  Polish text for buying a ticket
by Landad
 
 

Unfortunately people working at the railway stations do NOT speak any other language than Polish (there are little exceptions but not many).

Unique Suggestions: Before you go to buy a ticket, ask somebody who knows Polish to write all the ticket details for you on a sheet of paper. With this paper go to the ticket office. The price is shown on the cash screen. So don't worry.

If you need to buy a ticket for an international trip at the station in Gdansk Glowny, go to the main hall of the station and go up-stairs on the 1st floor to KASA MIEDZYNARODOWA (INTERNATIONAL TICKET OFFICE). As far as I remember there is no sign in English :-(.

Fun Alternatives: You can always print the text I have attached to this tip and use it, when buying a ticket.

Believe me, I have seen many times desperated tourist who couldn't find the way at the station because of the language barrier...
