I hate when things get to complicated. im going from Gorlitz to Wroclaw and i wonder whats best for me; a German train from Gorlitz to Wroclaw or should i use the train in the Poland sister city to go to Wroclaw ? I know those two cities are very close but is the polish city train far from the Gorlitz downtown ? is it walkable ? is there a direct bus from Gorlitz that drives you to the Polish sister city train station ? Should i call a cab to do that ? is that an expensive ride ? Thank you Pierre
Gorlitz ti Wroclaw is about 150K apart. Rented a car in Berlin and drove to SE Poland about 10 years ago. Not sure I saw a train but did see buses. Not much help - sorry.

No panic. According to the rail timetable www.bahn.de, there are 3 direct trains each day between Görlitz and Wroclaw-Glowny: at 8:45, 14:45 amd 18:45. The train takes just under 2h15min.

There are also only 3 direct trains from Zgorzelec to Wroclaw. The same trains which departs minutes before in Görlitz. Till WWII what is now Zgorzelec were just the eastern suburbs of Görlitz. Thus Zgorzelec station is just what was built as a typical suburb station. de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php... Distance between both stations is approx. 2 km.

Thank you for you time friends. If if ask if it was better to go to the Polish city train that goes to Wroclaw its because i heard its cheaper. Right now im searching at bahn.de and i just cant find a direct train from hpf to Gorlitz. I believe there isnt any, i probably have to change train in Cottbus...right ? thank you again. Pierre

Leaving from the Polish side could be a little cheaper. Still, the fares in Poland are cheap, so it is not saving you much money. Not worth the trouble. As for your new search: I presume that you want to travel from Hof to Görlitz. I don't like the German rail site too much, so I was consulting the Swiss rail page www.sbb.ch . This site shows that you wouldhave to change in Dresden (not Cottbus). Görlitz is a mayor station, so you cannot expect direct trains to every corner in Germany ;-D.

Like the others said, there are three direct trains daily from Görlitz to Wroclaw. All these trains start in Dresden. They are a bit more expensive (but not *that* much) than the polish trains that start in Zgorzelec, but they are faster, cleaner, more comfortable. I have done that train ride from Dresden via Görlitz to Wroclaw and back. See my Wroclaw page. From Görlitz to Wroclaw the single fare is 18.40 Euro. The cab from Görlitz to Zgorzelec train station alone would cost half of that.
