Hi ,
I am trying to book train tickets online from Vienna to Zagreb. But I am unable to find any site that allows me to make an online booking. I have read in a lot of forums about how scenic the route is,and also tried the sites mentioned. But no success so far. Can anyone help me with this. My travel dates are early July around 3rd or 4th from Vienna to Zagreb.

Hello,
ÖBB (rail.shop/oebb) offers me a Sparschiene for 39 € for the morning connection.
However, this is no e-ticket. You have to collect the ticket at Vienna at the ticket machine. Probably because the Croatian conductors have no mobile device to verify the QR code, so they rely on the paper.
However, it makes sense to buy it now to get a cheaper price.
Kind regards,

Hi Bernie,
Thanks for the reply. Yes I could find the morning connection on OBB. I bought it. Thanks for your help.
Hope it is ok to collect the ticket at Vienna station on the day of journey.
I am planning to travel from Zagreb to Split, via Plitvice lakes the next day. Is the train journey going to be a tiring one, those who have travelled this route.
Regards,
Sneha

Hi Sneha!
If you bought a ticket for the morning departure then you will have to change trains. I assume you booked the train leaving Vienna via Villach at 0825?
The most scenic part is the Semmering line after Wiener Neustadt, I recommend to sit on the left hand side.
Other scenic parts are between Judenburg and St Veit as well as between Ljubljana and Dobova (sit on the right).
You can collect the ticket using your ticket code on the day of departure at a ticket machine in Vienna.
