The Munich to Zagreb Night Train

Part 1 of our journey between Germany and Italy by train.

A trip from Munich to Zagreb on the night train. We used the excellent information on the Man at Seat Sixty One website when we planned the trip. The tickets cost £58.50 GBP (€68.92) and the journey took about nine and a half hours. We bought the tickets online using bahn.de.

The train travels through Austria and Slovenia before crossing the border to Croatia. During the night the train is split up and some portions travel to Budapest so you better not go wandering about!

The engine that pulled us out of Munich was a different engine attached when we reached Zagreb. We slept obliviously through any decoupling although I do remember some heavy braking waking me up twice.

We slept in a six berth cabin. My partner and I shared with two other people. We didn't get chance to know them because the train departs at 23:35 and arrives at 8:30am which leaves little time to socialise.

In the morning a conductor woke us up with a cup of ropey coffee. I had heard reports that a croissant is also offered but we didn't see any. We were woken about 40 minutes before we reached the Slovenia/Croatia border at which point the local police/border control got on to the train to check our passports.

Zagreb is an agreeable city but there's not much there. I recommend the Museum of Broken Relationships. before leaving Munich, I recommend spending an afternoon and evening in the brilliant Augustiner Keller which is close to Munich Train Station, good beer and good food should help you sleep in that cramped cabin!

After a couple of nights in Zagreb we caught a day train to Split. Look out for the next video.

Safe travels.
