Getting There By Rail

Polskie Koleje Panstwowe (PKP) (Polish Railways) (website: www.pkp.com.pl) operates increasingly clean and efficient trains on the Polish rail network. The best are the InterCity and EuroCity (EC) trains. Tickets can be purchased at the station or through Orbis tourist offices. Information (in Polish) can be obtained from national rail enquiries (tel: (012) 422 9313, domestic or 422 4182, international).

The Dworzec Glowny (Main Railway Station; tel: (012) 624 5439) is located at plac Dworcowy 1. The station has 24-hour left-luggage facilities.

Rail services: EuroCity and InterCity trains arrive from Warsaw (journey time – 2 hours 40 minutes), Vienna (7 hours 20 minutes), Prague (8 hours), Berlin (8 hours 30 minutes) and Budapest (10 hours). Care should be taken on some night train routes as thieves operate.

Transport to the city: The station is a short walk northeast of the Old Town. Taxis are available on the upper level above the platforms and in front of the station.
