CROATIA RAIL HOLIDAYS
Discover Croatia’s stunning coastline, historic cities and sun-soaked landscapes on our rail packages, taking you through Southern Europe.
From the elegant streets of Zagreb to the sparkling Adriatic coast, Croatia rail holidays combine cultural discovery with breathtaking scenery. Travel by rail through neighbouring countries before arriving in Croatia, where medieval towns, crystal-clear waters and relaxed Mediterranean charm await.
Travel through Central Europe by rail to reach Croatia, passing through cities such as Vienna, Budapest or Ljubljana before arriving in Zagreb, the country’s charming capital. From here, continue your journey south toward the Adriatic coast, where landscapes shift from rolling countryside to dramatic coastline.
DISCOVER DUBROVNIK AND THE DALMATION COAST
At the heart of any Croatia rail holiday lies the spectacular Dalmatian Coast, where historic cities meet the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea.
Dubrovnik, with its iconic stone walls and terracotta rooftops, is one of Europe’s most breathtaking destinations. Wander through its beautifully preserved Old Town, walk the ancient city walls and take in sweeping coastal views. Further north, Split offers a vibrant blend of Roman history and modern Mediterranean life, centred around the remarkable Diocletian’s Palace.
Croatia’s coastline is not only visually stunning, it also offers a relaxed pace of travel, where island-hopping, waterfront dining and scenic coastal walks are all part of the experience.
