Firstly we want to say THANK YOU to all of you who will attend our wedding MILES AWAY FROM PRAGUE!!!

HOW TO GET THERE:

You have the following options:

By Car – it will take you 8-10 hours to get there

By Train

§         A train leaves Hlavni nadrazi and goes to Kosice through Kysak – a village only 20 km from Prešov. You don’t have to change!

§         The train schedule is the following:  

  Hlavní nádraží – departure   Kysak – arrival  
Leave Friday Morning 07:05 16:15
Leave Friday Midday 11:05 20:15
Leave Friday Evening 19:07 05:17
Leave Friday Night 21:44 07:47

The price of a single ticket – CZK 530, return CZK 1060 – 2nd class.

First class is 50 % more expensive.

Sleeping compartment – additional CZK 260 – a compartment for three people.

How to get from Kysak to Prešov:

1.      Usually there is a train connection from Kysak to Prešov. A slow train waits for the fast one to arrive to Kysak and only then departures to Prešov.

2.      A Taxi Option – Do not expect taxi waiting in front of the station, it’s too expensive for locals. Let me know in advance and I will arrange a taxi to pick you up.

TAXI COST FROM KYSAK TO PREŠOV IS APPROXIMATELY 500 SKK

Telephone for AB Taxi Prešov (the most honest taxi company in the world) +421-91-77 33 733

 By plane – to Košice Airport 40 km distance from Prešov

§         The cheapest ticket I found so far is for approx. CZK 6.000. If you consider this option, make advanced booking as it gets pretty busy.

§         The quickest way to get to Prešov from Košice Airport is by a taxi. There is a bus from the airport to the main bus and train station in Košice – it only runs three times per day though. It will take you an hour to get to Prešov by bus or by train from Košice.

* Taxi Transport from Košice Airport to Prešov is about 1,000 SKK. (Train would cost 40 SKK for those of you who love to hurry up and wait.)

CHECK THE EXCHANGE RATE SKK/CZK. Czechs usually have better rate to convert from CZK to SKK than Slovaks!

To get more information about the town of Prešov go to WWW.PRESOV.SK internet address. It is in English.

If you want to see the cathedral where Erik and myself get married, click on St Nicholas Church in the main menu of Presov Internet Site.

Prešov is a charming city with one main street only and everything is within a walking distance.

When using public transportation, make sure you have a valid ticket for SKK 8 – the fine is SKK 800,- so it’s worth having one.

There is an Irish Pub in Prešov which stays open until 7 am. The address is Slovenská 39.

The Wedding Ceremony in the Church will take ˝ hour only so try to be there on time. The priest who will marry us will be my younger brother Jan.

We will also have an official interpreter translating the ceremony into English.

After the ceremony is over, we will walk to Hotel Senator which is only 80 m from the Church. The Wedding Party will start with a welcoming drink followed by a main meal.

Coming from a Catholic family it is a tradition to say a prayer before eating so I would like to ask you to respect that and stand while we will be praying. It will only take a few minutes.

Around midnight I will change my wedding dress for a national costume and will be allowed to dance ONLY FOR MONEY. So bring along some CASH, guys.

Afterwards WE WILL JUST PARTY!!!

There will also be  a Pool Table available.

Music – DJ – not Vlad Rinco!! WARNING -  We will have to listen to some RUSH Music.

We think we covered all the major issues.                            

See you in Prešov!!!

 Love,

 Anna & Erik
