Hey ! I plan to travel with Interrail in november and I would like to end my trip with Tallin (I would come from Stockholm) and Krakow before my return to Paris. I am totally flex about Krakow, I can change for Warsaw or even Vilnius if I can come back to Paris after. But I don’t find any connexions between those cities.

I know that there was no train but I read there is now one (here : https://www.lefigaro.fr/voyages/relier-la-france-aux-pays-baltes-en-train-c-est-desormais-possible-grace-a-cette-nouvelle-ligne-20231221) so my question is : is there really a train Tallinn-Krakow (or Tallinn-Warsaw or Tallin-Vilnius) ? Or can’t I find it because of the weather ? If it is the case, do you think it would be repared before my trip ?

Thank you in advance,

 

Marie

There's a train Krakow-Warsaw-Vilnius:

Also Vilnius to Riga:

Riga to Tallinn is also possible, but with a long wait in Valga:

There are also many buses; Lux Express has a pass discount (no travel day needed).

Always check timetables with the operators and never in the rail planner app.

The trains are generally cheap so if you have a flexipass, it's often not worth using a travel day in this region.


I did the reverse in July and as posted above if you haven’t reserved the train beforehand you’ll be very lucky to get on as basically there is one train a day on each of the routes.

everyone uses buses lux, flix and euroconnect. Lux do a lounge seat which is a reclining first class seat in its own compartment I used it and thought the extra few euros well worth it.

in Riga and Vilnius the bus station and train station are very close together but in tallin the bus station and train station (baltijam) are about 5km apart one on each side of the old town, if your getting the ferry to Helsinki the port is about 2km north of the old town equidistant to both train and bus stations.
