Euro 2012 Interrailing

on the move · 03-12-2011, 02:11

Back to Euro 2012, and our finals draw saw us sent to Gdansk and Poznan in Poland. Poznan is well connected to Warsaw to the East, and from Berlin to the West. As usual, overnight transport back is available but limited. It's 2am before anything moves out of Poznan, 3 hours after our games end.

Gdansk is the most Northern outpost of the championship, and hosts our toughest game against Spain. It's also a night game, and barely leaves half an hour after the final whistle back to Warsaw. Miss it and it's a 5 hour wait until the next one.

Irish fans will base themselves in Krakow, Lodz, Warsaw, and Wroclaw as well as the host cities themselves. There's a lot of interrailing to be done.

Does Inter-Rail get suspended for the relevant countries for events like this?

Dont bother with Inter-rail tickets on the East side of the old Iron curtain, train fares are still quite cheap there. I would say dont buy anything except in Poland or from the PKP website if they offer such a service.

Might end up travelling on familiar looking stock if you go to Ukraine!
