Intersted in hearing how you traveled. Air travel seems to be very expensive unless I've been looking in the wrong spot.

The overnight train is good. Also, it saved me a night in a hotel.

We took a train as well. We were fortunate to have a Holocaust survivor and a doctor from Germany in our compartment.

Any difference between day and night trains? Is there something I would miss by taking the night train?

It's been over a year but I also took the train. Went first class day train. Not much in the way of"things to see" but a comfortable ride, no airport hassle though a long trip as I remember it.

Could anyone please let me know in which web page I can book a bus ride from Prague to Krakow? I looked at eurolines.com but it seems that they do not offer this route! I prefer the bus over the train since it is cheaper.

Try polrail.com; the schedules take some sorting out. "Very expensive" air? Last year flying was cheaper than the train, but maybe prices have *skyrocketed* this year. Check whichbudget.com or lot.com (polish airline).

Lot lists the cost as $547. The most expensive train I found was $252 and I think I may find it cheaper once I get there.

Czech and Polish trains are extremely cheap so how do you know the bus is cheaper if you can't find one? That is a very long, indirect route, I wouldn't even count on finding a bus as I doubt if there's much demand for it.

The op has probably done the trip as s/he posted back in SEP07 but for anybody that is still looking at this thread, here is some info:

www.click4sky.com does fly PRG_KRK and a r/t is ~$240. Unfortunately they do not sell one-way tickets, so a r/t is necessary but at this price it may be cheaper than the train, and just throw away the return.

The company is just a reseller, so chances are you may be flying Czech Airlines or LOT.

I found a link to a site called Orange Ways which lists bus trip Krakow-Budapest for 15 euros and the trip takes 7 1/2 hours - much faster than the train.
