EIC 1350 Tatry train – route and timetable
EIC 1350 Tatry is a PKP Intercity train running from Warszawa Wschodnia to Zakopane, via Warszawa Centralna, Warszawa Zachodnia, Kraków Główny and Nowy Targ. The entire route has six stops and the journey takes over five hours. It is one of the connections linking the capital directly with Podhale without the need to change trains.
For travellers going to the mountains from Warsaw or Kraków, this is a convenient option without changing trains along the way. With such a long journey, it is worth planning time to rest or work on the way, as the EIC standard is primarily comfortable seating rather than sleeping accommodation. You can buy a ticket for this route online in the PolishTrains search engine by selecting the station and choosing a suitable class option.
Ticket prices from Warszawa Wschodnia depend on the train category, and the difference between them can be several times greater – passengers travelling in the IC Intercity category pay the least, while those choosing EIP Pendolino pay the most.
