Entrance to concerts in the Arcaded Courtyard: Berrecci Gate and the gate next to the Senator's Tower.
The gate opens 30 minutes before the start of the concert.

The concerts take place in open space – in the royal courtyards: Batory and Arcaded Courtyards. We are playing ‘in Nature’, so please protect yourself against possible cold or rain with headgear, cloaks or scarves (not necessarily umbrellas, which may disturb others). Remember: the weather can be changeable, although the music always keeps you cheerful.

We also ask you not to take photos or record during the concerts. We will be grateful for switching off mobile phones and electronic devices: they may disturb the beauty of the music and the contemplation of the illuminated architecture of the Wawel Royal Castle.

We wish all the audience an unforgettable aesthetic experience!
