EIC 3550 Kaszub train – route and timetable
EIC 3550 Kaszub is an Express InterCity train running from Zakopane to Gdynia Główna, operated by PKP Intercity. The entire journey takes more than eight hours, and the train stops at eleven stops, including Nowy Targ, Kraków Główny and Warszawa. It is one of the few connections linking Podhale directly with the coast.
This route suits passengers travelling from the mountains to the seaside without changing trains. Because of the long journey time, some travellers prefer to split it into stages, getting off in Kraków or Warsaw. If you are planning the entire journey from Zakopane to Gdynia on one train, the PolishTrains search engine will immediately show you which sections of the route have seats available.
Tickets for the route served by EIC 3550 Kaszub start at several dozen zlotys, but the train category has a clear effect on the price – Express InterCity is almost twice as expensive as the cheapest option, TLK. From Zakopane station, most passengers buy tickets two to four weeks before departure, while another sizeable group waits until one or three days before departure. If your travel plans change, you can obtain a refund or exchange your ticket for this service online through PolishTrains before departure.
December is the peak period for ticket sales from Zakopane station, due to the ski season and Christmas trips to the mountains. You can pay for a ticket on this route through PolishTrains using BLIK, without having to create an account on the service.
