Useful tips for train travellers
• On your journey from Berlin to Zagreb, you'll typically travel on trains operated by Deutsche Bahn (DB) and Croatian Railways (HŽPP). DB offers a catering service with snacks and beverages available for purchase, while HŽPP may provide dining options, often featuring local dishes. Be sure to check the dining car upon boarding for the latest menu and service times.
• Seating options vary based on the operator. DB typically offers First Class (with larger seats and more amenities) and Second Class (Economy), which provides comfortable seating but fewer frills. HŽPP's services usually include Economy Class and potentially a more basic option. If you're looking for a more relaxed experience, consider upgrading to First Class on DB for additional space and comfort.
• Upon arriving at Zagreb's main station (Zagreb Glavni Kolodvor), you'll find that luggage storage services are available, allowing you to explore the city without your bags. The station also features restrooms, but be aware that facilities like showers are not generally available. For a seamless transition to the city center, I recommend taking tram line 6 or bus number 290, which provides frequent service to the heart of Zagreb.
