Berlin - Warsaw

The Berlin-Warsaw Express In brief

The Berlin-Warsaw Express is operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB), the German national railway network. It unites the revitalized city of Berlin, Germany with the city of Warsaw, in Poland.

There are 3 daily departures and returns, and the journey takes 6 hours. Tickets can be booked up to 60 days in advance and reservation is mandatory (and included in the cost of the ticket).

Berlin offers the dynamism and vitality of one of Europe’s great capitals. Its historical past, reunification in 1990 and role at the heart of Europe today have combined to create a creative, bustling metropolis. Largely rebuilt since the end of the Second World War, Warsaw boasts a historic old town that is on UNESCO’s World Heritage List.
