Hancza train – routes and services
Hancza is an IC-category train running between Mockava and Kraków Główny. Two services of this train run daily, one in each direction, giving travellers a regular, predictable alternative to travelling by car on this section of Poland.
This route connects the south of the country with the Podlasie-Suwałki region, making it a convenient option both for people travelling to the Suwałki area and for those heading from that direction to Krakow for a longer stay or to change for further travel south. You can buy a ticket for this train without creating an account in the PolishTrains search engine, and after purchase it is sent immediately by SMS and available in the app, making it easier to show it to the conductor without printing.
The price of a ticket for Hancza depends primarily on the time of purchase and the class selected – the cheapest second-class options usually cost noticeably less than first-class tickets, where the difference can be significant. Passengers most often buy tickets some time before their planned journey, which helps avoid the higher fares available just before departure. PolishTrains shows the current timetable and seat availability in both directions on this route, making it easier to compare dates before purchasing.
Hancza runs in the IC category, so it offers a higher standard than regional trains – including seats in air-conditioned carriages and the option to reserve a specific seat. If your travel plans change, you can refund your ticket online through the PolishTrains service without visiting a ticket office, which also applies to tickets with an additional charge for transporting an animal.
