Getting from Poznan Airport to Poznan Main Train Station

Poznan Glowny, also known as Poznan Main, is the main transportation hub in Poznan, Poland, connecting the city to both domestic and international destinations via an extensive train and bus network. Built in 1879, the building provides modern facilities to millions of passengers a year while still showcasing its rich history through its neoclassical architecture.

Whether you choose to travel from Poznan Airport to Poznan Glowny by airport taxi or public bus, you can reach your destination fairly quickly and affordably. Travelling by taxi takes as little as 10 to 15 minutes, depending on traffic, and will set you back around €7 (PLN30) for up to 4 people if you choose a local cab. The public bus option is even cheaper at just €1.40 (PLN 6) per person but it does have a longer journey time of 23 minutes, and if you’re travelling in a group, the taxi option works out nearly as affordable anyway.

How much does the bus cost?

The public transport ticket system in Poznan can be a little complicated since you either need to purchase a ticket based on how many stops you pass through or a time-limited ticket where you need to complete your journey within a specific timeframe.

Convenience

Due to the Poznan public transport ticket system and scheduling, the bus option from Poznan Airport to the train station does require some planning, so while it is the cheapest option, it isn’t the most convenient.

A less complicated alternative, especially if you’re travelling with children, bulky luggage or late at night, is to arrange a private transfer to take you directly to your accommodation, so you can simply relax and let someone else do the planning for you.

Editor’s Note

If you plan on staying in Poznan for a few days, a 24-hour or weekly ticket may be more cost-effective than a timed ticket, and can be used on both for bus and tram journeys within the city.

Useful Tips

Once purchased, tickets need to be validated in the ticket machine when boarding.
Bus tickets cannot be purchased from the driver.
