Travel
By train/road
Poznań is located about half way between Warsaw (280 km) and Berlin (240 km), and there are good, frequent rail connections between those two cities and Poznań.
Check your connections using the timetables of the Polish Railways [https://rozklad-pkp.pl/] (for connections from Poznań, please select the main station, Poznań Główny, if requested; the station to select in Warsaw is Warszawa Centralna; in Berlin, Hauptbahnhof or Ostbahnhof). You can also consult the German Railways route planner [https://www.bahn.de/].
By Air
Poznań’s Ławica airport has frequent daily connections with Warsaw (LOT Polish Airlines), as well as Munich and Frankfurt (LOT and Lufthansa) and Copenhagen (SAS).
Poznań is also served by low-cost carriers, Wizzair (e.g. London Luton) and Ryanair (e.g. London Stansted, Barcelona Girona, Budapest, Milan Bergamo, Rome Ciampino, Stockholm Arlanda etc.).
From the airport to the city centre
There are reliable bus connections that take you to the city centre. Airport taxis are a bit of a risk, Uber or any other app service is recommended. Please notice that you need to walk 150-200 metres to the left of the Arrivals exit to the Kiss&Fly zone where Uber and other taxi companies stop free of charge. Make sure the driver knows you’d like to meet them at Kiss&Fly
Money
The złoty (abbreviated PLN or zł) is the official currency in Poland. The approximate average exchange rate (07 Jul 2023) is 4.49 zloty to a Euro (or 4.12 zloty to a US Dollar).
Electricity
Polish sockets are standard European sockets, with a voltage of 230 V/50Hz. All visitors coming from countries using appliances/plugs that do not work with such sockets/voltages (especially American and British guests) are advised to bring adapters.
Telephones
All European mobiles will work without problems, and European Union users will be able to take advantage of their home rates rather than roaming. High speed internet is available throughout the urban area but charges may apply for visitors from outside the European Union; please check with your operator to avoid unexpected costs.
Weather
Polish weather is usually agreeable in May, with temperatures of around 20 Centigrade during the day. With worse luck, a raincoat and umbrella may find some use. Current forecast available here [https://www.wunderground.com/weather/pl/poznań].
