Transportation

There are plenty of options to choose from to move around Warsaw. The city have well-developed network of buses, trams, suburban trains and metro.

It is worth noting that at night public transport (from 11 pm to 5 am) functions a little bit differently than during the day. Night bus lines, always prefixed with an “N”, run less frequently than the day ones. Most buses take off from Central Railway Station every 20, 30 or even 60 minutes! As to a ticket tariff – it is the same as usual.

If you look for the information about the buses, trams, metro or trains, you can easily check it with the jakdojade.pl website. It is also possible to download it to your phone for free.
