Final Destination: Praha hl.n
Polish Railways (PKP) provides this train and it conveys:
- Compartment Seats
- Couchettes; 4 berths AND 6 berths
- Standard and deluxe sleeping cars with 3 bed, 2 bed and 1 cabins
Departing from Warszawa/Warsaw:
This train commences its journey at Warszawa Wschodnia station, which is on the eastern side of the city centre.
If you will be commencing a journey in the vicinity of the old town, you can take tram line/route 13 from the 'Stare Miasto' stop direct to Wschodnia station.
It then calls at Warszawa Centralna, the main station in the city, which is why we've used it for the orange button that can be clicked above.
After departing from Warszawa Centralna it will then call at Warszawa Zachodnia.
So check the location of the starting point of your journey, to see which of these three stations will suit you best.
The train is usually scheduled to depart Warszawa Centralna station at 19:30 and arrive in Praha hl.n at 07:31.
For the part of the journey between Warsaw and The Czech Republic, the coaches/sleeping cars heading for Praha are joined to other parts of the train which will be heading to Budapest and Wien.
If you can see a train on the departure indicators in Warsaw heading to Budapest or Wien, then this information will also be referring to this train.
The alternative daytime trains:
A contributory factor to the journey by the overnight train from Warsaw to Prague, being much longer than the daytime trains, is that this overnight train spends more than two hours in Bohumin station.
If your rail pass itinerary includes Prague/Praha and Warsaw/Warszawa, the overnight train is a comparatively good option.
It's an interesting, but not particularly beautiful journey during the day.
