• When life gives you a layover, why not turn it into an adventure? That’s what I did when I found myself with a 20-hour stopover in Warsaw. With a bit of planning and a sense of adventure, I was able to explore the city’s history, culture, and cuisine, from the airport to the Royal Palace and beyond. In this post, I’ll share my tips and experiences for making the most of a Warsaw layover.

During my trip from London to Budapest, I chose LOT Polish Airlines, which included a 20-hour layover in Warsaw. I planned to use this layover to explore the city for a few hours, and here I will share my experience staying at the IBIS hotel during this short stopover.

This was my first time flying with LOT Polish Airlines, and I was impressed with their staff at the check-in counter and onboard service. We landed on time in Poland, and since this was just a stopover, I checked my suitcase all the way through to Budapest and only carried the necessary things for the day along with my camera and cell phone. As I did not have any Polish currency, I exchanged 50 US dollars for the Polish currency, assuming I could use it for the taxi to go to the hotel. The exchange rate I received was not good, but I did not worry about it since it was for emergency purposes.

As soon as I came out of the airport, I took a taxi to the IBIS Warsaw hotel and saw Visa and Mastercard signs on the taxi’s window, which made me happy as I could use my credit card. I chose IBIS hotel because of the rate and its proximity to the Royal Palace and other attractions. The check-in process was smooth, and the front desk person was very friendly and helpful. The lobby was colorful, and the room rate included free breakfast.

The room was simple but clean, and it had only the European power outlet. Fortunately, I had brought a couple of international power adapters. The room also came with a complimentary sparkling water bottle. The next morning, I looked for a store to buy regular water bottles but could not find any grocery or convenience stores around. I went for a morning walk with my camera around the neighborhood at 6:30 am, and even though it was April 2nd, it was still cold. I walked around for an hour and a half but could not find any stores to buy water bottles, only one coffee shop, which I did not enter. I noticed many trains and bus stops near the hotel, which might be useful to take public transportation.

The breakfast the following morning was delicious with many varieties. After breakfast, I wanted to visit the Royal Castle and the places around it, so I asked the hotel front desk about their late checkout policy since my flight from Warsaw to Budapest was at 8 PM. To my surprise, if we pay 50 Polish currency, we could stay until 5 PM, which was perfect for my plan. I agreed to pay and left my luggage at the hotel. The front desk staff helped me call a taxi to the Royal Castle, and I returned around 4 PM. Everything worked out as planned, and I was satisfied with my short stay in Warsaw.
