 Warsaw - Krakow train by HORSCHECK
The main train station (Warszawa Centralna) is located right in the city centre just next to the famous Palace of Culture and Science. The labyrinth of passages and shops in the station is quite confusing and packed with dubious characters. So get yourself out of this place as quick as possible.
I recommend to buy train tickets at a rail agent in town instead of queueing at one of the tiny little booth in the train station. Leave a Comment

 CENTRAL WARSAW STATION
(WARSZAWA CENTRALNA) by matcrazy1
I buy train tickets alway 2nd class at the railway station usually just before departure of the train: in 2006 from Tychy it cost in total 78 zl (20.5 euros) one way. The fare is based on distance (km) + seat reservation fee. So, expect to pay similar price from/to Krakow, Poznan or Gdansk. Very rarely (Friday evening from Warsaw, Sunday evening to Warsaw; it happened to me only once) tickets are sold out and one must wait for the next train (1 hour or so). Tickets are available in some tourist offices and at conductor at train (warning: you must find him immediately after boarding the train and pay small additional fee).
Time of travel (hours:minutes) to Warsaw from:
Katowice 2:40
Krakow 2:54
Poznan 2:50
Wroclaw 5:00
Szczecin 5:04
Berlin, Germany 5:40
Wien, Austria 7:28
Bratislava, Slovakia 7:59
Prague, Czech 8:46
Vilnius, Lithuania 9:34
Minsk, Belarus 9:55
Moscow, Russia 20:37

 IC train towards Krakow by filipdebont
You can easily find al the connections and the time schedules.
Mostly I used IC trains, because these trains do not stop so often, so travelling time is shorter.
Via the website of the Polish Intercity company: www.intercity.com.pl/en/main, you should be able to make a reservation. But unfortunately it did not work from abroad.
But like in my case a friendly Polish girl (thank you Anna) made these reservations for me, and then did send me the reservation forms.
And the system works. Once you have your reservation, you have a wagon number and a seat number, you just have to present this reservation form at the conductor and pay the money to him.
So no problems standing in line to get a ticket, no language problems at the ticket office. Leave a Comment

On my way out of Warsaw, I arrived well over 2 hours early and I still barely made my flight. It was absolutely ridiculous how underequipped this airport was. They only had two security screening devices and the lines were insane! Be sure you come VERY early when you are leaving Warsaw. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 in the train by filipdebont
A had a train at 12h05 towards Krakow. So plenty of time to look around. I also went outside the train station, and from there I could already see my hotel for the last night of my Poland trip (Hotel Metropol). From here I also could admire the big building of the Palace of Culture and Science.
So the train from Warsaw to Krakow:
- Warszawa Centralna - Krakow Glowny
- travelling time : 2h55
- travelling distance : 292 km
- price : 85 zl. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Warsaw has few big railway stations. The most well known is the Central Station - almost all long distance trains go through it. Just 200 meters east of it the Srodmiescie Station serves local trains going in east-west and south directions. Warsaw Commuter Railway is located just 100 meters west of the Central Station.
Dworzec Wschodni (Eastern Station) is located in Praga district. All westbound trains originating from Warsaw start their journey there. Dworzec Zachodni (Western Station) serves the same purpose for the eastbound trains and may be important for those who want to change train for a long distance or international bus (the biggest bus terminal is there). Not all trains stop at Zachodni. Other stations include Dworzec Gdanski (north of the centre), where you can take a suburban train to the north and Dworzec Wilenski (in the centre of Praga district) serving commuters travelling to the north-east.
The train schedule is posted in many places on each station, you can check it also on the internet (http://bahn.hafas.de - for the whole Europe). Tickets for any destination in Poland can be purchased on any station as well as in many travel agencies in the city. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainWebsite: www.pkp.pl Other Contact: www.polrail.com

 free drink and snack on the
train by filipdebont
First I thought, he was selling drinks.
No no, he was bringing free drinks, you could get coffee, tea, orange juice or water. With this drink he also gave a snack (a chocolate waffle).
But this was only the case on the IC-trains, like from Poznan to Warsaw, it was an EC-train and there you needed to pay for your drink. Leave a Comment
