Chopin Airport: SKM rail and Mazovian Railways
The fastest option during the day. From the station beneath the terminal, the S2 and S3 lines and Mazovian Railways reach Warszawa Śródmieście in about 20 minutes. A ticket costs a few PLN and you buy it from a machine. Services are frequent, though gaps appear at night, so check the timetable if you land late.
Best for: travelling light and paying the least.
Bus
City lines 175 and 188 run towards the centre, and the N32 night bus covers the small hours. Cheaper than the train, but slower and usually with a short walk with your suitcase at the end.
Best for: a tight budget with no rush.
Taxi from the rank
Taxis wait outside the terminal. A ride into the centre is usually 50 to 70 PLN (ca. 13 to 18 EUR), more in traffic or late in the evening, and the meter total is hard to predict in advance.
Best for: door to door with no planning ahead.
Private transfer at a fixed price
The driver waits in arrivals with a name sign, helps with your luggage and takes you straight to your hotel. The price is set in advance: from 200 PLN (ca. 50 EUR) per car from Chopin Airport (1 to 3 people), whatever the traffic or the hour. We track your flight number, so if the plane is late the driver still waits.

Book a transfer from ChopinAnd if you land at Modlin?
Modlin lies about 40 kilometres north of Warsaw. You can take a transfer bus to the centre, a train with a change, or a private transfer from 290 PLN (ca. 73 EUR) per car straight to your hotel. On a night arrival from Modlin the transfer often makes the most sense, as public connections are sparser.
What to choose?
Travelling alone, light and by day, take the SKM rail. Watching every PLN, take the bus. Luggage, children, a late flight or simply peace of mind, take a door to door transfer. You will find all the rates in the Warsaw price list.
