Malczewski train – routes and services
Malczewski is the name used by IC trains running between Kraków Główny and Kołobrzeg. The route connects southern Poland with the coast, and the timetable includes services in both directions – from Kraków to Kołobrzeg and back. Trains under this name run daily, so the journey can be planned for any day of the week.
For passengers travelling from Małopolska to the seaside, this is one of the few direct connections without a change, which is particularly important when travelling with larger luggage or children. Before choosing a specific date, it is worth checking the exact departure timetable, as it can be updated after changes to the IC network – you will find the current version in the PolishTrains search engine.
The ticket price for an IC train depends primarily on the date of purchase and the selected travel zone, rather than on the name of the train itself. The earlier you plan your journey, the greater the chance of using a cheaper allocation of seats, so it is worth buying a ticket in advance before a long weekend or the holiday season. On the day of departure, in the event of a change or altered plans, a ticket bought and returned through PolishTrains can be settled online without visiting a ticket office.
The IC category differs from TLK or Pendolino trains primarily in the standard of the carriages and the range of seats available for reservation, which is worth considering on a longer route such as Kraków – Kołobrzeg. You can buy a ticket for Malczewski, check available seats and choose a carriage on PolishTrains, without creating a user account.
