Train Travel Guide Poland
A guide for train travel in Poland and train ticket information.
Polish trains on intercity routes are at a relatively acceptable European level (in terms of comfort and safety). The railway network is much more extensive in the west of the country than in the east. From Warsaw you can reach the other main cities within 2-6 hours and prices per person range from 15-50 EUR depending on the distance and the train classification.
PKP (Polskie Koleje Panstwowe) is a state-controlled railway company. The schedules, in Polish, are on www.pkp.pl (official website). The schedule of intercity routes and sale of e-tickets (selected connections only, more languages available) are on www.intercity.pl.
Most people prefer a printed ticket as a more secured option. It is advisable to buy tickets earlier, because the popular connections may get booked out in high season. If you use our service, we will gladly help you make your travel arrangements smoother and more comfortable. If you use this Custom Trip Planning Service your personal planner will purchase tickets for you and deliver them to your hotel room or send them to your home address.
If you want to tour Poland extensively and do not wish to rent a car or hire chauffeured transport, we can put together a rail tour of Poland.
Train Travel Tips
Buying Train Tickets
As an inbound travel agency and a service provider, we specialize in tours rather than transport services. Thus, if you want to book several services in one tour package, contact us and we will assure competitive pricing and exclusive customer service. If you need just one service item, be it railway or coach tickets, airport transfers or coach transport only, we prefer to tip you on which direct Polish service provider you need.
We charge a 50 PLN service fee for each ticket reservation (regardless of the total number of tickets) and the delivery to your hotel in Warsaw or sending by post to your home address. The railway ticket purchase option is available only as an add-on for customers who have reserved a Tailor-made tour.
