Question on approximate 12 night itinerary for 2 adults

Posted by on

Hi:

My wife and I (mid 50s)are in beginning stages to plan a trip to Poland and are seeking advice for a trip that will be about 12 nights. (give or take). Looking at early September. We were thinking Warsaw, Krakow and perhaps Gdansk.(I realize they are opposite directions) Is that too much or totally doable? I assume trains are best way to get from Warsaw to Gdansk and then to Krakow. We prefer not to rent a car if we don't have to. (I have taken many trains in Europe). We can do day trips from major cities like Auschwitz, etc.

One option is to fly into Gdansk and out of Krakow (or vice versa), transiting in whatever city offers the best transatlantic flight from your home airport. If you can fly direct to Warsaw from home, great, but I would still suggest flying between Gdansk and Krakow to save yourself a whole day of travel between them. RyanAir has direct flights between Gdansk and Krakow, so you might have to check your bags even if you're otherwise carrying on.

Thank you G3. Appreciate the advice. Yeah we will be coming from Newark so United goes direct to Warsaw so that will probably be starting point. Flexible from there. I will look into the inter Poland flights (in lieu of train)

We are visiting Poland in July for the Rick Steve’s tour. We are flying on SAS from Newark to Copenhagen and connecting for the flight to Gdansk. Then we depart Krakow to Copenhagen and back to Newark. SAS had great rates when I booked our flights.

12 days for those three cities is totally doable. You may even want to add Poznan, Wroclaw, or Torun. You can use the jakdojade app for train travel between cities and public transport within each city.

If I'm not mistaken, the United non-stop flights from Newark to Warsaw are a codeshare that is flown on LOT (Poland's flag carrier) metal. You may check the LOT website if you have not for flights. You could fly into Gdansk and out of Krakow with a short flight to/from Warsaw for each. That way, you can keep flight days down to two and move in a straight line.

And, yes, 12 nights would be great for the 3 cities.
