About Wroclaw Airport

Named after legendary Polish astronomer Nikolaus Copernicus, Copernicus Airport Wroclaw is the fifth busiest in all of Poland and the gateway to this interesting city for over three million passengers every year. Originally developed by German air forces when the city was known as Breslau, the airport fell into the hands of the Soviet Air Force after the Second World War but was quickly transformed into a civilian facility. It wasn't until 1993, after the fall of the Iron Curtain, that the first international flights began coming here, but the airport quickly made up for lost time. Now, it operates flights to almost every country in Europe, bringing millions of tourists and millions of dollars to the city every year.

Wroclaw Airport lies to the west of the city itself, around 10 km from the heart of Wroclaw. That makes it fairly easy to reach by public transport or by car. However, you can make your journey easier on yourself by taking advantage of luggage storage options in and around the airport. Instead of relying on luggage lockers in the arrivals hall or at the train station, store your luggage with Bounce, a radical storage solution that partners with local shops, restaurants, and hotels to make sure you always have plenty of luggage storage locations available.

With Bounce, you can store any size of bag for as long as you want, from a few hours to an entire day or even days at a time. You can also use our app to find the best luggage storage Wroclaw offers, check the opening hours, and take advantage of baggage storage to make your business trip or vacation that much easier.

Top attractions near Wroclaw Airport

Wrocław Fashion Outlet luggage storage

One of the most striking things about Poland, at least to visitors from wealthy countries, is its affordability. The price of just about everything in Poland is cheaper than in Western Europe or North America, thanks in part to the country maintaining its own currency, the zloty, instead of adopting the euro. If you're looking to kill some time between flights and do a little shopping, this shopping mall is just a few kilometers from Wroclaw Airport and offers a great place to find everything you need. Along with various clothing and shoe stores, you'll find electronics outlets, game shops, and a variety of fast food places too. Just make sure to store luggage at a Wroclaw Airport luggage storage before you go to make it easier to handle your new purchases.

The Train to Heaven luggage storage

This public artwork makes a great quick stop on the way into the city. Featuring a huge locomotive on a track that points directly into the sky, this is an excellent photo opportunity and a place to admire some free art.

Museum of Games and Computers of the Past luggage storage

Also located close to Wroclaw Airport, this might be one of the most fun museums you ever visit, though it can also make you feel pretty old, too. This museum is more of an arcade that collects old video games from bygone eras, so it's an excellent place to try childhood favorites. Most of the vintage games are still playable, so you can see if you can beat your old high score on Pac-Man, Super Mario Brothers, Tekken, or whatever other games you played in your childhood. There's no place to store luggage at this small museum, so make sure to store your luggage at a Wroclaw Airport luggage storage before you visit.

Like the rest of Poland, Wroclaw has a rich and fascinating history, and there's no better place to explore it than here. This municipal museum tells the long story of the city from its earliest beginnings through the tumultuous conflicts of the 20th century to the present day. Note that the luggage storage is very limited here, so leave your bags behind at a convenient Bounce luggage storage instead. Wroclaw has such an interesting and complex history that you'll need to spend at least an hour or two here.

Transport options at Wroclaw Airport

Wroclaw Airport train station

A train station and tunnel have been built underneath the airport, but at the time of writing, the rest of the train line connecting the airport to Wrocław Główny has yet to be built. That means there is no direct train into Wroclaw from the airport, but you can take bus route 106 to the train station. There's also the WRO Airport Express bus which runs to Market Square, and Flixbus, which can take you into the city. You can purchase tickets online or at the Wroclaw Airport ticket desk for these services. Alternatively, because Wroclaw Airport is close to the city, it doesn't cost very much to take a taxi into town, either.

Local tips and insider info

• Wroclaw is continually growing in popularity with international tourists, making Wroclaw Airport an ever more busy place. It also means that many of the city's top attractions can be busy in the summer, but many allow you to book tickets online in advance so you can skip the line. A little bit of planning can make your trip a lot better.
• Poland still uses its own currency, so you'll need to change money if you're coming from outside the country. There are plenty of kiosks at Wroclaw Airport where you can exchange your currency for local notes, but you usually won't get the best rate here. Instead, it's better to use a credit card where possible or take local currency right out of an ATM, depending on your home bank's fees and policies.

With an easy bus connection to Wroclaw Glowny Train Station, the airport receives flights from Berlin Airport, Vienna Airport, and other major cities every day.
