When travelling by train between Poland and Germany, you should check the operator, stations and fares. An option available on one date does not guarantee the same train or timetable on another.
Before you buy
Compare offers from PKP Intercity or DB, and check whether there are direct services or connections. Read the train details and check if seat reservations are available. If you’re travelling on from Berlin, check whether the next leg of your journey is included in your ticket; don’t just assume it is.
On the day of travel
