BY TRAIN
With the city lying in the centre of the
country, Łódź is a crossroads for many
of the rail networks covering the
country. It doesn't actually have one
central station though which means
trains pass through Łódź using two of
the three main stations - Kaliska
(generally for east/west routes) and Widzew (north/south routes). The third
major station is Łódź Fabryczna and while being the most central of the
three, it is also a dead-end with trains from Warsaw terminating here, and
currently closed for renovations.
