By air to Poland
To get to Poland, we recommend taking a plane to Warsaw. The Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW) has connections with the most of big European airports.
Alternatively, one may take a flight to regional airports which offer only a limited number of regular connections:
– Warsaw Modlin Airport (WMI), 50 km north of Warsaw, where Ryanair offers numerous connections.
– Lublin Airport (LUZ) is located only 10 km east of Lublin. It offers flights to Warsaw, London, and Dublin.
– Warsaw Radom Airport (RDO) is 75 km west of Kazimierz Dolny. Regular flights are to Rome and Tirana.
– Kraków Airport (KRA) offers many international connections, but there is not easy communicated with Kazimierz Dolny by public transport.
