Croatia railway info
The network of Croatian Railways (HZ Putnicki prijevoz, short HZ) is centred around the capital Zagreb. Attractively situated, Croatia acts as an intersection of routes from Europe's west to east and from north to south, being the shortest connection of central Europe with the Adriatic and the Mediterranean.

Croatian rail network
Croatia's rail network connects all major Croatian cities, except Dubrovnik. If you want to visit Dubrovnik, you will have to travel by train to Split, and then go on the bus for Dubrovnik. There are direct lines from Austria, Czech Republic, Switzerland, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia, Italy and Greece.
As of 2004, the new 160kph "tilting trains" that connect Zagreb with Split and other major cities in Croatia such as Rijeka and Osijek have been progressively introduced. This results in higher levels of comfort and significantly faster journeys between cities (Zagreb-Split is now 5.5 hours instead of 9, Osijek is now 3 when other trains take around 4.5 hours).
Reservation fees
There are some trains within Croatia that require an additional reservation fee: ICN Zagreb - Split and IC Zagreb - Rijeka/Osijek/Cakovec. You can make reservations during your trip at most international train stations. For details see the pages:
