Hi,
Thanks for your prompt reply. Yes I mean Wroclaw.

I need to know how best to travel from Wroclaw to Bratislava. I went to the Krakow station just now and they advise the overnight 2nd class  train from Wroclaw to Bratislava is at about PLN 300 + each person.

Please advise the best and cheapest way to travel or should i buy the train ticket from Wroclaw to Bratislava only when I arrive Wroclaw? Is there a cheap ticket for 1st class sleeper or 2nd class train or alternative?  how much and how long as the personnel in the train station do not speak much English.

Looking forward to your reply.

Regards,

Hi,

Thanks to your advice, we are now in Krakow and we enjoyed the overnight train ride with sleeper in a compartment for 2.

Now, we are planning to go the Kraclaw for 2 nights middle of the week. Please advise the fastest and best type of train to buy? Also how long is the train ride?  Is there a spar ticket for such journey?

After that, we will go from Kraclaw to bratislava. How long is the train ride and is there a spar ticket and how much? Can I buy it in Krakow?

Lastly, we need to make our way from Bratislava to Vienna airport to catch our flight back home. What is the best way to go, how much and how long?

We look forward to hearing from you.

Regards.

Hi TUT,

Thanks for email.

Sorry, I do not understand what you mean "in case you decide to 'fight back' MAV online ticket purchase system, you can as well buy Budapest-Krakow discounted tickets there" in your reply.

My dates are quite fixed but I am not able to buy now as I am not able to do so via the MAV online ticket purchase system. If possible, is it possible to teach me how to buy the ticket now so that I can get discounted ticket earlier? Or can I buy the discounted rate via email as I did for the vienna -budapest train ticket?

It is cheaper to buy one-way or return ticket for this with sleeper for 2 pax? How much is it?

We are also toying with the idea of going to Lviv, Ukrania from Krakow. What is the best way to go there and how much and how long is it? Any problem with the border clearance. I heard a lot of them talking about smuggling and chaotic situation at the border.

Thanks and regards.

Hi,

Thanks for your  assistance.

I gotten my ticket from vienna to budapest in keleti- pu. Horray, one down! Soirry I did not dig back into the website as I finally gotten the ticket via email.

Ok, will get my ticket for budapest/zagreb return when I arrive in Budapest from Vienna.

There is a bit of change to my itinerary. After I return from Zagreb to Budapest, I would like to take an overnight train from Budapest to Krakow. Can you advise if I can get a cheap ticket when I arrive Budapest for a sleeper for 2 pax.

After spending in Krakow, we would take a train down from Krakow to Zakopane, then to propad and then to Kosice before coming to Bratislava. Is it a good option?

Regards.

Hi,

I need to take the train from Vienna to Budapest. As I want to go to Nyugati train station finally, should I stop at Deli or Keleti train station?

Secondly, I realised that for the OEBB, for the same route, those with 1 change has a shorter journey duration compared to those with 0 change. Why is that so? Do I actually have to vacate the train with those with 1 change and wait for another train on the way?

Regards,

THanks for your reply. What is ZSSK-PKP?

During purchasing of ticket in EBB website, they ask if I want saloon coach or compartment coach? WHich is more comfortable and better option for 2 pax?

Should I tick with reservation or without reservation? Is the cost inclusive?

Under 'free seat' column, it is written as 3 or 4. What does it mean?

By the way, is the coach comfortable for the journey? How far down can the seat be adjusted downwards to sleep comfortably?  Or is it better to opt for 1st class? what is the difference?

Do they have couchette for 2 pax on offer? How to find it?

Lastly, when there is change for the journey, do we actually have to change train middle of the night?

Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

Now, slight modification to plan.

Is it better and cheaper to go From Vienna to Krakow  and then from Krakow come down to Budapest or is it better from Budapest to Krakow? I checked the train from ebb from Vienna to Krakow and it is at 39 euro. is it just coach? Very confused on the way the schedule are shown.

thanks.

Thanks tUt for your prompt reply. Will opt for option 1. Now, we will be flying in Vienna. Thus,  need to travel from Vienna to Zagreb. Also to travel from Krakow to Vienna to catch the flight home. Please advise what is the best mode and route and cost?

So it is advisable to take direct train from Zagreb to Budapest at 30euro and I can buy the ticket from Zagreb train station? Can I confirm that the prices quoted are all based on 2nd class ticket? Are they okay?

Thanks.
