Wrocław Airport, officially Nicolaus Copernicus Wrocław Airport (WRO), is a popular low-cost Polish airport in the country’s southwest.
The airport is located 10 km west of Wrocław city centre in the residential neighborhood of Strachowice.
WRO handled nearly 5 million passengers in 2025, making it Poland’s fifth-busiest airport.

Terminal Layout and Gates
Wrocław Airport has just one passenger terminal, spread over three levels, as is standard with modern airports:
Arrivals (Level 0): Includes Baggage claim, all airline desks, information points, exits to ground transportation, and other services.
Departures (Level +1): Houses all check-in counters, the security checkpoint, most dining and shopping options, and all 12 boarding gates.
Observation Deck (Level +2): Accessible from Level 0.
The terminal is quite compact, so you don’t have to walk much between the security checkpoint and any of the gates. If self-transiting, allow extra time to factor in possible delays and queues. The same applies if traveling during the summer, as that’s when it’s most likely for lines to form at check-in and security.
The airport is open 24 hours.

Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the terminal (often with a time limit before re-login).

Dining Options at WRO
Your options for dining at Wrocław Airport are quite limited: a few cafés, bars, and eateries before and after Security, though not a lot of choice.
Before the Security check, in the public area of the airport, there are just 3 places where you can buy something to eat or drink:
Check-in Bar: Offers hot and cold meals, salads, ice cream, waffles, and cocktails. Open daily from 4 AM until the last flight.
Costa Coffee: Open from 3 AM to 7 PM for coffee, sandwiches, and desserts.

Gate Bar: A quick-serve bar open from 4:30 AM until the last flight of the day.
Paul: A bakery that opens as early as 4 AM and offers light snacks, sandwiches, and drinks throughout the day.

A rail link to Wrocław Główny (Central Station) is planned and under construction, with a set completion timeline in 2032.
An alternative way to get to the city, and more convenient if you have a precise destination you want to reach with a lot of luggage, is to take one of the taxis from the rank in front of Arrivals. Taxi Plus and Partner Taxi are the two official companies providing rides from WRO. Their approximate charges to the city center are around 80 PLN during the day.

Of the car rental agencies available onsite, notable ones include Avis, Enterprise/National, Budget, Europcar, Hertz, Panek, KaizenRent, Flex To Go, and Sixt.
Parking at Wrocław Airport
WRO features extensive parking zones near the terminal for different durations of stay and budgets.
You may stop right in front of Departures in the Kiss & Fly Zone, which is free for the first 10 minutes. It’s most suitable for drop-offs and pick-ups as the price increases quickly afterwards - 10 PLN per every 10 minutes.
Short-term and hourly parking is available in 4 lots close to the terminal - less than a 5-minute walk away.
Car Parks A, B, and C: Lot A is adjacent to the terminal, whereas B and C are in front of it. Prices start at 8 PLN per 30 minutes for the first 2 hours and 8 PLN per hour after that, up to a daily limit of 100 PLN. Additional days cost less, as low as 50 PLN.
Car Park G: Situated in front of the terminal, past the Kiss&Fly Zone and the curbside area. Costs 6 PLN per 30 minutes for the first 2 hours and 8 PLN per hour after that, up to a daily limit of 130 PLN. Additional days cost less, as low as 60 PLN.
Long-term parking is most economical in Car Park D. It is about 1 km from the terminal, past Car Park A, but is served by a free shuttle, which makes moving between the two quick and easy. Daily rates start at 80 PLN and decrease every additional day, down to as low as 20 PLN.
You will receive cheaper rates at all car parks if you book online via the official airport page. In addition, by booking online, you will get a 10% discount at the On Time restaurant and free Fast Track for up to 2 people as long as your receipt value is at least 50 PLN.

Hotels near Wrocław Airport
There’s no hotel directly inside the terminal, but the Hampton by Hilton Wroclaw Airport is within walking distance of it (<300 meters). This brand-new, modern 3-star hotel offers soundproofed rooms, so you can’t hear the planes, an early to-go breakfast if your flight is one of the first (a plentiful buffet otherwise), and an on-site restaurant with wonderful cocktails on the menu.
Another nearby accommodation option is the Arche Hotel Wrocław, located about 1.2 km away from the terminal. Unfortunately, they do not offer a shuttle, but they more than make up for its lack with their restaurant, bar, fitness center, and cozy rooms.
