Getting to Kraków

By flight: Kraków John Paul II International Airport Kraków-Balice (KRK) has direct connections to most major European cities. From the airport, the city centre is a 20-minute taxi or train ride.

By train: Kraków Główny is well connected to Warsaw, Berlin, Vienna, and Prague.

By car: If you're up for a road trip, take the ferry from Nynäshamn to Gdańsk or from Karlskrona to Gdynia and enjoy the drive south through Poland to Kraków.

Where to stay

We recommend basing yourself in Stare Miasto (Old Town) or Kazimierz (the historic Jewish quarter). Both are walkable, beautiful, and full of cafés.

Getting to the venue

Reception: Dwór w Tomaszowicach is about 20 minutes outside the city centre. Transport is arranged from church ceremony to the venue.

While you're here

Close by, in the city

Rynek Główny & Sukiennice

The Main Market Square, with the Renaissance Cloth Hall standing proudly in the middle of it all.

Wawel Royal Castle

The castle above the river — and the famous dragon myth, complete with his den by the water.

Kazimierz

The old Jewish quarter, full of cosy cafés, bars and restaurants. Perfect for an evening stroll.

St. Mary's Basilica

Listen for the trumpet call from the tower — played every hour, on the hour.

The Vistula river

A walk along the boulevards, or a drink on one of the river barges.

Planty

The green park ring that wraps around the entire Old Town — made for slow walks and coffee to go.

If you stay a little longer

Wieliczka Salt Mine

A half-day trip just outside the city, and absolutely worth it. Underground chapels carved entirely out of salt.

Ojców National Park

Poland's smallest national park — a fairytale limestone valley with cliffs, caves and the Renaissance Pieskowa Skała castle. Barely 20 minutes from the manor itself.

Zakopane & the Tatras

A long but beautiful day trip to the mountains in the south, if you fancy proper alpine air.
