It was a quick walk to the Central Station from our hotel, four blocks at the most. That took a…read morewhile as we continued to sight see the whole walk there. We already had our tickets so we just had to make our way down to the train tracks. This station was like any other big city train station with lots of food and beverage vendors and lot and lots of activity. We found our track number and started working our way down. Cleary, and easy journey. Once we got to our platform we needed to find the spot to stand at. That was a bit more of a challenge as we did not clearly understand the signs. As things go, we figured it out, the train came and we boarded, stowed our luggage and prepared for the ride to Krakow. All in all, a decent experience.

There are many shops (coffee, drugstore, convenience stores, etc) and the station is also connected with the mall. Remember to bring some coins with you when you travel in case you will need to use the restroom (3 zl). The restroom is very clean and well-serviced. The station is located right in the heart of downtown (Śródmieście) so connections to everywhere else or your hotel is easy. The tram, buses, and metro are all within a few minutes' walk (and you can purchase tickets directly onboard the buses and tram).

Dworzec PKP Warzawa Wachodnia -- it's a train station. It's not the central train station. I…read morethought would be difficult to navigate as I don't speak Polish but it was easy. I was here on 3 occasions. Here are the highlights- 1st it was very easy to get to from our hotel located in the Praga district. 2nd ticket agents are here at 5AM. Yes, an early morning game of charades was easier than kiosk in Polish to purchase train tickets. 3rd very clean and orderly. 4th the bingo boards that announced the track #s were easy to read. Yes they're in Polish but if I could read them so can you. 5th Costas Coffee -- it's kinda like the Starbucks of Europe -- they speak English and can break the large money (bills) -- not easy to do even in banks in Poland. Bonus the have "skinny" milk. 6th taxis are readily available out front with no pre-negotiations of fare it's all on the meter. The not so good - If traveling with luggage, there are no elevators to the tracks. So, if you have luggage be prepared to schlep it up a few flights of concrete stairs.

Since the Warsaw Central Train Station was under construction, my train from Krakow to Warsaw…read morearrived at this station. It is a pretty average train station, similar to what you would expect to see in a U.S. city. Compared to the other Polish stations I've seen, I'd say this one is smaller, not as clean, and with extremely limited dining options. The only places I saw were a horribly rated kebab shop, and a few pastry places downstairs that looked pretty good. It is a little bit out of the main part of the city, but just a decent walk from the old town. Overall, it got the job done, but wouldn't recommend getting here super early because there's not much to see.
