Malbork can be reached easily in a car thanks to the nearby A1 highway which runs south from Gdansk passing by Malbork on its way. If you are coming from Warsaw it is recommended that you head east out of the city following signs for the A2 autostrada to Lodz and Poznan. Approximately 100km from Warsaw you should turn north onto the A1 towards Gdansk. Whichever way you approach from you should turn off onto route 22 which will bring you into the centre of Malbork in about 15 minutes. The castle will be on your left as you enter the town. There are numerous paid car parks dotted around the town some of which are monitored.

If you don’t have your own car and don’t want to hire one from a car rental company you can hire a taxi to take you and bring you back. While considerably more expensive than the train, the cost is still not prohibitive to most western visitors especially if there are a few of you. To book a taxi, which will cost you a minimum of 200zł depending on waiting time, call Neptun Taxi on (+48) 58 511 15 55.
