Invitation! We invite you to make the trip and join us for this special experience. This is a chance to be part of the DVD. Here are some travel and hotel details, which might help. Flights Why not fly to Katowice airport (which in fact is an airport in Pyrzowice - a town 30 km away from Katowice). There are buses and taxis from there. There are cheap flights to this airport, from the UK for example you can take Wizz Air (from Luton Airport) for very low prices. Hotels We suggest that you check the offer of the Qubus Hotel. You will find a map there (the Wyspianski Theatre is at Warszawska street at the bottom of the map). Another good option is also Novotel. A cheaper but still a good hotel (not that close to the venue though) is The Campanile Hotel. (sadly, the website is only in Polish), the prices are here. Tickets Tickets can be purchased from Metalopolis. Choose your language (English or Polish), and then select ‘tickets’ or ‘bilety’. |
