Deutsche Bahn's activities in Poland cover two key areas: passenger transport and freight transport. In the passenger segment, the German carrier cooperates with PKP Intercity, operating international connections between major Polish and German cities, including Warsaw, Poznań, Wrocław, Cracow and Berlin. DB trains provide a high level of travel comfort - with air-conditioned carriages, free Wi-Fi and a dining car (availability dependent on rolling stock; regional trainsets may offer fewer amenities than trains on international routes).

You can check the current departures and arrivals board for Warszawa Centralna in the PolishTrains search engine before heading to the platform. Running parallel to the passenger services is DB Cargo Polska, part of the international Deutsche Bahn group. It is one of the largest rail operators in the country, specialising in the transport of raw materials or industrial products. The company carries out full-train, single-wagon and special transports, including oversized cargo or hazardous materials . Thanks to its access to the European railway network, DB Cargo connects Polish industrial plants with seaports, container terminals and logistics centres throughout Europe, supporting the development of trade and export.

Not every customer needs an entire train - which is why DB Cargo Polska also makes it possible to transport individual wagons or groups of wagons. This is a solution that ensures regular deliveries even for smaller volumes. The distributed transport system allows shipments from different shippers to be combined into a single train, guaranteeing timely and cost-effective transport.

This also enables small and medium-sized companies to benefit from professional rail services at a European level.

DB Cargo Polska also carries out special transports, including oversized, dangerous (in accordance with the RID Convention) or heavy-weight cargo. The company has the appropriate rolling stock, equipment and a technical team to ensure the safe flow of transport. Of particular importance are intermodal transports - combining rail with road and sea transport. Thanks to its cooperation with European terminals , DB Cargo Poland enables the smooth flow of goods between land terminals and the ports of Gdańsk, Gdynia, Hamburg, Rotterdam and Antwerp.

The company consistently invests in modern electric locomotives and low-emission internal combustion vehicles, reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. At the same time, digital cargo monitoring and tracking systems are being implemented, allowing customers to see the status of their transport in real time. Automated manoeuvres and modern logistics centres increase safety and operational efficiency. With these solutions, DB Cargo Polska is today the leader in the digitalisation of rail services in Poland.

Tickets for Deutsche Bahn connections can be conveniently purchased online via the PolishTrains service, fully in Polish and without the need for foreign websites.

If necessary, a Polish-speaking helpline is available to assist with purchasing, returning or changing a ticket.

Deutsche Bahn offers the possibility to purchase a ticket up to 120 days in advance. This option allows you to plan your journey carefully months in advance.

Deutsche Bahn does not honour Polish student cards or other local documents entitling to discounts.

When it comes to transporting goods, however, you should contact DB Cargo Poland directly - the company responsible for the rail transport of raw materials, industrial products and special cargo. It operates independently of the passenger segment and offers dedicated logistics solutions for companies. In this way, both private travellers and companies can benefit from the comprehensive offer of the Deutsche Bahn Group in Poland - tailored to different needs and scale of operations.
