David is traveling by train from Krakow to Prague and they had several unexpected experiences that shows what it is in real life traveling or backpacking Europe.

The comfortable EuroCity Cracovia train transports you from city centre to city centre in seven hours. There is a departure daily but the most convenient and comfortable is the direct night train. Choose from 2nd class seats, couchettes, or sleeping cars with 1-, 2-, or 3-person compartments. Sleeping cars feature individual beds, wash basins, and ample luggage space. You can book a single bed in a Double or Triple compartment, but compartments are gender-specific unless booked entirely. Prices include pillows, bedding, and blankets, with complimentary morning coffee/tea and snacks from the car attendant. Deluxe Double and Single sleeping car compartments offer en-suite showers and WC. Couchettes are available in 4 or 6-bed compartments, always mixed-sex, with inclusive pillows, bedding, and blankets.
