Transport
TAXI

Alternatively you can travel on you own: Please take an official airport company taxi (MPT, SAWA, MERC) and try to avoid obstructive taxi drivers at the arrivals hall. The recommended 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 PLN (10 EUR). With unauthorized drivers the price may rise up to 120 PLN (30 EUR).
Bus

There is a bus stand outside right in front of the taxi stand. You should take the 175 bus which goes almost all the way to the Old Town. You can purchase a ticket from the driver (around 3 zl) or inside the airport building (2.4 zl). There is no additional fee for travelling with large bags and pets (from 01.07.2004) - it is good to know as the ticket inspectors used to like this bus to collect fines and not having a ticket for a large bag gave them a good excuse to collect some cash. The last bus stop "Plac Pilsudskiego" is your stop. From there you can either catch another bus (180, 122, 195, 116) and continue for 2 more bus stops until "Kapitulna" stop or take a 10 minute walk to the Old Town.
Transport to the Old Town from the train station
BUS If you cross the main road (Al. Jerozolimskie) by an underpass and go to the bus stand outside the Marriott hotel you can catch the 175 bus. Purchase a ticket from the driver (around 3 zl) or inside the train station building (2.4 zl). The stop to get off is Plac Pilsudskiego. Read above for more details.
