Bielsko-Biała can be accessed from all sides of the city via regional roads, making it easy to reach from various parts of the region. However, it’s important to note that the festival takes place in the city center. During peak hours, parking spaces may be more crowded, and traffic can be heavy, so it is advisable to arrive a bit earlier.

TRAVEL BY BUS OR TRAIN

Domestic and intercity buses arrive at the PKS main bus station in Bielsko-Biała. Right next to it is the Bielsko-Biała Main Railway Station. From the nearby bus stops, Warszawska Dworzec and Piastowska Dworzec, it is easy to take city bus lines that provide quick access to the city center. To reach the Festival Office, you can get off at the Hotel Prezydent stop (350 m) or the Plac Żwirki i Wigóry stop (250 m).
For those who prefer walking, the Festival Office is located about 1 km from the both bus and train main station, offering a pleasant stroll to the heart of the festival. This walk allows you to soak in the atmosphere of the city, also known as the “Little Vienna.” The route takes you along Mickiewicza Street, one of the most architecturally interesting thoroughfares in Bielsko-Biała, where you can admire landmarks such as the Teodor Sixt Villa from 1883, the Hermann Schneider Villa from 1905, and the family home of Karol Korn.
Bus tickets can be purchased from the ticket machines at bus stops, directly from the driver (cash payment), or from the ticket machines located inside each bus (card payment).
We recommend that those traveling by train pay attention to the historic building of the PKP train station and its interior, which is a unique element of Bielsko-Biała’s architecture and one of the most beautiful landmarks in the city.
