Want to travel via train in Poland and Lower Silesia for less? Check out our guide to all the various offers and promotions available.
The offers vary depending on what trains you use, as you will see in the promotions listed below:
Koleje Dolnośląskie
First on our list is Koleje Dolnośląskie, the train operator for the Lower Silesia region.
39zl weekend offer
Koleje Dolnośląskie operate most of the internal rail routes in our region and they offer a handy weekend ticket that allows unlimited travel between Friday at 6pm to Monday morning at 6am. On long weekends the ticket’s validity also extends further. Named Podróżuj z KD, you can buy this promotional ticket (and all of the others in this article) at the relevant counter at the train station. You can also use the Koleo app (described later) to buy your ticket by choosing the ‘bilet okresowy’ option at the bottom of the screen.
Group offers
Another promotion run by Koleje Dolnośląskie is called Razem z KD. This deal gives the 2nd, 3rd and 4th passengers on a ticket a 30% discount on the price of the journey. If you use the Koleo app, the promotion is automatically applied when you add additional passengers in the selection menu.

3 day offer
PolRegio’s 3 day ticket, called REGIOkarnet, allows you to travel on PolRegio trains an unlimited amount of times over 3 calendar days. The ticket is a personal one, so you’ll need to carry ID and write your PESEL or passport number on the ticket (there is a designated place for it). It costs 75zł.
