By the time you’re reading this, most of you have probably already booked your flights. However, if there’s anyone among you who has no idea how to get to Poland, here’s some helpful information: the closest international airport is Warsaw Chopin Airport (WAW). Warsaw also has two other airports, including Warsaw Radom Airport (RDO). And while our wedding actually takes place in Radom, the Radom airport currently offers only one weekly destination – Larnaca in Cyprus. So, if you’re planning a holiday in Cyprus on your way to or from our wedding, Radom Airport will be a perfect choice. In all other cases, it will be much faster to fly into Warsaw Chopin Airport and then continue your journey by car or train.

Our wedding will take place in Radom, located 100 km (60 miles) south of Warsaw and 200 km (120 miles) north of Kraków, along the S7 expressway connecting these two major cities. Traveling by car usually takes about one hour from Warsaw and two hours from Kraków. Radom is often referred to as a “bedroom town” for Warsaw, so if you’re planning to travel from Warsaw to Radom on Friday afternoon, be prepared for heavy traffic when leaving Warsaw, which can extend your trip to as long as two hours.

If you prefer to travel by train, numerous PKP Intercity trains run to Radom Główny (Radom Main Station). Tickets can be purchased through the official PKP Intercity mobile app (available in the App Store). Although the app automatically adjusts to your phone’s language, when searching for connections, you must enter Polish city names (for example, Warszawa Zachodnia instead of Warsaw West). The average travel time from Warsaw to Radom by train is around one hour, and the ticket price is approximately 33 PLN.

The official currency in Poland is the Polish złoty (abbreviated as PLN or zł). Exchange rates fluctuate, but for years a simplified conversion has been roughly 3:1 for the Canadian dollar (1 CAD = 3 PLN), 4:1 for the Euro (1 EUR = 4 PLN), and similar to the U.S. dollar. In recent years, Poland has significantly outpaced many other countries (such as Germany) in terms of digital payment adoption, meaning that during your stay you’ll likely hardly ever need cash. Nowadays, even the smallest transactions — in local shops, restaurants, or ticket machines — are typically cashless.

Directly before the Polish wedding, we are planning a short ceremony in the garden of the Karo Hotel, during which we will repeat our marriage vows, kiss bread and salt (a Polish tradition), raise a toast with our guests, and invite everyone inside. Before entering the reception hall, each guest will have the opportunity to come up to us and offer their wishes (this is also a tradition).

Yes, the day before the wedding (July 31) there will be a rehearsal dinner or a small get-together for guests who have traveled from abroad. It will take place at the Meritum restaurant in the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in Radom at 6:00 PM.
