I came to Zagreb by direct night train from Zurich. The daily train leaves Zurich at 21.40 and arrives in Zagreb the next morning at 10.52 (it also stops in Ljubljana earlier in the morning). The carriages were Croatian. I was in a coupé for 4 but there are also coupés for 6. If you book the top bunks keep in mind that they are very high up!
Back home I chose the day trains leaving Zagreb at 7.50 in the morning, changing in the Austrian town of Schwarzach-St. Veit at around 14:00 and again in Feldkirch at around 18:40 before arriving in Zurich at 20:20. This was a very long journey taking 12,5 hours but I saw some very beautiful scenery (see travelogue).
For the night journey you should ask whether there are "Sparnight" tickets available. I paid for such a savingnight CHF 77 in a couchette coupé with 4 people for one way. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

 Train station by sabsi
Border checks are rather serious though so you wouldn't want to have forgotten your passport or brought too many cigarettes ;) Which we didn't so we were allowed to enter the European union.
We didn't even pay a fortune for our lovely handwritten ticket, it was around 110 kn for a single ride. Amazing when you are used to German rail prices!!! Leave a Comment Theme: Train

The left luggage facilities, Garderoba, are available 24 hours. Each piece of luggage costs 10kn per day (aprox. 1,40 euros).
Getting to town: directly in front of you is Trg kralja Tomislava. It's only a five minutes walk to get the main square, Trg J. Jelacic. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

As I came by flight, I did not use any trains here, but I understand that beside local trains you can get long distance connections from here to places such as Budapest or Vienna and it will take only few hours. Leave a Comment

The problem was that the cars were not clearly signed, at least for non Hungarian speaker :)
I hardly found a car going to Zagreb.
But I can't live without adventures... At the border, when I remained alone in my compartment, suddenly a controller came asking "Zagreb?" I said "yes". He said "Only 3 first cars go to Zagreb"... I don't know why maybe smth happened but my car, which was supposed to go to Zagreb, had to be detached from the train. I had to almost run with my lugguage to reach the 1st 3 cars. Luckily, I'm light packer and survived this "ruh" :)
Ticket price is about 23 €. Leave a Comment Theme: Train

Unfortunately, when I was in Zagreb in February of 2004, the building was under construction, so I wasn't able to appreciate its architecture. Leave a Comment

The train station in Zagreb can be a bit daunting if you don't speak the language: for some reason it's stocked with stuff that is very wary about using there - help the *** out - skills and in fact can be downright unfriendly. The departure/arival signs in the centre of the building are your surest bet, otherwise informations boots are located on the east wing of the building.
There's a couple of places to eat in the building but theh're nothing to write home about. The ATM is on the west wing. Leave a Comment Theme: TrainPhone: 060 333444

It has to be one of the nicest stations in Europe. It's tidy and clean, easy to navigate, and opens up onto a wonderful vista, one of the best in the city, with a flower filled park and the bright yellow rennaicance Art Pavillion. You then get to walk along some of the finest streets in the city to the center. The people are also friendly and relaxed, and nothing more than hawkers to spoil your enjoyment of it, and they are innocuous too.
A far cry from other European stations, often built in the worst parts of the cities, left to rot, or become filthy from lack of attention, and filled with the worst scum of the city, attracted to the low security and high density of tired, unwary travellers.
The ticket office is down a corridor to the left of the entrance, with international tickets at the booth down the far right side. The ticket office is open every day, including Sunday, until 18.40. As a guide, tickets to Belgrade are cheap, tickets to Ljubljana are expensive for the distance, and tickets to the rest of Europe pretty reasonable. From Zagreb station you can be in Budapest or Belgrade in about 6-7 hours.
Ticket to Belgrade 140 kuna, or about 20 euros. They accept euros, but the rate of exchange isn't very good. The ticket to Belgrade requires a stop, even though many international timetables claim it to be non-stop. Leave a Comment
