Hello Again.
We are starting to concentrate more on this trip in September now.

Regarding Poland: Just a thought. Would you suggest that to save time we forget Warsaw and just go to Krakow?

We would be leaving by train from Prague where we have booked 5 nights. The first day there we will be wiped from our flight so it only leaves us 4 full days in Prague.

Warsaw is the opposite direction to where we are heading, which is south.

Any imput is appreciated from those who have been to both.

I found Warsaw a bit less interesting than the other places I've visited that you are considering. And as you say, it is a bit out of the way.

Krakow is absolutely delightful, as is Prague.

I agree to skip Warsaw in favor of Krakow which is one of my favorite cities. I think 4 days there would be a good amount of time as there is lots to see. Warsaw is not a pretty city and is quite spread out and I did not find the sights interesting, except the Uprising Museum.

It's a long train ride from Prague to Krakow, 7 to 8 hours. If you are going directly you might consider flying.

I hope you're not bringing large luggage as the Czech trains I've taken have been compartment trains so the only place for your bags is an overhead rack. Nothing larger than a 24" would fit.

Thanks everyone. That was the answer I was hoping for. Adrienne I remember the luggage issue when we took trains in Russia. We are able to travel with two 24 inch bags now which is so much better. I will look into flying. I think that Ryan Air may have a flight.
