Getting from Poznan airport to the city centre

Poznan Airport (Lawica Airport) is located about 7 kilometres west of Poznan city centre. This is the only airport near Poznan, and although it’s not the biggest airport in Poland, it has been serving more passengers every year. The airport is conveniently connected to the old town by public transport. However, you need to change from bus to tram on the way.

Alternatively, you may use Uber or Bolt. Their price depends on the current demand, but they are usually much cheaper than taxis.

We also have a discount code lqnfsq07p for you if you decide to travel by FreeNow. It is an official taxi that works like Bolt or Uber. If you enter this code in FreeNow App you will receive a voucher for 20 PLN (about 5 EUR).

If you are considering coming to Poland through other airports, read our articles on getting from the airport to the centre of Gdansk, Warsaw, Krakow and Wroclaw.

During the day

There is a bus (route 159, direction “Poznan Glowny”) going from Poznan Airport to the main train station in Poznan. It departs every 20-30 minutes. To go to the city centre, you need to get off the bus one stop before the train station (Rondo Kaponiera bus stop). There you need to change to the tram that goes towards the city centre (lines 2, 5, 8, 13). The whole trip should take no more than 45 minutes, so a 45-minute ticket (6 PLN) should be enough. There are two more buses (177, 148), but they don’t depart from the airport. To board them, you need to get to the bus stop “Malechowska” located about 300 meters from the airport.

Getting to city centre by taxi

iTaxi is the taxi company recommended by the airport. To take that taxi you need to install their app from Google Store or Apple Store, and use it to book the taxi. Taxi from the airport to the city centre should cost about 20-30 PLN, but always remember to check the price list on the taxi rear door. Uber or FreeNow are usually better and safer, as you always know the price before entering the vehicle. Avoid non-corporate taxis, as most frauds are reported after riding with them.
