Coaches arrive and depart – unless otherwise stated – from the Warsaw West Bus Station (Dworzec Autobusowy Warszawa Zachodnia). Find a currency exchange and two ATM (bankomat) machines located in the main hall. There is no Tourist Info point, for the closest you’ll have to make the journey into the Palace of Culture, Pl. Defilad 1 (entrance from ul. Emill Plater). There's a legitimate left-luggage operation, though lockers will be off-limits for security purposes from May 31-July 5. Find lockers in the official UEFA Fanzone at Pl. Defilad by the Palace of Culture instead.. There are five payphones located in one of the side corridors though you’ll need to buy phone cards to use them. You can do that by visiting one of the Relay kiosks in the main hall. You’ll also be able to buy SIM cards, prepaid cards and transport cards from here. HALO taxis stand outside the entrance and will charge you about 20zł to the centre. Refuse a lift from any of the smiling unlicensed operators who offer you a lift. The bus running to the centre is found right across a busy highway and getting there is an adventure in itself seeing there are no signposts in the subway leading there. Basically from the main hall duck down under the sign saying Dworzec PKP, head down the stairs, turn right, follow the corridor to its conclusion, turn right again – you’ll see two stairwells leading to the surface. Take the left one and presto, there’s your bus stop. Confused? Not half as much as we were. Good work Warsaw. To get to Central Station take bus number 127, 130, 158 or 517. At night you'll be needing and N35 or N85. The journey takes approximately 15 minutes so buy a 2,60zł ticket valid for 20 minutes. Remember to validate your ticket on boarding.

  My comment is in relation to Eurolines serving the Baltics from Warsaw. After night trains have been cancelled from Warsaw to Vilnius, bus is the only public transport, which can take you to Lithuania for a weekend without ruining your time or taking entire weekend to travel to a neighbouring EU country. Well, the coaches serving the lines are mostly old (I had 2 old buses out of 3 journeys I have taken in the last month or so), secondly drivers make mistakes that cost time and money (on the way to Vilnius bus driver was taking longer rests then planned, arrived to Vilnius an hour later than planned and on the top of the things got lost in the city...), thirdly, drivers charge extra if you have 2 suitcases to place into the luggage compartment and the price freely fluctuate depending on the season and driver’s mood. I was requested to pay extra to handle my second small suitcase, when I on purpose divided my luggage not to take super size suitcase. Many lessons learned already. Since other choices of transport to get to Vilnius is to fly or to drive, I’d recommend either, but not the coach.
