Baltic Express train – routes and services
Baltic Express is an IC-category train running on the Wrocław Główny – Szklarska Poręba Górna route. There is one service, which runs every day, so passengers can count on a regular connection in both directions. If you are planning a trip on your days off, you can check the Baltic Express timetable for the entire weekend in the PolishTrains search engine.
The route connecting Wrocław with the Karkonosze works well for both business travel and weekend trips to the mountains, as it allows you to reach the area directly, without changing trains, just outside Szklarska Poręba. PolishTrains displays the full Baltic Express timetable without requiring you to log in to the service, making it easier to compare times quickly before booking.
