I travelled to Croatia from London by train | ft. 16-HOUR OVERNIGHT TRAIN Zurich to Zagreb

This summer I travelled to Croatia by train from London. This was one of the best train journeys I’ve done and features a 16-hour overnight sleeper train from Zurich to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.

I got to see so much more along the way than if I had flown, like the famous Le Train Blue restaurant at Gare de Lyon station in Paris. We also got to explore Zurich and enjoy the stunning views of Slovenia from a cosy sleeper cabin. I give a cabin tour on the sleeper train and share my thoughts on the journey throughout.

We passed through 7 countries and although I stopped off in places along the way, it only takes just over a day (27 hours) to get from London to Zagreb without staying over in Paris or Zurich. This is part i of my trip where I show the journey across Europe to Croatia. The next video will be more about travelling around the country itself by train, bus and ferry.

If you enjoy this video please subscribe as it really helps me make more of these videos.

A few years ago I quit flying for holidays and since then whenever I go away I travel by land or sea, mainly by train or ferry.

If you’re interested in learning more about slow or sustainable travel and seeing what other flight-free holidays look like I will be uploading more videos in the future which explore both.
