Travel - Warsaw is a relatively easy city to get around, so long as you know where you are going. If you don't it can be extremely confusing. I once spent half an hour in the under pass next to Metro Centrum just trying to escape..but not to worry, this mini-guide should provide you with the information you need to survive.

If you arrive in Warsaw by train at Dworzec Centralna (central station) you are already in the heart of the city. For those staying in city centre accomodation, the best option is to take a taxi from the main entrance. You could also use public transport with Metro Centrum just a few hundred metres walk and numerous buses and trams passing by. To find out bus and tram times and stops use this site ZTM.

For those who are arriving by plane there are two options for finding your way to your hotel. The first and the cheapest is to take the 175 bus direct from the airport. It stops a numerous locations on the journey from the airport including - Dworzec Centralna, Metro Centrum and Nowy Swiat, before finishing just a short walk from Stare Miasto (The Old Town). Tickets can be bought from electronic ticket machines on board, but remember to stamp your ticket straight after buying or it won't be valid. The second option is to travel by taxi but at the airport you do this at your own risk. You should not take a taxi from anyone who approaches you inside the airport and asks if you want a taxi. It is highly probable that they may be an unlicensed driver and will charge you an extortionate rate for the pleasure of illegally driving you to your destination. You can find normal taxis outside the main entrance and the price from the airport to the city centre should be around 50zl.
