 How to Get Around Warsaw?

How to Get Around Warsaw?

Being one of Europe’s biggest cities, Warsaw can seem like a challenging place to get from A to B on your party. However, there’s no need to panic! Operating all over the city is the Warsaw Metro, which serves 31 stations across the city and its suburbs. This makes getting around Warsaw easy, quick and affordable for any party visiting the city. There is also a network of trams that run above-ground throughout the city, so taking the underground metro isn’t always your one-and-only choice.

As well as trams and the metro, Warsaw also has efficient bus routes that stop at numerous locations across the city. Not only this, but cycling is also popular in the city. Warsaw’s main provider for bike hire is Veturilo, a bicycle sharing system that operates 55 stations with over 1000 bikes available. This can prove to be one of the best ways of getting around the city as more and more cycle lanes are being laid out across Warsaw all the time. Alternatively, after arriving in the city centre, most of the biggest landmarks and points of interest can be reached mostly on foot, so this should always be considered as an option.
