Travel / Best way to get from Lodz to Warsaw? [48]

There are white buses direct from Warsaw Airport to Lodz train station (about 15 seaters). Cost about 40pln one way. Not the most comfortable but much better than going into city for a train. Information desk at Warsaw airport should be able to help. Easy enough to find and leave every few hours

Ah, this will probably be what I'm going to go with then. Pretty cheap in my opinion. So I just hop on this and it will take me to Lodz. Will save me a night in Warsaw. In Lodz will the end point be at a place that has a taxi? I am pretty sure I'll be sleep depraved as I can't sleep on planes so will want to get to the hotel as soon as I can and pass out. It looks like the Ibis will be the hotel. Decent price and decent reviews.

Please explain what the white minivans are? Taxi's? How much would a ride to Lodz cost? Would it be possible to do it straight from the airport? Like a taxi to Lodz? Anyone know the price of that?

Thanks for all the replies everyone. Great place here.

For info about £ódź, you'll have to ask someone else. I know Wrocław ... not £ódź.

Thanks. TLK 1st class for sure.

Don't know if Zetigrek is around much these days but she lives there (I think) and is nice & helpful - I'm sure she can advise.

Hasn't been on since Jan 4th. Hopefully she'll come on soon. This is kind of a rush visit so may be as early as the end of next week.

Try here ... rozklad-pkp.pl/?q=en/node/143

Ok, don't laugh here. How do I do the search? I am really not familiar with any of those names. I want to go from Warsaw Airport to Lodz (don't know exactly where but central station would be good). And what are those icons that one says ICE, the other Ex/IC/EC another TLK/IR/Posp. and Osobowe. I figure Osobowe is tram? I am just looking for the fastest and easiest way.

Also guide in lodz offer is still available if anyone is interested (paid of course).

Thanks everyone for all the help.

Merged: Warsaw to Lodz - how to get there

Alright, here is my dilemna. I want to end up in Lodz and not sure exactly how to get there. I was told the train would be the best way. Is there a site for the train system?

Now it gets more complicated. I can't speak Polish well. Have a whole arsenal of maybe 20 words so I will need to hit spots/hotels that have some English speaking staff.

So here is the plan....
Take the plane from Canada to Warsaw. Spend a night in Warsaw in a hotel close or on the airport area. I was thinking Holiday Inn but I'm open to suggestions.

From there the next day I grab a train to Lodz and check into a hotel. Here I am not sure where a good place to stay is. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Can someone please suggest a hotel to stay at for a good price and clean. Again preferably some English speaking staff and maybe a restaurant on site or close would be great.

Total stay will be 10 days from arrival to Warsaw.

I may also need a guide in Lodz. If anyone is interested, please leave me a pm with your rate. It may be from half a day to a few days.

Thank you.
