    Hello,
    Do you know a reputable website for trains from Krakow to Berlin? Thank you
    The train schedule is not out yet for July 4th. I was told you need to wait May 5th since it will update 60 days before the day you want to travel. The sites that I have been using are these. The second one actually has trains you can book on that date but being from Canada I have had no luck with it. Let me know if you find anything out that I have not listed as I still need to book Prague --> Krakow and Krakow --> Berlin.

    Likewise, I've been regularly checking. I'll message you nearer the time and see what your plans are, would be good to speak with a few PJ fans on the long journey.

    The 10:24 - 17:00 train? Me and my friends will probably be on that one. It sucks you lose a day for travel, but what can you do.

    There is an 8:17 - 14:25 train available as well as a lot of bus options. 8:17 may be too early for some people though you do gain almost 3 hours in Krakow.

    Interested in everyone's travel plans. I arrive late morning in Prague on the day of the gig. Wondering if I should do a whistle stop tour that day to try and get a few hours in Krakow the following day. My original plan was to head straight to GA line in prague after checking in and eating on 1st, sightseeing in Prague Monday morning, train to Krakow Monday pm, spend all day in line in Krakow on the Tues. But that leaves me no time at all to check out Krakow as I'm on the fan bus to Berlin straight after the Krakow gig. Decisions, decisions!

    You guys think the 8:17am train is too early for you? Gives us 3 more hours in Krakow then the other train. I am not a drinker and I understand the need to sleep in for some but we can rest on the 6 hr train ride too!

    I can definitely do it, just thought the 10am train would give me more time to sleep and get ready in the morning, but otherwise no objections to the 8am train.

    Unfortunately i can't wake up that early. I NEED my sleep as it takes me awhile to get my shit together when i do wake up, so i need those hours>LOL

    But, i understand those who want to arrive in Krakow to  have a few more hours to see the city. Me, i'll probably need a power-nap after the train ride as my old ass will need it>LOL>unless by some chance i can sleep on the train?

    Right now the options for me are as follows. Plans and times may change when the 60 days before travel update comes.

    Prague to Krakow

    02:25 - 10:15 Bus 8hrs
    08:17 - 14:25 Train 6+hrs
    10:24 - 17:00 Train 6hrs 30mins 

    Krakow to Berlin (Waiting on Flixbus to update schedule to see what the bus options will be. Looks like a long travel though) 

    01:43 - 12:16 Train 10hrs 30mins
    03:08 - 13:16 Train 10hrs
    06:00 - 09:00 Lufthansa flight 8hrs

    Do you have a link for the 8:17 train? I can't find it listed on the Czech, Polish or German train websties. The 10:24 train is the best option because it's direct with no transfers (and only ~6.5 hours, not 8.5). All earlier and later trains have transfers and take much longer than that one.

    Ah ok I see. That one leaves from a different train station than the main station (looks like it's actually close to the O2 arena). You also have a 13 minute transfer to a bus in Bohumin (hopefully the train isn't late).

    8:10 leaves from the main station and you are right there is a risk on the connection. Also did not notice it was a bus at the other location. Are busses that inferior to trains when traveling? I take it trains are more comfortable? Direct would be ideal but I would like to maximize my time in the other cities. Decision decisions.
