The country's air harbors testify to the tourist attractiveness of the country. If there are many airports, especially international ones, then we can conclude that this state is often visited by foreign citizens. And you can talk as much as you like about the development of the tourism industry, but if there are no air gates, no one will come to this country in our age of aircraft and high speeds. In this article we will look at airports in Poland. How many of them are large? Which cities accept planes from abroad? We encourage you to review this information. In general, we can say that Poland is an attractive country for tourists. Many travelers consider its air harbors as transit points, which is also good, because airport taxes replenish the state budget.
Okence (Warsaw)
In total, there are twelve major airports in Poland. Of these, only six have international status. Polish airports serve passengers in various directions. Many flights are also carried out to Russia. Passengers from the Russian Federation are mainly met by the Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport. Since the hubis located in the Okentse district, then earlier it was called by the name of the outskirts. Now he has been named after the famous composer. Aeroflot liners fly from Moscow to the main air gates of the country. From St. Petersburg to Warsaw, you can go on comfortable cars of the carrier company "Let". Okecie has long been part of the city limits of the capital of Poland. Therefore, ordinary buses No. 175 and 188 run there from the center (including from the main railway station). A traveler who arrives late at night does not need to call a taxi. At this time, the route is served by bus number 611. It is very comfortable to get there. The terminals were updated for Euro 2012, so the traveler will find all sorts of comfort and conveniences there, especially in the paid lounge. Building A (international) offers free Wi-Fi. From there you can also get to the city by train, which arrives at the Warszawa Centralna railway station.
Modlin (airport, Poland)
Okencie receives planes of famous airlines arriving in Warsaw. However - and few people know about it - the capital of Poland has one more airport. It is called Modlin - after the town, which is thirty-five kilometers northwest of the center of Warsaw. The airport was built specifically for Euro 2012 to receive numerous budget airlines. The FIFA World Cup has passed, but the hub has remained. Low-cost airlines have not disappeared, the demand for which is only growing now. Given the spartan conditions aboard low cost airlines, don't expect more at the airport either,serving. The small terminal, however, is connected to the center of Poland's capital by numerous public transport routes. These are buses and trains. The fare is nine zlotys (about 2 US dollars, i.e. about 115 Russian rubles at the current exchange rate) and 17 by train. If you are considering Warsaw as a transit point, arriving in Okecie and departing from Modlin (or vice versa), then you will be interested to know that these airports in Poland are connected by an OKBus bus route and a suburban rail line.
B altic Coast Air Gate
Many tourists are attracted by the country's seaside resorts - primarily Gdynia and Sopot. These towns are located just a few kilometers from a large settlement and port - Gdansk. Its airport terminal also serves tourists who have arrived on a beach holiday on the B altic coast. It bears the name of Lech Walesa and is located in the town of Rebiechowo, 12 kilometers west of Gdansk. Transport links from this airport are very good. Buses and trains connect it not only with the center and the railway station of Gdansk, but also with resort towns on the coast. This hub is loved by budget airlines for its cheap service.

Katowice-Pyrzowice
You can see the architectural monuments of Krakow, included in the UNESCO list, if you fly to this city of the Silesian Voivodeship. Katowice is the center of the mining agglomeration of towns. Therefore, in front of the two airport terminals there is a whole small bus station. From here you can go not only to the center of Katowice, but also to Krakow, Bytom, Mierenczyc, Tarnowskie Góra and Zawiercie. Due to its location in the south of the country, near the border, the hub also serves residents of neighboring Slovakia and the Czech Republic. The airport in Katowice (Poland) is equipped with everything you need to wait for a flight. There is even free Wi-Fi. The only thing that passengers complain about is the lack of a left-luggage office. Many travelers regard Katowice as a transit point (a large number of regular and seasonal flights depart from here to warmer countries) and are forced tosit on suitcases, waiting for the next liner).
Vladislav Reymont Airport
