Getting to the stadium

The Legia Warsaw Municipal Stadium (also known as the Polish Army Stadium) is located on 3 Łazienkowska street in Warsaw.

The nearest bus stops are Legia Stadion and Rozbrat. Information on public transport connections is available on the website of the Warsaw Public Transport Authority.

If you are travelling from Modlin Airport you would have to take a train or a taxi.

If travelling by taxi, you are advised to use major taxi companies, such as Sawa Taxi (+48 22 644 44 44) or Ele Taxi (+48 22 811 11 11). If you do pick up a taxi on the street, always check the per kilometre price, which should be clearly marked on the side of the taxi, before getting in. Some taxis operating in areas frequented by tourists can charge highly inflated price.

Safety tips

If you are a UK National and you plan to travel to Poland to watch the match, it is advisable to:

• Keep your passport safe, fill out the last page (emergency contacts) and keep plenty of copies of the data page.
• Consider having adequate travel insurance while travelling.
• Obey Polish laws, regulations and instructions from local authorities. If you are arrested, the British Embassy cannot get you out of police detention until the Police proceedings are completed. The British Embassy do not provide legal advice.
• Ask for a receipt from taxi drivers so your belongings can be retrieved if left in a taxi.
• If you drink alcohol, drink responsibly and be aware that alcoholic drinks may be stronger in Poland than in the UK. Don’t leave drinks or food unattended and beware of accepting drinks from casual acquaintances.
• Check your bill carefully when buying drinks in bars and nightclubs.
• As in any other city, beware of pickpockets and bag snatchers at airports, railway stations, around the town centre and when using public transport. Only carry what you need, leave spare cash and valuables in hotel safety deposits.
