You can fly from three airports to get to Warsaw from London, with your options being the two more northern airports towards outer London and the very central airport of Heathrow. Here’s what you should know about each of them:

• London Heathrow Airport: This is London’s main and busiest airport, situated within a London Borough only 14 miles away from Central London. British Airways and LOT Polish Airlines fly from Heathrow to Warsaw.


• London Luton Airport: North of Central London by about 28 miles, London Luton Airport is hardly the largest airport around the capital city, nor is it the busiest, but it offers several Wizz Air flights to Warsaw.


• London Stansted Airport: With a reputation as the hub of budget airlines – namely Ryanair – it can get quite busy, despite being around 38 miles to the northeast of Central London.

London is famed for its public transport options, with there being plenty of bus, overground train, and underground train services that can get you to any of these airports or very close. Heathrow and Stansted have their own train stations on site, whereas London Luton has a frequent bus service from Luton Parkway Station to the terminals.

The two most commonly flown airports in Warsaw from London are Warsaw Modlin Airport and Warsaw Chopin Airport. In mid-2023, Warsaw Radom Airport opened to relieve the burden on the other airports, so it may become a more frequently visited destination in the coming years.

• Warsaw Chopin Airport: The largest and busiest airport in Poland is very well-connected to the main city but is around seven miles from the centre.
• Warsaw Modlin Airport: A fairly small airport, it mostly relies on Ryanair for all-year air traffic and is nearly an hour away from the city centre by car, but don’t let that influence your bookings when it comes to choosing where to stay in Warsaw, as it’s a smooth run.

If you’re set to fly into Warsaw Chopin Airport, you won’t struggle to connect to the city via train, bus, or taxi. Taxis take around 20 minutes and can be found on the first level outside of Arrivals. Bus 175, 188, 148, 331, and N32 can all be boarded at the buses and coaches terminal on the 'Arrivals' level.

Trains S2 and S3 run from the airport and will take you to the Warsaw Central Station on the Szybka Kolej Miejska line. Should you land at Warsaw Modlin Airport, you’ll need to look for a shuttle or a 50-minute taxi ride into the city.

Warsaw Chopin Airport and Warsaw Modlin Airport differ greatly in what they offer flyers, but that's what you'd expect when comparing a relatively small airport with the largest in Poland.

At Warsaw Chopin Airport, you'll have access to bus routes, train lines, and the car rental service. Should you want to get through the airport faster on your return trip, you can purchase Fast Track on the airport's website, and as you're getting through a bit faster than most, you could chain that with the Executive Lounge option, complete with self-service bars and comfy seats. On top of this, you'll find a whole bunch of shops, restaurants, duty-free stores, and more.

Warsaw Modlin Airport doesn't give you as many options when trying to work out how to get from Warsaw airport to the city centre, but in the terminals, you can expect your usual array of bars, restaurants, lounges, and duty-free, and other shops to fill the time.

May - September is considered the best time of the year to fly to Warsaw, as it provides you with the best possible weather, with June, July and August offering heights of 28 C and lows of 15 C. This is the ideal weather for discovering many of Warsaw's sights, such as The Royal Castle and the Palace of Culture and Science.

The Warsaw Philharmonic and the Grand Theatre are spectacular towering buildings that look truly magnificent when the sunlight highlights their columns, and the International Fryderyk Chopin Piano Competition is held every five years in the prestigious Philharmonic, in honour of Chopin himself.

With warmer temperatures and (hopefully!) clear skies, you'll be able to walk, bus, or cycle through the city and explore all of its tourist hotspots, as well as its cosy hidden nooks. Visiting in the milder months gives you the perfect opportunity to enjoy the sun and have lunch or a coffee, outside one of the many quaint cafes that line the scenic old town square.

The square is considered one of Warsaw’s highlights, lined with stunning 17th-century burgher houses, as is seen in Amsterdam. These buildings house several cafes, restaurants, shops and a variety of museums, including the Museum of Warsaw on the northern side of the square. At the centre of the square is a famous warrior mermaid statue, which dates back to 1855.

While the square, and the rest of the city, is beautiful in Summer, you may also want to visit in Winter, when the ice rink is lit up with the glow of lights and stalls for Warsaw's Christmas market. Whether you visit the city in sunshine or snow, you are guaranteed a huge range of places to see, shop, eat and drink in the culture-rich Warsaw.

There’s plenty to spend your złoty (the currency in Warsaw) on in the capital city of Poland. The top attraction for those wondering what to do in Warsaw tends to be the Old Town. You’ll spot the old city walls, Barbican, Royal Castle, and St. John’s Cathedral here, but there’s much more going on than historic buildings.

If you like browsing museums, there are plenty of buildings to check out and exhibitions where you can learn about historical events or check out the gift shop. You could go to the POLIN Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich for a look at the history of Polish Jews, Muzeum Powstania Warszawskiego or ‘Warsaw Uprising Museum’ or the Museum of Caricature E. Lipiński, which showcases the most prominent caricaturists in Poland.

You could venture to the Warsaw Zoological Garden to support endangered species breeding programs, get a slice of history, and see the real location of a Hollywood movie. At Warsaw Zoo, there is a gene bank for endangered species and the site is renowned for having launched the CITES Centre to support global conservation efforts. As for the site’s movie ties, The Zookeeper’s Wife recounts how its owners rescued Jews and hid them there during World War II.
