ReviewsReviews for the rail journey from Vienna to Zagreb

The customer opinion was acquired via Cimenio. Cimenio incentivises its users for giving an honest opinion and proving the booking with a photo of the travel ticket.

Advantages

Comfortable seats

Clean train

Free wifi

Disadvantages

Not on time

It was very easy to book the tickets to Zagreb online. The staff were very nice as always and the train was very hygienic inside. The free wifi worked very well as well as the free 230V sockets. I booked seat 17 in carriage 2. As I travelled straight to Zagreb without changing trains, I "only" travelled for around 9.5 hours. The train was delayed by 12 minutes, but I didn't mind. As always, the price-performance ratio is very good.

Advantages

Cleanliness

Disadvantages

Partly old trains

I travelled from Vienna to Zagreb by train on 15/08/2024. The journey started at 12:25 at Vienna Meidling station and ended at 20:47 in Zagreb. So the journey took 8 hours and 22 minutes. I had to change trains once in Villach. Both trains were clean, but I got on a rather old train in Wifi in Wifi, which was a pity for me. However, the first train to Villach was tip top. I would recommend anyone who wants to travel to Zagreb to familiarise themselves with the train set beforehand. Nevertheless, it was a nice journey.

Advantages

Environmentally friendly

Favourable

Disadvantages

Takes a very long time

Change often

Too many people on the train

My review of the train journey from Vienna to Zagreb: The journey was okay overall, but there are a few points that could be improved. The journey simply took too long, which made the experience a bit tiring. In addition, the train was overcrowded, which significantly affected comfort. On a positive note, however, the relatively cheap price and the eco-friendliness of the journey should be emphasised. I therefore give it 3 stars.

Advantages

No high capacity utilisation and pleasant atmosphere on the train

Friendly staff

Comfortable seats with sufficient equipment

No changeover necessary

Cleanliness and hygiene

Disadvantages

Delay of 50 minutes due to border control

The train from Vienna to Zagreb was not so busy, so it was not so noisy in the passenger compartment. Unfortunately, checks were carried out at the Croatian border, so the train arrived in Zagreb with a delay of 50 minutes. I didn't have to change trains until Zagreb. Otherwise, the train was clean and the toilets looked hygienic. The staff also spoke German and were very friendly at the ticket inspection. The seats were comfortable and there were plenty of power sockets and wifi.
