CROATIA

Croatia, mainly due to the mountainous topography and the break up of the former Yugoslavia has a limited rail network much of which is single track. Journey times are not that fast, though there are plans to build fast lines from Zagreb to Rijeka and Budapest.

Zagreb has only 2-3 daily services to the other main cities of Osijek, Split and Rijeka . There are limited local services around Sibenik, Pula and Zadar on the Dalmatian coast and around Zagreb, Sisak Caprag, Sunja and Vinkovci inland. There are also some Regional services along the east-west main line and other lines towards Hungary north of Zagreb. Most services do not run at regular intervals.
Tickets can be bought at all staffed stations and on-line. Most trains do not need a reservation except for the “Intercity” type trains from Zagreb to Split.

There is currently no service over the border between Vilinja in Croatia Dobrijin in Bosnia; from Strizivojna-Vrpolje in Croatia to Doboj in Bosnia or from Tovarnik in Croatia to Sid in Serbia

INTERNATIONAL CONNECTIONS: There are daily trains from Zagreb to Budapest, Ljubljana, Villach and Vienna. Trains from Osijek to Bela Monastir connect with trains from there to Pecs in Hungary. Night trains run from Zagreb to Austria, Germany and Hungary. Through services to Sarajevo and Beograd are not running currently.

BICYCLES: Cycles can be taken on most trains for a small fee and without the need to reserve.

MOBILITY ASSISTANCE: This can be arranged on line, by phone or at most staffed stations by giving 48 hours notice in advance.
