The ticket price depends on the train category, and the differences between them can be several times greater – IC Intercity is the cheapest option, while travelling by EIP Pendolino is the most expensive, which is worth checking when comparing offers on PolishTrains. Among passengers departing from Kraków Główny, the largest proportion choose IC Intercity trains, while a smaller group opts for Pendolino or TLK.
