Firstly you won’t click this page if you weren't
interested in saving few bucks, The post was so popular among students on
facebook.com/travelpunter that I have to move it permanently for our international
readers on this blog. After all our goal at Travel Punter is to fetch
you more beers and spend less on transit services.
We would like you to read this carefully until the
end, as we provide you two options, Time-Consuming/ Time Saving both are
cheapest option with mere differences depends on how much time you got.

| At Border Crossing Point |
Why is this Route so popular:-
For Travel Prons Katowice and Krakow are the cheapest
flying option in/out of Central Europe, a clean cheat for Wizz-Ryan airlines bargain hunters. Czech Republic to Poland, such as Prague-Krakow,/Brno-Krakow,/Brno-Katowice,
or vice versa from Poland cities to Czech Republic.
Plan A- Time Consuming:- How to get there
Foremost, you have to be familiar
with Czech/Polish sister cities names, Czech Republic side of city is Cesky
Tesin where as Polish side of the city is called as Cieszyn.
From Point A
visit Czech Railway website http://www.cd.cz/eshop/, which runs domestic
services from Brno, Prague, and other domestic cities in Czech Republic.

What next? Once you are on Cesky Tesin Railway station you have to walk on foot to
cross border towards Polish side of Cieszyn, On Below link you will find directions given on the map for your easy reference, It takes approximately 20 mins for slow walker like me
the streets are pretty calm the local population are friendlier to guide you in
case required, most of them speak Polish or German.

delight.
