When
you come directly out of the arrivals area there will be taxi
drivers who ask you immediately if you want a taxi. They are
probably best avoided. Take rather a taxi from one of the
official stands. They are MPT TAXI, SAWA TAXI and MERC TAXI.
These companies, although not the cheapest will not cheat
you. Basically always get a taxi with a logo or name on top
as these taxis are registered to companies that are accountable
for their drivers actions. The price from the airport to the
old town (tariff 1 by day) is around 40 zl(10 USD). With unauthorized
drivers the price may rise up to 120 PLN (40 USD).
Alternatively we can arrange everything for you.
You need to send a mail with estimated arrival time and flight
number. Once we have this information it will be phoned through
to "Merc Taxi" located just through the arrival gate in Warsaw's
airport. The flat rate is 15 Euro in the daytime. MORE
ABOUT OUR PICK-UP SERVICE |
|
|
|
There
is a bus stand outside right in front of the taxi stand. You
should take the 175 bus it goes all the way to the old town.
You can purchase a ticket from the driver (2.40zl) or inside
the airport building (advisable if you do not speak Polish).
If you have a large bag you should buy a ticket for that also
as the ticket inspectors like this bus to collect fines and
not having a ticket for a large bag gives them a good excuse
to collect some cash. Your destination stop is Miodowa.

Arriving
in Warsaw by car. |
|
From
south/west (from Katowice, Wrocław or Kraków): |
Always
try to get to Aleje Jerozalimskie (a very long avenue) and
drive eastwards. You can get to this street along Al. Krakowska
(starts at suburb Janki) and then Grojecka. Driving along
Aleje Jerozolimskie you pass the Palace of Culture on your
left and at Rondo (roundabout) R. Dmowskiego (there is tall
Novotel hotel on your right and the large department store
GALERIA CENTRUM on your left). On this roundabout you turn
left and go along Galeria Centrum and Empik (on your right)
up to McDonalds (direction north). At the McDonald's turn
right into Swietokrzyska, go through three successive streetlights
and at the crossroads with Krakowskie Przedmieście/Nowy Swiat
you turn left (it is behind the large ministery building on
your left) into famous Krakowskie Przedmieście avenue. Continue
up to the Bristol Hotel and the Zamkowy Square (with a huge
red castle). You need to find a parking space somewhere in
Podwale Street. Remember to buy a parking ticket for your
car!. Our office is in on the main Square in the Old Town,
next to Barssa Restaurant. |
|
From
West (from Łódź or Poznań): |
This
is easy as you go always straight: Warszawska Street turns
into Gorczewska and finally merges with Aleja Solidarności.
You cross Plac Bankowy and shortly afterwards turn right to
Bielanska to get to the Theatre Square. At the square you
turn left and from Senatorska Street and go straight on to
Podwale Street. |
|
From
North and East: (from Gdansk, Mazury, Białystok or Lublin): |
Like
coming from west, you also have to get to Al. Solidarności,
from Gdansk through Marymoncka and Alej Jana Pawła II. From
Plac Bankowy the same instructions as before. If you have
to cross the river (you are coming from the east) just drive
until you reach Aleja Solidarności, cross the Vistula River,
go through the tunnel under the Plac Zamkowy. Then immediately
drive up to your right (Kapucynska) and in Miodowa (the main
street) turn right and shortly after turn left into Senatorska
and when you reach Zamkowy Square (with a red castle) turn
left in Podwale Street. |
