For the traveller to Poland, rail travel is one of the best ways to get around the country. There is a domestic airline service, and the road system is better than 10 years ago, but the traffic and parking problems that many cities now experience, travel by travel by rail is still the most comfortable and convenient.

The best way to travel within Poland is undoubtedly by train, specifically using the PKP Intercity network. Poland has seen massive infrastructure investments over the last decade, resulting in a modern, efficient, and very affordable rail system. The high-speed "Pendolino" (EIP) trains connect major cities like Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, and Wroclaw in just a few hours with high levels of comfort and on-board dining. For those on a tighter budget, the TLK or IC trains offer extensive coverage at a fraction of the cost. While domestic flights exist between cities like Warsaw and Szczecin, the time spent at airport security often makes the train faster and more environmentally friendly. For shorter distances or to reach rural areas like the Tatra Mountains or the Masurian Lake District, Poland has a robust network of private buses (like FlixBus) and local "busik" vans. Car rentals are also an option, as Poland's highway system (Autostrady) has improved significantly, though city parking in Krakow or Warsaw can be difficult and expensive.
