Advice for train between Budapest and Krakow?
I might take the train from Budapest to Krakow in mid-June, rendezvous with my wife for a couple of days, and then we'd both take the train back to Budapest.
A few questions for anyone who's done this trip recently:
1. How comfortable is the train?
2. Any recommendations on whether to take the day train or overnight train?
3. How is the overnight train set up? Are there 2,4 or 6 people to a cabin? Or is it set up differently from that? A FTer informed me that when he took it a few years ago there were private, two-person cabins? Is that option still available?
4. Anyone know how much the train costs, whether by day or night, and the private cabin option?
5. I'll arrive in Budapest several days before going to Krakow. Is that enough advance time to buy the tickets, or should I take care of it while still in the United States? Any price difference between buying it here or there?
