IC 5700 Bałtyk train – route and timetable
IC 5700 Bałtyk is a PKP Intercity train running from Gdynia Główna to Poznań Główny, covering the entire route in over three hours. Along the way, it stops at 15 stations, including Sopot, Gdańsk Wrzeszcz, Pruszcz Gdański, Pelplin and Laskowice Pomorskie. This connection links the coast with Wielkopolska without the need to change trains.
The IC 5700 route is suitable for passengers travelling from Trójmiasto further into the country who value one direct train instead of combining several regional services. Stops at Pelplin and Laskowice Pomorskie also make this connection convenient for travellers from smaller towns in Pomorze.
The price of a ticket for IC 5700 starts at several dozen zloty, but depends heavily on the selected carriage category – IC Intercity is the cheapest option, while travelling on Pendolino costs up to several times more. You can buy a ticket for the IC 5700 train through PolishTrains without creating an account, and if you provide an incorrect email address when purchasing, simply contact customer service to regain access to your ticket.
Most passengers from Gdynia buy tickets 1-3 days before travelling, while another large group chooses to buy 2-4 weeks in advance. Sales from Gdynia peak in August, which is worth taking into account when planning a journey during this period. Before travelling, it is worth checking the current ticket price in the PolishTrains search engine, as differences between sellers often result from different carriage categories and the time of purchase, rather than from the route itself.
The IC category means comfortable PKP Intercity carriages, less luxurious than those on Pendolino. After purchasing a ticket through PolishTrains (polishtrains.eu), a passenger with a Karta Dużej Rodziny receives confirmation of the discount by SMS and in the app, without needing to visit a ticket office.
