The extension of České dráhy service between Prague and Krakow has been selected as one of the 'six of the best' new train journeys in Europe for 2021.

The line will take passengers from Prague all the way to Przemyśl and starts this Sunday. COVID travel restrictions mean that many won’t be willing or able to use the new service just yet.

It will take 10 hours 50 mins to travel and runs daily.

Jiří Ješeta, Member of the Board and Deputy General Director of České dráhy for Trade said:

"Due to the fact that some restrictions against the spread of coronavirus still apply, some connections will be restricted on selected domestic and international routes in the second half of December. As in previous weeks, we will continuously refine the details of the resumption of operations according to the development of the situation."

The Guardian newspaper has selected the new service as part of its list of “Six of the best new train journeys in Europe for 2021.”
