PKP Gdańsk Main – Wrocław Main. Train timetable

Passengers travelling between the two major academic centres for business choose the Gdańsk to Wrocław route, as do students returning to Lower Silesia and tourists planning a longer journey through central Poland. Families with children travel this way most often in summer, when the route combines seaside relaxation with visits to relatives in the southern part of the country. Some travellers view this direction as one stage of a longer trip around Lower Silesia, with a change of trains partway through.

From Gdańsk Główny station, the majority of passengers, 50 per cent, choose IC Intercity category trains. Pendolino accounts for 23 per cent of departures. The Wrocław direction is served mainly by IC trains, so a passenger counting on the fastest Pendolino train will not find it on this route.

Wrocław Główny on this route is served by long-distance trains, not REGIO – this abbreviation means regional trains, which usually run on shorter stretches within a province. When buying a ticket on the Gdańsk – Wrocław route from PolishTrains, a passenger therefore chooses between Intercity and TLK category, without needing to consider the regional offer.

The journey from Gdańsk to Wrocław takes over four hours in the fastest option. Depending on the chosen service, the journey time varies from over four hours to over seven hours. Some services run without a change, whilst others require a train change during the route.

A passenger choosing a service with one change usually travels longer, but has a greater choice of departure times. Those who prefer fewer changes should look for a direct service already when searching for a connection in PolishTrains, as such services are fewer than those requiring a change.

Passengers pay for a standard ticket on the Gdańsk – Wrocław route typically from around PLN 55 to around PLN 110. A higher amount must be paid for a faster train, a lower amount for a slower category train. A family with a child or a person with a bicycle should reserve a seat in advance, as on such a long route free seats become scarce quickly.

Students, those under 26 years of age and pensioners can use statutory discounts, provided they show a valid ID on the train. A receipt for a ticket bought from PolishTrains can be downloaded after purchase is complete, which makes it easier to settle a business trip.

Trains travelling with a change stop most often in [Poznań Główny](##BRAK## or [Toruń Główny](##BRAK## more rarely in Piła Główna. A ticket bought from PolishTrains arrives on your phone as an SMS and in the app, so during a change you only need to show it to the conductor from your screen. A refund for an unused ticket can also be handled online, without a visit to the ticket office at the station.
