My husband and I will be in Krakow in August 2012. We want to travel from Krakow to Budapest but would like some feedback regarding plane vs train.
Hi Mary, Can you wait a few weeks for half the feedback? I'm doing it by train in mid-April, using the night train and a sleeper (not a couchette). I'd be delighted to share my experience with you, here or in pvt. Tom in SC
Least expensive is bus, several hours less than train, and probably no longer than plane since, at least as of last summer when we went the other way, there are no direct flights between them, you have to fly through and change in Warsaw (at a minimum)
Tom in South Carolina, we would be happy to wait for a posting from you regarding your train experience between Krakow and Budapest. We are interested in logistics of getting tickets, etc. as well as how the trip does or does not contribute to your knowledge of culture and people. Mary
