How to get to Croatia flight-free

How to get from London to Zagreb by rail

There are many fun ways to get to Zagreb from London but here are the most direct.

London to Zagreb

They each involve heading for Munich, which you can do via Paris or Brussels (or even Amsterdam).

How to get to Croatia by coach

Getting a direct coach from Northern Europe to Zagreb is not for the faint-hearted. It’s a gruelling 20 hours from Paris or just 19:45 from Aachen!

However, before rulling out coach travel all together, it’s worth remembering that while coaches may (usually) be slower than trains but they have some advantages…

  1. they are (usually) cheaper
  2. they go over hills, sometimes taking you through beautiful scenery (my favourite route in to Spain is by coach)
  3. there are more roads than rails so you can reach the parts that trains can’t reach
  4. they can be incredibly flexible - railway infrastructure is complex…
