Transportation in Warsaw

Overview

Poland’s capital city has a well-developed and integrated public transportation system.  The trams, buses, and metro all share the same prices and tickets.

Trams

These are your best options for traveling across large distances in this enormous city.  They ply daily from 5 in the morning, to 11 at night.  Tickets are easily available at kiosks located around Warsaw.  You can buy long term tickets that are good for a single day, 3 days, or a week’s worth of traveling on your medical tourism trip.  Tram tickets can be hard to find in the evenings, so stock up on these during the daytime.

Buses

Buses ply a similar network of routes, and they also run between 5 am and 11 pm.  The layout of routes however, is confusing.  If you must travel by bus, ask for specific directions to get to your medical tourism facility and note down the numbers and addresses.

Taxis

These are the most convenient way of getting around town.  They are inexpensive to hire, with a fixed starting fare that increases with every mile. Always ensure that the meter is switched on, and only hire cabs that belong to one of the many licensed taxi companies.  You can book these by phone.  You can tell licensed taxis from the taxi number, the name of the company, and telephone number printed on a sticker on the front door.

Car Rentals

In a city with plenty of potholed streets, driving around can seem adventurous.  If you absolutely must drive a private car on your medical tourism visit, avoid rush hour traffic which is generally between 7-9 am, and 3-7 pm.  However, hiring a rental car is the perfect way to explore attractions outside Warsaw in the countryside.

Walking

This is a huge city, so walking is recommended only if you have to travel from point A to point B in specified parts of town.  Cycling is not advised due to the congestion and potholes.
