Travel & stay

The castle is only 20 minutes from the airport. Guests are able to stay with us at Zinar or at the Forest Hotel across the road, meaning that we're all together the whole weekend!

Getting to Kraków

By air

John Paul II International Airport, Kraków Balice (KRK). Direct from most UK and Irish cities.

By train

Kraków Główny is the central station, with fast connections from Warsaw, Berlin, Prague and Vienna.

Getting to the castle

Taxi from the airport
15 to 20 min
From Kraków Old Town
15 min by car

Taxis and Bolt both work from the terminal and it is a short, easy run.

Getting to the church on the day

The Ceremony is being held at St Anne's Catholic Church in central Kraków. For ease, we have organised coaches to take guests to the Ceremony and back to Zinar Castle.

Out

13:45

Coach leaves from outside the castle.

Back

16:15

After the Ceremony ends, the same coach will bring everyone back to the castle for the welcome reception at 17:00.

Making your own way to the church? No problem! There is street parking available around the church, but please be aware that weekend restrictions and tariffs may apply. We kindly ask that all guests are seated in the church by 14:30.

Same grounds, book it yourself

Forest Hotel

For those unable to stay with us at the venue, we're delighted to inform you that the Forest Hotel sits only a two minute walk from Zinar Castle. Choosing to stay here means you will still be right with us throughout the entire weekend.

How to book

Email the hotel directly, or book on any of the usual sites. No code and nothing to mention. These rooms are not part of our block, so they are yours to sort out however you like.

If you would rather see the city

Kraków Old Town

Plenty of choice at every price, and worth it if you are arriving early or staying into the Sunday.

Bear in mind you will need a taxi out to the castle on both evenings, and again at the end of Saturday night, which is a long, late journey.

How to book

Book on any of the usual sites. Anywhere in or around the Old Town puts you a few minutes from the church, and a taxi from the castle.

Good to know

Weather

Warm, 25 to 30°C

August is hot and sometimes stormy. Bring something light for the evening.

Money

Polish złoty

Not the euro. Cards work almost everywhere, but carry a little cash for taxis.

Plugs

Type E, 230V

Two round pins. UK and Irish guests will need an adapter.

Language

Dziękuję

Thank you. English is widely spoken, but this one goes a long way.

If you have a spare day

Bartosz's picks

Wawel Hill

The royal castle and cathedral above the river. Go early, before the coaches.

Kazimierz

The old Jewish quarter, now the best food and bars in the city.

Rynek Główny

Europe's largest medieval market square, a short walk from the church.

Wieliczka

The salt mine, half an hour out of town. Book the tour in advance.
