There is maybe a stop between Krakow and Prague in Auschwitz, however this depends on the connections, as if we have to go back to Krakow to get the train to prague then it will cut Auschwitz out of the picture.
We are thinking of going for the 10 days travel in 22 days youth pass at £220. To give us freedom of travel if any cities are to be cut out or the stay extended.
Does this seem a good route#? We know its fast paced, however we arn't ones for staying around in cafes and such so will be doing a fast tour
Any opinions are greatly appreciated!
If you think about going to Auschwitz from Krakow by train, you must be prepared for a long journey, Railway in Poland is in very poor condition, and the trains are very late. I have the same problem with connections than you. In the end I decided to used transfer services, Auschwitz is very popular Museum in the southern Poland, there are a lot of companies who can take you there. I visited Auschwitz with http://krakowdirect.com and it was good decision but you can also used a public transport, like local bus.
