    Book Your Train Travel From Slovakia to Croatia

    Buy your ticket in the train station in Slovakia. It is helpful to bring a guidebook with important traveling phrases when you plan on purchasing tickets in smaller towns.

  2. Step 2

    Book a ticket with your travel agent prior to traveling. Mention your age for applicable discounts like Youth or Senior prices.

  3. Step 3

    Get reservations for a Poslovni train route in Croatia. This executive first class train is fast, efficient and roomy.

  4. Step 4

    Book an InterRail Pass to travel to different zones in Europe. You'll need Zone D to travel through Slovakia and Croatia. The InterRail Pass allows you unlimited travel for up to one month (see website below).

  5. Ride the Train From Slovakia to Croatia

  6. Step 1

    Enjoy the ride through Slovakia on your way to Croatia. Pass through the Alps for mountain views and fresh air. Don't expect a quick journey; it's a trip to savor.

  7. Step 2

    Travel from Bratislava to Zagreb in about eight hours. Book a first class seat for comfort on your journey.

    Go from the northwest of Slovenia on your way to Croatia. You can enjoy the Dinaric Alps, where you'll see massive limestone rock faces and stunning streams.

  9. Step 4

    Travel along the Croatian Coast to Ploce. You'll have outstanding ocean views.
