Łódź is situated in the very heart of Europe, offering excellent connectivity both with Western Europe and the Central and Eastern European (CEE) region. Its proximity to major capitals such as Berlin (460 km), Vienna (540 km), Hamburg (737 km), Paris (1,112 km), and Rome (1,695 km) makes Łódź a strategic point on the continental map.
Thanks to its location, it is an ideal place for business, transport, and international trade.
Additionally, Łódź has a direct rail connection with Chengdu, China, enabling goods to be transported in just two weeks— compared to 1.5 months by sea. This makes Łódź a key hub in global supply chains.
Łódź, located in the very center of Poland, is the country’s fourth-largest city and a major transport hub. Its strategic position allows quick access to two international airports: Łódź Wladyslaw Reymont Airport, just 15 minutes from the city center, and Warsaw Chopin Airport, reachable within 1 hour and 32 minutes by car.
The city is also well connected with other key transport points in the region. To the north lies the Port of Gdansk—one of Poland’s most important seaports, providing access to international markets via the Baltic Sea. To the south, towards the Adriatic, lies the Adriatic Port, serving as a key link to Mediterranean and Southern European markets.
The short distance from the capital city facilitates business cooperation within the Łódź–Warsaw duopolis model.
The benefits of this arrangement include a well-developed transport infrastructure, access to a skilled workforce, and cost savings.
In the coming decade, a High-Speed Railway (HSR) is planned to reduce travel time between these cities to just 40 minutes.
Additional projects include the Central Communication Port (including cargo) and the expansion of the A2 motorway.
