According to The Sun, the Intercity high-speed service linking the historic Baltic port of Gdańsk with the cultural gem of Kraków offers an unexpectedly luxurious experience at an astoundingly modest price—just £40 for a first-class ticket.

Passengers are treated to gourmet-style hospitality, including complimentary snacks and drinks served at their seats—“smoked salmon, pesto and cream cheese brioche” – all while gliding through the Polish countryside, which unfurls in scenic bursts of forests, fields, and picturesque rural stations. 

The article also focuses on the cultural offer of Gdańsk, like the Museum of the WW2 that tells the story of civilians who survived the war and witnessed it from its very beginning, as it was there where the German battleship Schleswig-Holstein attacked the Westerplatte depot in one of the war’s first battles of September 1939. 

On arrival in Kraków, travellers can explore the city’s captivating Old Town and royal Wawel Castle before settling into stylish Mercure hotels. The Sun describes this rail journey as “redefining luxury travel”—a reminder that refinement doesn’t have to break the bank.
