Our recommended way is to fly into Warsaw airport (WAW), then take an Uber from the airport to Warsaw Cental train station (~15 min), then take a train from Warsaw Central to the Torun Main station (~2hr). After this, you can take another Uber or bus to get to the venue.
It will be warm and possibly humid during our wedding, so light and breathable outfits are recommended. In Polish tradition, white is reserved for the bride and black dresses are associated with funerals, so please avoid these colors of dresses. Our wedding theme is garden flowers, so we recommend pinks, light greens, yellows, oranges, and other cheerful Summer shades. Men usually wear suits and take off their jackets later in the evening. Most importantly, we want you to be comfortable and have fun celebrating with us!
We booked hotel rooms for 2 nights (July 2nd - 3rd) so that guests will be able to check in the day before and get situated then will have a place to sleep for the night of the wedding.
LANGUAGE: Poland's main language is Polish. English is most common in populated cities and among the younger generations (Gen Z and millennial). Gen X and above were taught Russian in school. TRAVEL VISAS: Poland does not require visas for US citizens to enter as of Oct 2025, but keep up to date with travel information to make sure this remains the case. If you are flying through the UK, you may require an ETA visa. Information for what is required to travel to Poland can be found here: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/international-travel/International-Travel-Country-Information-Pages/Poland.html. POWER OUTLETS: Polish electrical outlets use an EU style plug and a different voltage than the US. You will need a EU adapter to use US style electrical plugs. Poland uses 240 volts AC from wall sockets instead of 120 volts AC like the US, so check your electrical device to make sure it supports this higher voltage before plugging it in (usually marked as "Input: 100-240 VAC" on the device or charger brick). PAYMENT: Tap to pay is the most common form of payment in Poland. Make sure your card has a chip or use Apple pay. CURRENCY: The Polish currency is the Polish Zloty. The conversion rate between the two is currently around $1 USD = 3.6 zl. TRANSPORTATION: Poland has amazing public transportation. Getting around is very possible without a rental car. Google maps is the most common way to figure out what buses and trams to take to get to destinations. CELLULAR: Lots of stores and restaurants will have free wifi, but buying a pre-paid SIM card will give you much more flexibility. I have used the Orange e-sim in the past. SAFETY: Poland is significantly safer than the US. Pick pockets may be around in very populated areas (ex: main train station), but other than that there are no worries. STORES: In Poland, most stores are closed on Sundays. The exception to this are restaurants, convenience stores (Zabka), gas stations, and bus/train stations.
