Zagreb to Split Train – Croatia

Croatian Railways operate a comfortable and efficient sleeper train from Zagreb to Split every day. This will give you the chance to leave the country’s famed capital city with its neo-Gothic cathedrals and buzzy café culture late at night, ready for an early morning arrival in Split. Here, you’ll be able to enjoy the glittering Adriatic waterfront and a chance to visit its historic 1,800-year old Roman palace. You can travel overnight on this train in a sleeper or couchette carriage, or alternatively, in the second class seats. The latter is only recommended for the very young.

Pros and cons

This sleeper train is a great way to travel easily from Zagreb to Split. It is reasonably priced, clean and efficient. However, it comes with no extras at all, so it’s not the greatest travel experience in the world. That said, kids love it so it’s a great way of introducing you children to the joy of travelling by sleeper train.
