Taxi
After you exit the Arrivals terminal you’ll see the licensed taxi area. The licensed taxis are: Ele Taxi, Sawa Taxi, and Super Taxi. Taxi tariffs differ between companies and should be clearly displayed in the car window. To get to the Warszawa Centralna train station you should pay around PLN 40, and to the marathon venue – around PLN 60.
Important! After you exit the Arrivals terminal, you may be approached by people offering a taxi to the city center. It’s best to ignore them since they usually have very high tariffs and proceed to the licensed taxi area.
Uber
If you like Uber, you can ride with them in Warszaw. Their cars stop in the Kiss & Fly area near the Departures terminal (level 1).
IMPORTANT – The Kiss & Fly zone is free of charge for only 7 minutes – so we recommend to order Uber after picking up your luggage.
Public transportation
We recommend using the Jak Dojade portal (eng: how to get to): https://jakdojade.pl/warszawa/trasa.
From the Warsaw Modlin Airport to the city center ( The Warsaw Modlin Airport is located around 35 kilometers from Warsaw)
