PLN 15 (£3) for up to seven days and PLN 10 per day thereafter. P1 and P2 are directly across from the terminal and P3 and P4 are opposite the bus station, which is alongside the terminal in front of the terminal’s south pier.

Information Desks

There are a couple of information desks on the arrivals level, some cater for transferring passengers as the transfer process can be a little tricky, particularly when working out Schengen and non-Schengen zones. The best information desk to use in arrivals is the one located near the exit and next to the currency exchange and taxi desk. The information desk on the departures level is centrally located near the escalators. Some staff members speak great English, while others are much less fluent.
