About Kraków Główny

Kraków Główny is Poland's third busiest railway station and the main terminus for the historic royal capital, set inside a graceful 19th-century neo-Gothic brick structure that was carefully preserved during a major underground expansion completed in 2014. It links Kraków with Warsaw via the Central Main Line, with Wrocław, Katowice, and the Tri-City, and with international destinations including Vienna, Prague, and Budapest. The station's location adjacent to the old Planty park ring and just minutes from the Old Town makes it one of the most conveniently situated city-centre termini in Central Europe.

PKP Intercity operates express services to Warsaw in two and a half hours, to Wrocław in approximately three hours, and to Gdańsk and Poznań. International connections link Kraków to Prague, Vienna, and Budapest.

A staffed left-luggage office and lockers are located inside the station, making it practical for day-trippers or passengers arriving before hotel check-in. The service is open daily during station hours.
