REPORT TRAVEL TO POLAND TO TORUN, PLOCK AND WARSAW.

  

1. Flight of the Ryanair company from Orio al Serio (Bg) to Modlin, at a price of Euro 2.00 including taxes;

2. Currency exchange at Modlin Airport is very unfavorable.

3. From the small former Modlin Airport to get to Warsaw there are 2 solutions. The least economical is to take the bus which leaves frequently and at a price of 34 PLN, one way takes you in about 45 minutes to the center of Warsaw. The second is the cheapest and consists of taking the shuttle that in 20 minutes takes you to the small Modlin train station after several trains take you in about 45 minutes to the different Warsaw Railway Stations including the central one. The price is 12 PLN, all inclusive. The ticket can be bought at the airport or on the shuttle itself. Please note that the aforementioned ticket is not valid for express trains that occasionally stop at Modlin station, which logically costs more and can be done at Modlin train station.

4. To change the currency, keep in mind that the change in the Hall of the Central Station is very unfavorable, while those in the subways of the station itself, called kantor, are very favorable, next to the various shops that sell everything.

5. From the Warsaw Centralina train station I take the train to Torùn in the direction of Bydggoszcz for the price of 48 PLN. The trip lasts about 3 hours. There are several per day for this destination. The ticket must not be stamped.

6. One hundred meters Around outside the Torun train station, there is the bus stop where buses n. 22 and 27, which at the price of 2.70 PLN one way will take you in scarce 10 minutes will lead you to Piazza Almariana Rapackiego, 100 mt. To the west of the old city considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.

7. The small historic center of Torun, considered a UNESCO World Heritage Site, can be easily explored on foot. I spend the night at the Dom Turysty Hostel (price 70 PLN per night without breakfast), located about 1 km north-west of the Old Town Market Square. Very clean and comfortable.

8. Four hundred meters south of the aforementioned hostel, in Via Uniwerytecka, there is the bus station where they depart from Peron n. 10 buses to Warsaw. The first is at 8.50 in the morning. They also stop in Plock, a beautiful town on the banks of the Vistula River. The ticket for Plock costs 33 PLN and can be bought directly from the driver. The trip takes about 2 hours.

Back at the Bus Polsi Express stop, located at 396_Al Jachowicza Street, intersection Nowy Rynek Street in Plock, I take one of the many minibuses that reach Warsaw every day in about an hour and a half.

15. The Old Town of Warsaw can be explored on foot while the Citadel, dimly lit at night, can also be reached by bus no. 185.

17. From Warsaw Central Station I take the train to Modlin. The price is 12 PLN, all inclusive. The journey takes approximately 45 minutes. The ticket can be bought at the Central Station counters and is also valid for the shuttle that takes you to Modlin Airport every 20 minutes in 20 minutes.
