mackek Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Had a nightmare in March with a very overpriced and scary taxi driver so looking for advice on how to get back to round about Palace of Science and Culture by public transport after the game as dont fancy the 45 min walk! Did see lots of Scots heading to a station near the ground so hoping that works for me too.................. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deecie Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 There's a station near the ground, or alternatively it's only a 45 minute walk back into the centre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Can take metro/train or Tram.... word of warning with the tram, where it drops you off, you can either go left or right to get to the away section..... though going right looks the fasted way, it took us forever to get around the stadium, and going left would have taken us straight to the away area section of the stadium. Would not recommend walking, as the stadium looks a lot closer to the city than it actually is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shotts56 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We walked it in March, was 45 mins tops back to the Irish pub near the old town square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We got the train back in March & remember trams/trains are free on match day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsRik Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 We grabbed a taxi as walking or fighting crowds to station wasn't really on for one of our party. Ours was cheap and quick and no problem so hopefully you just get a better driver this time!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly the same happened with us - we'd asked the police and stewards and got no where, so like you, took what looked like the quickest way round ................ ended up cutting over the grass round the other side but seemed to be walking forever!

Have to say, train back into town after the game was surprisingly fast..... just seemed to be train after train after train, and we were probably back in the bar we had been in most the time we were in Warsaw just less than 30 minutes after the full time whistle.

Agreed, was a bit of a squeeze the carriage we were in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Agreed, was a bit of a squeeze the carriage we were in. We were alright.... everyone just made a bolt for the first carriage, while we stood towards the middle of the platform wasn't empty, but far from crushed.

BankieNat Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 we went for a beer in a bar near the stadium until the polis closed it - then jumped in a taxi... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beer King Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Went to walk to the ground - failed as there was another boozer we hadn't been in, so got a taxi after a couple more drinks, traffic around the ground was horrendous. Straight out the exit at the end of the game followed the sign top the station and back in centre in 8 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 there is special buses too, and your match ticket allows you to use public transport for free Its only a 20 minute walk to the centre, you come out the ground up over the bridge and head straight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wanderer Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 What station does the train drop you at? Central is the main one, but there was a underground stop at the main cross roads at that street through the heart of the city (one at Palace of Science where Metrolpol/Novotel/Polonia Palace is, as that is where we got off on the way back into town.

fanatyk Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What station does the train drop you at? "Warszawa Stadion" but you need to board not on Centralna Station (as this is intercity hub) but on Srodmiescie Station, which is local train station, adjacent to Centralna (easy underground passage, look for signs) there are two kinds of trains serving that route (as well as Chopin Airport-city centre route): SKM trains (red-yellowy colour) or KM trains (yellow-green) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottincarlisle Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 What station does the train drop you at? Sure its just called Stadion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
