Warsaw Airport overview and information (WAW)

There is a main terminal at Warsaw Airport, also known as Terminal A. Originally there were two terminals, 1 and 2, which is why sometimes the two parts of the terminal are called Old Terminal (1) and New Terminal (2) although it is the same building. 

Terminal A has divided 5 check-in areas designated A, B, C, D and E into two halls each: North and south.

The terminal has 45 gates, 27 of which are equipped with jetways for direct access to the aircraft.

The terminal building has 4 floors:

• Ground floor - public area and check-in counters as well as representatives of the airlines
• First floor - arrival area
• Second floor - departure area
• Third floor - offices and airport administration

South concourse: Check-in areas A and B (old Terminal 1). In the past it was a separate building next to Terminal 1, but it is currently fully integrated into Terminal A.
Nordhalle: Contains the check-in areas C, D and E. 

• At the airport airport there is free and unlimited internet access via Wi-Fi.
• Terminal A contains three lounges for all passengers who belong to an airline club or wish to pay a fee to enjoy the services offered there.

Overview - explore the city of Warsaw by rental car

The Old Town of Warsaw was almost completely destroyed during the Second World War. After the war, the city was largely reconstructed true to the original and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1980.

Today, Warsaw is a bustling metropolis and one of the fastest developing capitals of the European Union. It has a mixture of new and old in its eclectic architectural mix and is constantly changing. Despite the constant change, it is easy for tourists to find their way around, thanks to a good public transport system and the main attractions are not far away from each other.

There is no shortage of accommodation and a wide selection of restaurants and bars. Warsaw's nightlife is also becoming increasingly popular and varied. The city has also taken over a distinctive café culture. There are many museums, galleries and other tourist attractions and there is always something going on all year round.
