IC 23108 Smok Wawelski train – route and timetable
Smok Wawelski is an InterCity-category train running from Lublin Główny to Kraków Główny, operated by PKP Intercity. The journey takes more than four hours, and the train stops at 19 stations, including Kraśnik, Stalowa Wola Centrum, Rzeszów Główny and Dębica.
The route connects Lubelszczyzna with Podkarpacie and Małopolska, so it works both for passengers travelling the entire route and for those boarding along the way, for example in Rzeszów Główny. IC services account for 8.9 per cent of connections from Lublin, which is visible in the PolishTrains search results from the very first route search.
Tickets in the IC Intercity category are the most expensive among those available on this route, while PolRegio is clearly cheaper – the difference can be several times the price, so it is worth comparing both categories before buying. After purchasing a ticket on PolishTrains, the passenger immediately receives the ticket in the app and by SMS, so there is no need to print anything before entering the platform.
Tickets for Smok Wawelski most often end up in passengers' baskets 1–3 days before departure, and sales peak in August, when holiday traffic is at its highest. If your plans change, you can return the ticket online via PolishTrains without leaving home.
