Pendolino Krakow - Warszawa Wschodnia

A traveller travelling between Kraków and Warsaw uses one of the most frequently served long-distance routes in Poland, operated mainly by Pendolino and Intercity. The journey takes from over two hours to more than three hours, depending on the train category and the number of stops along the route.

The timetable for this route changes several times a year, when PKP Intercity introduces a new range of services. Some connections run without changes, while others have an additional intermediate stop, which extends the journey time. The current service pattern for the selected day appears on PolishTrains after the departure station, destination station and travel date have been entered.

A passenger preparing for this route should usually budget from around PLN 65 to around PLN 170 for a standard ticket, depending on when it is bought - a service booked further in advance is cheaper than a ticket bought just before departure. PolishTrains shows the current fare for the selected day at the connection search stage, before the passenger chooses a specific service. The price also varies between train categories, as Pendolino usually costs more than Intercity for the same distance.
