This must be checked for the specific connection you want. Regular bicycles are not automatically accepted on night trains. If no bicycle space is offered during booking, you should not assume that bicycle transport is possible.

Yes, especially in the couchette or sleeping car. Families travel more comfortably if they can book an entire compartment. For children, the night train is often more pleasant than a long daytime journey, especially if the family stays together in the compartment.

What is the best category on the PKP Intercity night train?

For long overnight journeys, the sleeping car is the best choice. It offers made-up beds, a washbasin, WARS assistance, wake-up service and, depending on the connection, breakfast.
