Travelling from Prague (4 days) -> Olomouc (3 days)-> Krakow (3 days)-> Levoca (1 day, 2 nights) ->Eger (2 days, Easter falls on one of these days)->Budapest (4 days) I've been able to get estimates with the czech rail, and within Hungary, but I am having trouble finding prices for the section from Krakow->Levoca (via Poprad)->Eger. I will probably be operating on a tight budget, and I would like to know a fairly accurate estimate for how much to budget (for individual sections or the whole). Thanks much! I will have an ISIC card if that can get me any discounts

I have not used this service, but I've seen the following recommended many times by posters whose opinions I've come to trust on TripAdvisor.com: http://www.polrail.com/ As I understand it, PolRail is a third-party service who helps people purchase advance tickets that involve travel on Polish trains, since many foreigners are unable to purchase advance tickets online directly from the national Polish rail website. Since they are a third-party vendor, there WILL be a mark-up on their tickets, but the general opinion I've read is that it isn't much and, in many cases, travelers were able to purchase discount tickets that would otherwise not be available by the time they reached Poland. If nothing else, you may want to contact them to get an idea of how much the ticket would be from at least Krakow to Levoca.
