Gate-side at Terminal 1, Baltona stays open 24/7
Baltona Duty Free sits airside in Terminal 1 at Poznań-Ławica, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so it’s there for the 05:30 departures and the last late-night arrivals. You walk past it after security, before most gates, so it’s a natural last stop for liquids, gifts or snacks.
This is a standard duty free setup: liquor, perfume, cosmetics, Polish sweets and souvenirs, plus a wall of cigarettes and some basic travel essentials. Expect typical airport pricing rather than downtown bargains; spirits and cosmetics can be a bit cheaper than in the city, but snacks and souvenirs often match or exceed Poznań shop prices. Card payments in PLN and major cards are accepted, and you won’t need cash.
For something local, look for Polish vodkas like Żubrówka and Soplica, Wedel or Wawel chocolates, and branded Poznań or Poland fridge magnets. Bottle sizes run from 0.1L minis up to 1L duty free formats, handy if you’re connecting onward in the EU and want sealed liquids through security. Check the small shelf tags for multi-buy promos on spirits and chocolate; these rotate monthly.
If you’re tight on time before your flight, budget 5–10 minutes here: the store footprint is modest and usually manageable even when Ryanair and Wizz Air departures cluster around the same 30–45 minute window. Quick tip: grab liquids and gifts here after security, rather than in landside shops, to avoid bag repacking at screening.
