Title: Vienna to Zagreb/Split/Dubrovnik
Post by: Touring Aussies on February 28, 2010, 01:24:25 am

Hi Folks
Hope someone can provide assistance.  We want to travel from Vienne to Zagreb by train spend 2 day there then go down to Split for 3 days then onto Dubrovnik for another 3 days before flying back to Vienna.  Sounds simple.
Want to travel during the day to see the country side on all trips, would prefer direct unless it is too expensive.

Can some one tell us.
Cheapest fare?
who offers it?
how do we book it?
name of stations train arrives & departs from?

Thanks
