THE CITY OF LESZNO:
Reaching Leszno is quite simple; the town is located between two major airports; Wroclaw and Poznan. Both big cities are only 1.5hrs away by bus or train. SO DON’T FORGET TO TRAVEL!!!!!!!!!!
If you don’t have flight connections to these cities, there are other options. You can fly to Berlin or Warsaw. Both cities are connected by FlixBus, which is easy to book and efficient. The website even has an English version! Prague and Krakow are also connected to Leszno, by train and bus. However, it will take you a bit longer to reach Leszno. Wroclaw is quite close to Leszno, around 1 – 1.5hours by train and bus.
Poznan is even closer than Wroclaw, busses and trains are quite cheap and efficient. Point 3 on the map represents Krakow, one of the most beautiful cities in Poland. It used to be the capital of Poland. Gdansk, Sopot and Gdynia – These 3 cities require a long trip of 6-7hours.
