Regional and longer-distance trains link Szamotuły with Poznań, usually in about half an hour. This is the simplest way to visit, since the town is small and the main sights are walkable once you arrive.
Drivers approach from Poznań on regional roads toward the northwest. A car is useful if you are combining Szamotuły with villages, forests, or lakes farther out in Greater Poland, but it is not needed for the town itself.
