Hello all,

My husband and I are planning a 15th anniversary trip to Istanbul, Zagreb and Dubrovnik in May 2010. We would like to take the train from Istanbul to Zagreb.  What would be the best and least expensive routes to take? 

Thank you so much!

Best, most straight forward by rail and probably the least expensive is to take Istanbul-Sofia-Belgrade carriage 22:00-19:18* (goes with everyday Istanbul-Bucharest night train), fare as of now 107.9 Turkish Liras + 40 Liras more for the sleeper reservation.
From Belgrade you will need to use overnight train to Zagreb 21:50-4:53, fare slightly less than 30 euro + app. for 10 for couchette. Ticket and reservation need to be purchased in Serbia.
In case you plan to travel more in the region or stop on the route form Istanbul to Belgrade you might as well consider Balkan Flexi pass option.

* schedule in timetable until 12/12/09, new timetable on the route is expected soon and probably would be quite similar/ the same.
