Bydgoszcz has a sparkling new airport - Bydgoszcz I.J Paderewski - set on the edge of the forest less than 5km south of the centre. Ryanair operates routes to the UK, Ireland and Germany, and Bydgoszcz, and while air traffic is on the up, the airport can be a ghostly place at many times during the day. Arrivals and departures are both handled on the ground floor of the small terminal building so whether you are coming or going the distance from the plane to the terminal is minimal. On the main ground floor area find toilets, a baby care room, newspaper shop, currency exchange and ATM. There is an airport information desk which although primarily there to help with flight information is happy to give you advice on getting to town etc. Upstairs find a café, car rental options like Hertz and Avis, and another small shop. Bus No 80 leaves from outside the main exit and goes to the city centre. Buy a ticket from the driver for 2.60zł. Taxis can be found parked outside after flights arrive. Assuming the meter is set correctly, expect to pay around 25zł to get to the city centre, a journey which should take no more than 10-15 minutes providing there is no traffic. Make sure the taxi is clearly marked and has the fares advertised in the rear window.
