Transport Poznań Główny Train Station, AKA the Breadbox
Travel within Poznań using buses and trams is efficient, fast and cheap; driving a car through the Old Town’s cobbled maze, on the other hand, is not an endeavour we recommend. As such, for visitors the centre of Poznań is best negotiated on foot, or by bike, scooter, public transport or taxi - all of which are explained here. For detailed arrival information about Poznań's airport, and train and bus stations, visit our website.
Poznań City Card Enterprising tourists should consider the Poznań City Card - a splendid piece of plastic that entitles the bearer to free admission or discounts to more than 70 places, plus an optional buy-in for free travel on public transport.

Public Transport Poznań is crisscrossed by over one hundred tram and bus lines, including night routes, which provide a time- and cost-efficient way to move about town. Due to frequent track work and route changes, however, your best bet for figuring out how to use public transport in Poz is the super-helpful website poznan.jakdojade.pl (mobile app also available), which can tell you exactly how to get from point A to Point B in English. Transport tickets are bought from automated machines found on most buses and trams, as well as at many transport stops, and thankfully you can pay by card. The galaxy of ticket options are far too complex to review here; you can take it to heart that you won’t be leaving ‘Zone A’ unless you’re travelling far outside of the city-centre, as even Lake Malta is within Zone A. Tickets are timed, and the cheapest option is a not-very-cheap 4zł for only 15mins - which might only get you 3 or 4 stops.
