Germany to Poland & Poland local train tickets

Thanks to the wonderful graffiti wall, we are feeling really comfortable with our upcoming trip itinerary! I know there's a lot out there on train tickets, but I like starting with your personal advice. So I turn to you all again! We have a rental car for a bit, and will be returning it in Germany. After leaving Salzburg, the thought is to return the rental car in Munich (saves on drop off) and take a train to Prague. This is probably on a Monday. On Wednesday, we need a train from Prague to Krakow, Poland. Then a local train from Krakow to Swiebodzin, Poland...small town we're heading to for a wedding.

Question is, what can we expect to spend on those train routes? Should we buy in advance? On the DB Bahn website I see there are 29 euro tickets from Munich to Prague available 92 days before the trip. Is that the best price we can get? Or should we wait to buy tickets once actually there?

Thanks again travel team!!

Hi Meghan,

Unfortunately, I can't be much help but I need the same info as you. My husband and I will be in Germany and Austria in September for our honeymoon and we're returning our rental car to Munich and hoping to catch a night train to Prague and then another night train to Krakow. 29 Euro though sounds like a good price.

The 29 EUR fare is for a combination of train and bus. It's a good deal, but there are cheaper options that are train only. You can get them after you arrive in Germany. Read all about them in one of Lee's posts on this thread.

Since travel time is relatively short, there is no night train service between Munich and Prague.
