Comparing the size of tickets
Hi!
I would like to ask if anyone knows how regular train / bus services are from Lodz to Krakow and roughly how long they take and how much it costs.
Hope someone can help, I'm really looking forward to travelling to Poland!
You can find timetables and fares here: http://rozklad.pkp.pl/bin/query.exe/en
HI
For example You can have train at 9:53 AM from Lodz, in Krakow You are at 3:55 PM (in Zdunska Wola You have to change train)
so it takes 6 hours
cost of one way ticket is - 2nd class- 45 zl (14 euro)
1st class- 63 zł (19 euro)
have a nice time in Poland!!!
Here are some trains from Lodz to Krakow. The shortest ride = less connections. Price is 133zl for 2 class and 167zl for 1st class.
You will have to change trains probably in Warsaw(warszawa). No need to pre book the train. You can get a ticket on the train station in the same day or day before. If you running late you can get a ticket on the train for additional 12 zl (if I remember the price, but it was insignificant amount).

Not a cultural tip, but a general tip ...
VT member Janina_B (who lives in Lodz) told me to 'walk around Lodz looking up because the beauty of the city is in its architecture' - she was absolutely right - it's easy to walk along Piotrkowska just looking at the fashionable shops, restaurants and bars - but look above them and you will see many fine examples of 19th century/early 20th century architecture.
Thanks for the tip Janina ...
Visit the Jewish cemetery on ul. Bracka and ul. Zmienna, the largest Jewish cemetery in Europe. It was created in 1892 when residents of the nearby neighbourhood refused to allow the expansion of the old cemetery on ul. Wesola. The Lodz textile industrialist Izrael Poznanski donated the first 10.5 hectares of land towards the establishment of a new cemetery.
The first people buried there were the victims of the Cholera outbreak in 1892.
During the First World War, the cemetery was badly damaged, but renovation was started at the beginning of the 1920's when Poland regained independence.
During the Holocaust, Lodz had the largest Jewish ghetto after Warsaw and the cemetery was situated in the eastern part of the ghetto. By 1944, approximately 43,000 Jews were buried in what is now called the 'Ghetto Field' part of the cemetery.
The cemetery is open 9am-3pm every day except Saturday. Men need a head cover.
If you take tram no. 1 from ul. Kilinskiego, get off at ul. Strykowska. The cemetery entrance on ul. Zmienna is a short walk from there.
An old-fashioned polish tavern. The place is decorated in a folk style. The waiters wear colorful, traditional folk costumes from the Podhale region (in the mountains). Many items on the menu have original Podhale dialect spellings so it might get difficult trying to figure out what's what even if you know polish. But that's the whole fun of it!!!
Ul Piotrkowska is the lifeline of the city, stretching five kilometres. Walking along (or taking a rikshah for part of its length, at least in the tourist season during summer) will give you and impression of the multitude of people and cultures that once marked Lodz. You will find many of the main shops, restaurants and clubs either on Piotrkowska or in the streets bordering to it
The Survivor’s Park is the latest public park to have been designed and landscaped in Lodz. It covers an area of 8.5 hectares. The park honours Poles who saved Jews during world war two. At one end of the park is a mound that is 8 metres in height with a sculpture of a man sitting on bench. The mound is a good vantage point to gain an over view of the park. As I was walking towards the mound I could see a person sitting on a bench and hoping they would move before I got there. It was only as I got closer that I realised it was a sculpture, how dumb am I, but it demonstrated how good it is. Standing on top of the mound you can view the other part of the park which has a monument in the shape of a Star of David with a reflecting pool. On the walls of the monument are plaques with the names of 3,351 Poles who have been awarded the status of Righteous among the Nations. Poland 6,135 has men and women who have been awarded the honorary title of Righteous among the Nations, the highest of any country. The penalty for a Pole assisting a Jew who had left the Ghetto was death. The assistance could be as simple as giving a lift in a vehicle or some food.
