Hi,
I hope someone can help me. In may I want to travel from Zagreb to Berlin by train. I tried to search for some information, but I could not find that much. I also tried to read the site of the Croatian railways, but I can not read Croatian, and I also got errors all the time. Also on this forum I could not find that much.

Is there a direct train from Zagreb to Berlin? What is the price from this train? Are there any other opportunities to come (cheap) to Berlin from Zagreb? Or do I have to go from Zagreb to another city by train and go to Berlin by train from that city?

Thanks for help! :D

hi ...

[b]OVER NIGHT CONNECTION:[/b]
[b]Zagreb Glavni Kolod.[/b] dep: 2115 | night train: [u]https://rail.cc/en/rijeka-munich-night-train/f3363[/u]
[b]München Hbf[/b] arr: 0615
[b]München Hbf[/b] dep: 0719 | by ICE train (free for rail pass travelers)
[b]Berlin Hbf (tief)[/b] arr: 1310

I don't know the fares for travelers without a rail pass. But shouldn't be to expensive... ~ EUR 50 for a seat in the night train.
For the ICE if you get a special offer, it will be ~ EUR 29. The full price Munich-Berlin is: EUR 116.

[b]DAY CONNECTION:[/b]
[b]Zagreb Glavni Kolod.[/b] dep: 0700 | by EC train (free for rail pass travelers)
[b]München Hbf[/b] arr: 1533
[b]München Hbf[/b] dep: 1719 | by ICE train (free for rail pass travelers)
[b]Berlin Hbf[/b] arr: 2317

Fare: if you get a ticket called Europa Spezial Kroatien via the website of the German national railway company: [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] - the fare will be EUR 39 !!! :)
But you have to book early - up to 2 months in advance and fix the date.
The full fare is: EUR 194
Then better buy an InterRail ticket 5 days in 10, use the trains for free like mentioned above. And you even have some more days to travel.

Hi!

There's no direct train between the two cities (anymore); however you will find several connections via Salzburg and München, for instance:

Zagreb 0700 - 1533 München
München 1621 - 2046 Leipzig
Leipzig 2051 - 2212 Berlin

Zagreb 1300 - 2122 München Ost
München Ost 2151 - 0829 Berlin

or via Vienna:

Zagreb 1545 - 2125 Wien Meidling
Wien Meidling 2223 - 0854 Berlin

Are you only going to Berlin or do you return as well by train?
If you want to this with an InterRail ticket best option would be the 5in10 global pass for 159€ - for the night trains you will have to pay an additional supplement (~5€ for Wien - Berlin, ~10€ for München - Berlin), the day trains are free.
There might be some offers for cheap fares as well...check [ux]https://rail.shop/bahn[/ux] for the german part.
