Getting there & away

Land

Bus

The bus terminal is in the centre, near the Protestant church. Buses to Mrągowo (6.20zł, 40 minutes) run every couple of hours; change there for Olsztyn (15zł) or Kętrzyn (10zł). Ten buses go to Giżycko daily (8zł, one hour) and there’s one service to Suwałki (15.50zł, 1¾ hours). Six buses depart daily to Warsaw (35zł to 50zł, five hours) in summer.

Train

The sleepy train station is 1km from the centre, on the Giżycko road. It handles just a few trains a day to Ełk (11zł, 1¼ hours) and Olsztyn (14zł, two hours).
