Hello! I am visiting Lodz in 10 days.
Does anyone know how long it takes from Lodz airport to the city center by taxi?
I also want to know how much it costs.
I will appreciate your info.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
From the airport to the centre of Lodz is around 6 km so it's not far but i don't know how long it takes (I guess it's around 20 - 30 mins).
Cost of taxi:
*For ordering/ or getting in to the taxi and first km it's 5 PLN (in the city and outside the city)
*[6 am - 10 pm] Every next km after the first one cost you: 1,80 PLN (in the city) 3,60 PLN outside the city
*[10 pm - 6 am, also weekends and holidays] Every next km after the first one cost you: 2,70 PLN (in the city), 5,40 PLN (outside the city)
Although you should be prepared that taxi from the airport might be slightly more expensive. Now when you know which day and what time you're flying over you can easily count how much 6 km would cost. Be carefull to not give them chance to charge you more than they should as i've heard some taxi drivers does that.
Hope it will help. Take care
Jo :)
On my travels I find it amusing how words can have different meanings in different languages. As I was wandering around Lodz I spotted this notice board outside of a ladies clothes shop in a run down area of the city. I wondered if the local patrons and owner of the shop had any idea of the meaning of this sign in English.
Pabianice: You can go to this suburb of Lodz to admire a 16th century castle in the Renaissance style. Inside the castle there is a museum, placed there quite fittingly, for the town is the oldest settlement in the region.
KALISZ. The Old Town in Kalisz seen from the Town Hall. This is a very ancient town. It was mentioned by Claudius Ptolemy about 147 AD. Kalisz was a very important amber route between the Baltic Sea and Rome.
Radegast Station is the site of the Litzmannstadt Ghetto Memorial. This one time forgotten railway station was used to ship goods made in the Lodz Ghetto to Germany. At the same time people were transported from places around Nazi held territory to be held in the Lodz Ghetto. The railway station, built in 1937, was located just outside of the ghetto and was the main transport link with the outside world. During the course of the war some 200,000 people were transported from Radegast Station to the death camps at Chelmno and Auschwitz mainly with the pretence of a better life. The railway station continued to be used by the transport authorities after the war but it was forgotten for a long period of time. Interest was revived a few years ago when the building and tracks were rediscovered and it was thought it would make a fitting memorial. The original wooden station building remains and inside there are books containing lists of those who were shipped to the death camps. A train and 3 cattle trucks used to ship the victims stand next to the station. Though I have seen these trucks before this is the first time I have actually stood inside one. You can conjure up in your mind how claustrophobic and cramped the conditions were. At one end there are 6 tombstone shaped memorials with the names of 6 concentration camps. You can walk through the 140 metre ‘tunnel of the deported’ with its transport lists on the walls. At the far end of the site is a holocaust memorial with the words ‘though shall not kill’ inscribed on the outside.
Most of the websites recommend using a taxi to reach the memorial, but you catch one of the following buses 57,81,87,56,60,60A.
The Botanical Gardens in Lodz are attractive and quite large at 64 hectares, If fact at one stage, because of its size I became slightly lost and was unable to find the exit. It was a warm Sunday morning and the gardens were quite busy, though I had feared they might be closed with the recent tragic events effecting Poland. The gardens are arranged in 8 different sections the largest being the arboretum at nearly 19 hectares which has a number of small ponds. The rock gardens are interesting and if Lin had been with me she would have said she could have done with some of the rocks in our garden. Besides the couples and families the gardens are very popular with amateur photographers who I noticed had some top of the range cameras. The gardens are well worth a visit and this can be combined with a visit to the zoo which is close by. The gardens are open from 1st April to 31st October at 0900 hours.
