Bus

There are 2 lines which go to the city centre: 208 and 292, however, it is 292 which will get you near the hotel. The travel takes ca. 30 minutes, but the precise time depends on the traffic.

The timetables can be consulted here:

  • 292 (look at the „Dzien powszedni” [= work day] column)

Bus tickets can be bought from the ticket machines located at the bus stop and (usually) in the bus itself. The up-to-date price is 4 PLN: you will need „Strefa I+II Aglomeracja (= Zone 1+2) jednoprzejazdowy (= one journey) normalny (= standard rate)” ticket.

It should not, however, be confused with Airport Shuttle in the very front of the building. This in turn takes you to the train station.
