    Getting TO/AROUND: Kalwaria Zebrzydowska is located in southern Poland, 36 km (22.4 mi) southwest of Krakow, 14 km (8.7 mi) east of Wadowice - birthplace of pope John Paul II and 37 km (23 mi) southeast of Auchwitz (Oswiecim) - former Nazi concentration camp, memorial and museum now.



    BY CAR:
    From Krakow:
    drive 16 km (10 mi) southwards Highway E77 (direction Chyzne, Zakopane), take exit (turn right) to Highway 96 (direction Wadowice, Bielsko-Biala) to Kalwaria Zebrzydowska. Turn left (follow the direction sign/table on left, easy to miss) towards the sanctuary.

    From Wadowice:
    drive eastwards Highway 96 (direction Krakow)

    From Auschwitz (Oswiecim):
    drive 10 km (6 mi) eastwards Highway 950 to Zator, continue 13 km (8 mi) Highway 950 southwards to Wadowice, take Highway 96 (direction Krakow).

    Getting TO/AROUND: BY TRAIN
    Hmm... not my recommendation although it's cheap.
    From Krakow Glowny (Main Railway Station) you must get to Krakow Plaszow station first (by train prefferably). Then take a train (only a few daily) towards Bielsko-Biala. Finally get a taxi or a bus from the railway station to the sanctuary. It takes... at least 2 hours! - 36 km (22.4 mi) by a car.
    Check your train timetable: European timetable.

    The best possibility (although still not comfortable) if you don't have a car and don't want to spend money for a taxi.
    Departures from Kalwaria Zebrzydowska: click here. Choose fast bus (marked in red), normal buses are very sloooow.
    Departures from Krakow: click here, click on top left (Odjazdy z dworca PKS w Krakowie = departures from PKS bus terminal, on Pawia Street, oposite to main railway station), click on letter "K", choose KALWARIA KLASZT. (Kalwaria monastery): departures on left (wyjazd godz.), arrivals = przyjazd godz.
    It takes over 1 hour but in contrast to train you get to the monastery instead to a railway station down in the city = it's faster and cheaper.

     Ignorant me! How did I miss Kalwaria until now? Always thought that Czestochowa is the most important pilgrimage site in Poland, but now I understand that there is much more. Thanks for this fantastic tour, Matt.

     Matt, what a massive page with loads of interesting photos. I quite like the Polish red Poczta boxes. Perhaps I should take this place into account for a possible daytrip from Krakow if I ever go there again. *winkygrin*

     Nice page! Pitty I wasnt her when I was in Krakow, maybe another time. Do you know, Vilnius has Kalwaria as well, but a bit smaller ;) Raimis.

     What about shops selling fernitures, Matt? When I last visited Kalwaria every second shop sold fernitures... :) Anyway, great overview... Made me want to visit the town again... :)
