Today I had a rude surprise as my travel agent was trying to buy my train tickets from Berlin to Wroclaw Poland for January 2022.
US citizens must enter Poland by air unless they meet one of the exemptions. I'm posting what my travel agent sent me and I verified on the US Embassy site for Poland. We are now flying to Poland from Berlin and then continuing our trip by train within the country. Wroclaw, Gdansk and Warsaw are the last stops of our 7 week trip from Hungary to Prague, Dresden, Berlin and then Poland. All other arrangements have been paid for so changing to start in Poland is not an option.
