Getting to Poland

Unfortunatelly there is no airport in Białystok, so the most convenient way to get there is via the Chopin Airport in Warsaw, which is located close to the city centre. There are also two smaller airports in the vicinity: Warsaw Modlin and Warsaw Radom, which offer limited possibilities and are located much further from the city, but may be useful in particular cases.

There are night trains from several European capitals to Warsaw (Praha, Vienna, Berlin) which may offer a convenient way to travel from neighboring countries. Please note that the price of a ticket in a sleeping car is not always competitive compared to airfare.

From Warsaw to Białystok by means of public transport

There are several possible ways to reach Białystok from Warsaw, the most convenient one is usually by train. The trip from Warsaw Central train station takes around 2.5 hours. There are at least 4 trains to Białystok each day. Usually there are no trains departing late at night though. The best way to get to the Warsaw Central train station from the Chopin Airport is to take a train at the airport to Warsaw Central (Warszawa Centralna) or Railway Station "Śródmieście". The trip takes around 30 minutes. There are also several buses, some of which depart directly from the Chopin Airport. There are also buses which depart late at night when no trains are available.
