Visitor Tips: Travel and Accommodation on Wolin
- The festival grounds sit on Ostrów Island on the Dziwna river right in the town of Wolin, an easy walk from the center
- Wolin lies close to the German border near Świnoujście, so arriving via Szczecin or the island of Usedom works well
- Since the festival takes place outdoors, weatherproof clothing and sturdy shoes are recommended
- Accommodation along the Baltic coast should be booked well ahead given the large number of visitors
- Single day tickets can be secured in advance through the official ticket partner
