All other train travel questions / Night Trains from Budapest and Krakow
« on: May 01, 2011, 09:19:40 am »
Hi, I'm doing some early research for a trip in Aug/Sept 2012 (by 2 couples aged 50's) and was planning on building 2 night train trips into our itinerary - one from Budapest to Krakow and the other from Krakow to Prague. I've since read a number of online posts which have been less than flattering about overnight trains in many parts of Europe, so I'm interested to know whether anyone has had experience of these 2 specific routes. I would have opted for 1st class double sleepers, but now I'm wondering whether we should 1) just 'bite the bullet' and go ahead, 2) take one night train, and travel by day with an overnight stay en route for the other leg, or 3) travel both legs by day.
Any advice would be appreciated as would any insights as to the best way to purchase tickets. Many thanks in anticipation.
