Flights to Poland
Atmospheric cities, world-renowned historical sites and comforting food all make up Poland’s unique personality. Start by exploring the capital, Warsaw, where shiny skyscrapers and wide avenues sit alongside historic royal palaces and cobblestone streets. Meanwhile, the well-preserved Medieval architecture, modern shopping streets and nightlife hubs of Krakow make this an exciting destination for a city break. And, if you’re looking for some outdoor adventure, you can retreat into the Tatra Mountains.

Start your Polish adventure
Fly to Poland with British Airways and discover some of Europe’s big-name cities.
Warsaw’s historic centre is chronicled in the Historical Museum of Warsaw and realised in the time-stamped streets and colourful buildings surrounding Market Square. Head to the other side of town for bar-hopping and shopping as you wander the Neoclassical streets of the New Town district.
Then there’s Krakow, one of the largest and oldest cities in Poland. Visit Cloth Hall and look up at all 110 steps that lead up to the Town Hall Tower, before heading to the Jewish district. Here you’ll see landmarks like the Old Synagogue and Oskar Schindler’s Enamel Factory.
If you want to get up close and personal with Poland’s natural world, Tatra Mountains are the gateway to Slovakia’s borders, with the Vistula River and Tatra National Park nearby. If a seaside escape is what you’re after, try Sopot or Gdańsk instead. Both are beautiful coastal towns nestled along the Baltic Sea coast. Book your holiday to Poland now.

Poland flight FAQs
Flights from London to Warsaw or Krakow take approximately two hours and 30 minutes.
We fly from London Heathrow (LHR) into Krakow and Warsaw airports.
Use our low fare finder to discover the cheapest time to visit Poland. Summer is the most popular season for visitors, so book your flights for spring or autumn for cheaper prices while still enjoying Poland’s sights and the mild weather, which is perfect for sightseeing.
September through to mid-October is a great time to visit Poland, as temperatures are still pleasantly warm and there isn’t as much rainfall as in spring. You’ll find fewer crowds too.
Compared with other European countries, Poland is a very affordable destination, but you can adjust your budget to fit the type of trip you’re looking for. There are plenty of hostels and lower-priced hotels if you’d rather spend your Polish złoty on activities. Sample local and inexpensive treats, like pierogi – stuffed dumplings – and bigos – a slow-cooked stew made from sauerkraut, fresh cabbage, and various meats – to save on eating out. Poland’s beautiful parks and seaside towns provide a serene escape from city noise, especially in summer. Visit Łazienki Park, where you can see the famous Chopin statue or Sopot beach. Both are free to access.
You can take a shuttle or local bus from the airport into Warsaw or Krakow, or a taxi straight to your hotel. They’re available outside the airport terminal, and it takes about 25 minutes to reach either city centre.
With lots of hidden gems to explore, you’re spoilt for choice in Poland – take your pick of the multi-faceted charms of Warsaw, the vibrant nightlife hubs of Krakow and the natural beauty of the Tatra Mountain regions. The cobblestone streets and forest-covered mountain tops are home to centuries of history and easily accessible from the cities. It makes it easy to move between busy streets and peaceful woodlands, taste unique dishes like placki ziemniaczane and visit significant historical monuments including Malbork Castle, the largest castle in the world. And while it’s easy to create an all-action itinerary, Poland is also a fantastic option for a long, relaxing weekend enjoying the coastal scenery and quieter quarters of Sopot and Hel Peninsula.
