PKP Intercity domestic connections
Intercity's search engine is a simple way to plan your rail travel in Poland. The system works in real time. You can check:
- seat availability,
- type of train (EIP, EIC, IC, TLK) and facilities on the route,
- ticket fares.
There is also the possibility to filter on the website according to many data such as:
- departure times,
- number of train changes,
- intermediate stations.
When selecting a seat, a diagram appears where you can choose the carriage and which seats are available and which are occupied. Each carriage has marked amenities - a quiet zone, seats for the disabled, a catering carriage or a separate area for transporting bicycles.
PKP Intercity international connections
