Apologies if this has already been asked - I am new to the forums and learning my way around! I am getting the Eurail Pass for 4 countries (Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Czech Republic) with 8 travel days in 2 months. I am planning on taking the overnight train from Prague to Krakow, Poland (which is apparently not offered on the Pass). From what I understand, I can use my pass for the segment of travel from Prague to the Polish border, and then I have to pay for the rest of the trip to Krakow. Is this correct? And how do I go about paying for that section beforehand, especially with the couchette/sleeper reservation fee? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Becky, I think you'd have better luck with responses if you reposted this question under "Transportation"; there are several people who are a trove of train information. I've taken the night train from Prague to Krakow, but have no knowledge or experience with passes. Good luck!

Ahh, thanks so much Penny. As I said, newbie here. I should have looked more thoroughly into the forum topics. Thanks!

Czech Airlines will fly you from Prague to Krakow non-stop in 1hr05min. I see a fare in mid-August for $181. If this is an attractive option, book as early as you can as the fares are less expensive the earlier you book.
