From Modlin to Warsaw: train, bus or taxi?

Rest Hostel is a 3-minute walk from Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki station, so you can reach Warsaw by direct train. Here's a comparison of the most popular options.

Koleje Mazowieckie train (our pick)

• From Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki station (3 min walk from the hostel) Koleje Mazowieckie trains run to Warsaw, including Warszawa Centralna.
• The ride to central Warsaw usually takes about 40–45 minutes.
• Trains run all day, more often at peak times.

If you're going straight from the airport to Warsaw, you can buy the Koleje Mazowieckie airport ticket: it covers the airport – Modlin station bus, the train to Warsaw and Warsaw public transport (zone 1, for a set time). To reach the hostel from the airport, take the bus to Modlin station and the train one stop to Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki – see How to get from Modlin Airport. Buy it from machines, ticket offices or apps (e.g. the KM app, Jakdojade, SkyCash, Koleo).

Direct bus from the airport

Direct buses also run from the terminal to central Warsaw (e.g. ModlinBus to the Palace of Culture area) – handy if you're starting at the airport rather than the hostel.

Taxi

A taxi from the Modlin area to central Warsaw usually takes about 35–40 minutes depending on traffic. The most comfortable option, but the most expensive.

Why stay in Modlin rather than Warsaw?

• You're 10 minutes from the airport instead of 40–60.
• You can still reach Warsaw by train from Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki station next to the hostel.
• Rooms are usually cheaper than in central Warsaw.
