Katowice Pyrzowice Airport (KTW) transfer to Gliwice city centre

Gliwice city centre is the academic and business heart of the second-largest city in Upper Silesia — home to the Silesian University of Technology, the oldest university of technology in Poland, founded in 1945. The distance from Katowice Pyrzowice Airport to the area around Plac Krakowski, Zwycięstwa and Wieczorka Streets is about 50 km. Standard transfer time is 50-65 minutes. The usual routing runs along the A1 motorway, then the A4 westbound towards Wrocław with the Gliwice-Sośnica exit, with the final segment via the DTŚ or Jana Nowaka-Jeziorańskiego Avenue adjusted to the specific Gliwice address.

We regularly serve the SILESIAN UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY — the oldest university of technology in Poland (1945) with a 60-hectare campus stretching from Akademicka Street to Pszczyńska Street. The university has 13 faculties and around 25 000 students, including a significant international cohort. Frequent destinations also include the Gliwice Old Town (Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture, the Main Square with the 14th-century Town Hall and Neptune Fountain), Gliwice "Stulecia" Hall (a multipurpose sports venue), Hotel Diament Gliwice at 14 Wieczorka Street, Hotel Qubus Gliwice on Dworcowa Street and the Nowe Gliwice complex (regenerated post-mining grounds on Bojkowska Street housing IT and creative-industry offices).

Gliwice city centre requires familiarity with the DTŚ layout — the Silesian Cross-City Expressway linking Katowice with Gliwice via Zabrze and Ruda Śląska. During the morning (07:00-09:00) and afternoon (15:30-18:00) peaks, the DTŚ becomes congested due to GZM cross-city commuter traffic. Within Gliwice the main axis is Zwycięstwa Street — Hotel Diament and the university campus have their own driveways. The Gliwice Main Square is partially closed to traffic — drop-off at restaurants and hotels around the square is arranged from Bohaterów Getta Warszawskiego Street.

This route works well for Silesian University of Technology students (especially international Erasmus and exchange-programme students), business guests from IT and engineering offices in Nowe Gliwice, attendees of technical conferences at Gliwice "Stulecia" Hall and tourists exploring the Gothic and Art Nouveau Old Town. We operate 24/7, including at night. The fare is fixed and confirmed before travel; flight tracking, arrivals pickup with a name board and 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included. Payment is completed online by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or BLIK. Child seats, boosters and larger luggage space can be prepared on request.

Frequently asked questions

Is the transfer fare from Pyrzowice Airport to Gliwice fixed?

Yes. The price is confirmed at booking and does not change because of traffic on the DTŚ, flight delays or night hours. Flight tracking, name-board pickup in arrivals and 60 minutes of waiting after landing are included.

How long does the transfer from Katowice Airport to Gliwice city centre take?

Usually 50-65 minutes for a distance of about 50 km. Gliwice is the GZM city furthest from the airport. During morning (07:00-09:00) and afternoon (15:30-18:00) peaks, the journey sits closer to the upper end due to DTŚ traffic between Katowice and Gliwice.

Can the chauffeur drop us off at the Silesian University of Technology campus?

Yes. The 60-hectare campus is large — please share the faculty or building address (e.g. 2A Akademicka, 18 Konarskiego, Education and Congress Centre) so the chauffeur reaches the right building. Hotels Diament and Qubus have their own driveways.

Do you provide late-night transfers and child seats?

Yes, the service operates 24/7. A child seat or booster can be prepared when requested during booking, so no additional transport arrangements are needed after arrival. No night surcharges apply.
