Malbork train station is the main railway station of the town of Malbork, Poland. Beautiful Neogothic brick building was opened in 1890. It served as a border station on the German side between Free City of Danzig and Germany in the interwar period, and it passed to Poland with the conclusion of World War II. The station building was renovated in 2010-2011. It is one of the most beautiful railway stations in Europe.
Railway station in Malbork is located in the city centre. Walk from the train station to the famous medieval castle takes 10-20 minutes.
Malbork is well connected by train with many beautiful Polish cities. There are direct trains to Gdańsk, Warsaw and Krakow. Regional trains to Gdańsk are usually overcrowded, so it is highly recommended to take a fast train (IC, TLK), but no EIC or EIP because these trains are very expensive. There are also regional trains to Kwidzyn (castle) and Grudziadz (an interesting but neglected city).
The station features four platforms. Access to the platforms is via tunnel. Platforms are covered.
