Warsaw & Kraków by Train: 7 Days in Poland

This Yes Getaways package includes round-trip flights, airport transfers in Warsaw and Kraków, the train ticket from Warsaw to Kraków and 6 nights of accommodation: 3 nights in Warsaw and 3 nights in Kraków. Breakfast depends on the hotel rate you select. Not included: transfers between the hotels and the train stations, lunch and dinner, tours and city taxes. The Yes Getaways team can add the station transfers to your booking.

Yes, round-trip flights are included: you fly into Warsaw and home from Kraków. The price depends on your departure airport: the booking calendar shows the price from each airport this package flies from, and the Yes Getaways team can quote other cities. Seat selection and cabin upgrades are paid add-ons, subject to availability. Your flight times and connections are shown before you pay.

Not always. It depends on the airline and the fare. The baggage allowance is shown in the booking flow before you pay and again on your confirmation voucher. If your fare does not include a checked bag, add one when you book: it costs much less than adding it later or paying at the airport.

Yes. Extra nights can be added before or after your trip, at the same hotel when it is available. The Yes Getaways team can also add another Polish city by train, such as Gdańsk or Wrocław, or build the combination you have in mind.

Breakfast depends on the hotel rate you select when you book. If breakfast matters to you, choose a rate that includes it or ask the Yes Getaways team before booking.

You stay in 3 to 5-star hotels in central Warsaw and in or near the Old Town of Kraków, chosen by level when you book; the exact hotels are confirmed in the next step, and the package price depends on the hotels you select. Twin beds, triple rooms and connecting rooms can be requested, subject to availability: tell the Yes Getaways team when you book.

Yes. Allianz travel insurance can be added during booking. The Yes Getaways team recommends insurance that covers trip cancellation.

The land portion of your package is refundable up to 14 days before your travel date and non-refundable after that. Airfare is non-refundable once tickets are issued. A $75 per person cancellation fee applies to refunds. Date changes follow the Yes Getaways Flexibility Policy. The Yes Getaways team recommends travel insurance that covers trip cancellation.

Yes. The package price is based on two travelers sharing a room, so a single supplement applies when you travel alone. To see the solo price, change the number of travelers from 2 to 1 in the booking calendar before you choose your dates.

Call the Yes Getaways team at (857) 214-2664, every day from 4:00 AM to 8:00 PM Eastern Time, or write to bookings@yesgetaways.com. If your travel advisor is busy, any member of the team can open your quote and help you. During your trip, call the same number during these hours; outside them, use the emergency number in your travel documents. In Poland, 112 is the number for any emergency.

City taxes are not included in the package price. Where a city charges one, it is paid at the hotel, per person and per night, and the amount depends on the city and the hotel. Yes Getaways does not collect them.

May to September is the warmest time, with days around 64 to 77 °F (18 to 25 °C) and long evenings at outdoor cafés. Spring and early fall are quieter. Winter is cold, often around 28 to 37 °F (-2 to 3 °C), but December brings Christmas markets to both cities.

Poland is a safe country, and Warsaw and Kraków are used to international visitors. US and Canadian citizens do not need a visa for stays of up to 90 days in the Schengen Area; your passport must be valid for at least three months after your return date. ETIAS, the European travel authorization, will be required once it launches; the Yes Getaways team will tell you if it applies to your travel dates.

Starting November 3, 2026, all passengers flying to the United States, or connecting through U.S. territory, must hand in a signed declaration at check-in. This applies to U.S. citizens too. It confirms you have not been in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in the 21 days before your flight. Download the form from the CDC website, fill it in, sign it and date it with your travel date. Passengers without a completed form may be denied boarding, so we recommend arriving at the airport with extra time. Requirements can change, so please check the CDC page before you travel.

Your train ticket from Warsaw to Kraków is included. The journey takes about 2 hours 30 minutes, on day 4 of the trip, and the train and departure time are on your booking. Kraków Główny, the city's main station, is about a 10-minute walk from the Main Square. Transfers between your hotels and the train stations are not included; the Yes Getaways team can add them to your booking. Your airport transfers on arrival in Warsaw and on departure from Kraków are included.

Poland uses the złoty (PLN), not the euro. Cards are accepted almost everywhere; carry some cash for small cafés and markets.

No, this is a self-guided trip by train: your flights, hotels and the train ticket are booked, and you plan each day with the suggestions in the itinerary. The Yes Getaways team can add guided visits at an additional cost, such as a Chopin concert or a Vistula River cruise in Warsaw, and the Wieliczka Salt Mine or a day trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau from Kraków.
