The nearest useful international airport is in Gdańsk . Kaliningrad could also be a consideration for those with a Russian visa.
From Gdańsk, take route E77 to Elbląg and then head north along the south coast of the Vistula Bay by road 503.
The town's station last saw a train in 2006. However Braniewo, 10 km away near the Kaliningrad border, and Elbląg are on the functioning rail network .
Local buses running between Elbląg (7-11 zł) and Braniewo (5-8 zł) pass through Frombork.

The town of Frombork is extremely small so no transport is needed. You can get anywhere on foot.
There is a hotel, though perhaps more characterful (and less expensive) are the many guesthouses scattered throughout the town.
