By Train from Praha / Prague / Prag (Czech Republic) to Kraków / Krakow / Cracow (Poland) - Option 2: travel by day

Final Destination: Krakow-Glowny

It is not a scenic or particularly interesting journey, so having something to watch or read with you, is recommended.

So you won't miss out on particularly memorable travel experience, if you opt to travel by the overnight train.

Taking the EC train:

This direct daytime EC train is usually scheduled to depart from Praha/Prague daily at 10:24 and arrive in Krakow at 17:28 - hence it has a journey time of 7hr 4mins

This train had previously only operated in the summer months, but it now departs year round.

On the CD website it is named the 'Caracovia'.

On this 10:24 departure as far as Bohumin, the train heading to Krakow, will be joined to another train heading to Warszawa.
So if you only see a train heading to Warszawa on the departure screens at that time, the info will also apply to the train heading to Krakow.

If this departure time doesn't suit, it's usually possible to depart Praha daily at 14:24 (on a train heading to Warszawa) - and then make a 40 min connection at Katowice into a train heading on to Krakow.

Taking the Leo Express train:

This train only departs on Fridays and Sundays at 16:09 and is due into Krakow at 23:32.
