Kraków, one of the largest cities in Małopolska and the capital of the Małopolskie Voivodeship, offers its residents and travellers convenient transport connections to other parts of the country. This is all thanks to Kraków Główny railway station, from which many long-distance and regional trains depart. The Kraków–Rzeszów train route is one of the most popular – information on how it runs, where the trains stop and how much a ticket costs can be found below.
The connection on the Kraków–Rzeszów PKP route runs daily. Every day the first train from the capital of Małopolska departs just after 05:30 in the morning, and the last one leaves before 20:30 in the evening.
The Kraków–Rzeszów train is part of PKP Intercity's offer. Approximately 17 connections run every day (slightly more at weekends). Travelling on this route is extremely comfortable – using the EIP Pendolino, you can reach Rzeszów in around 1 hour and 20 minutes, and most IC journeys take approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes on average.
Ticket prices for trains from Kraków to Rzeszów start from PLN 18 for journeys in class 2 (IC). Such competitive rates are available when purchasing in advance, but do not apply to all services. The price for a given connection depends on the current occupancy of the train and its type.
Without discounts, a journey in class 2 costs approximately PLN 55 (IC) or approximately PLN 105 (EIP). Regardless of the train type, statutory reductions apply to journeys, for example [for pupils ](##BRAK## [students](##BRAK## as well as a discount for children under 4 years of age.

The standard Kraków–Rzeszów route is covered quickly by the train with a minimal number of intermediate stops. It stops only 4 times before Rzeszów Główny and travels in total through 2 voivodeships – Małopolskie and Podkarpackie.
The connection from Kraków to Rzeszów is usually part of a longer route on which the train operates. In this case, Kraków is only an intermediate railway station, and the trains depart from places such as Wrocław Główny or Świnoujście. Meanwhile, Rzeszów Główny is not the final station, and trains continue to Przemyśl Główny where they only then end their journey. This is because PKP InterCity schedules its timetable in such a way that passengers can conveniently reach different parts of the country without the need for frequent changes.
The full timetable PKP Kraków–Rzeszów (and more) can be checked on the PolishTrains website.
