My family is considering a trip with the Eurail SelectPass and want to visit Prague-Krakow-Vienna-Budapest. I see that Poland is not included on the Eurail Pass. Is it reasonable to assume that we could take a night train from Prague to Krakow, allowing the Eurail Pass to get us to the Czech border and then pay extra to get us from the Czech border to Krakow (then pay extra to get us from Krakow to the border on the way to Vienna)? Could we pay for the extra portion that the Eurail Pass does not cover at the train stations in Prague and Krakow just prior to boarding the train? If this can be done, I suspect it would be much cheaper than purchasing a Eurail One Country Pass for Poland.

Thanks for anyone's assistance!

Its FAR easier as you think-such additional tix can be bought at ANY ticketoffice ANywhere in EUR that handles INTernational ticketing and has this sector in their stock/computer.
Its best to do that at same time when you make your REServation for seat/sleeper for the train ex Prahy.
Its even more cheap to take a domestic CZ train to Cesky tesin-walk over border to PL part of town and take bus (or if you insist a much slower train) To krakow-this runs via Oswiecim, which you know as Auschwitz-main destination for most 1st time tourists. For INT tickets much higher charges apply for the same amount of Kms.
