For the first time in over 30 years, Zagreb, Ljubljana and Pula will be linked by a direct rail service, as Croatian and Slovenian railways join forces to launch the route on 20 June 2025.
The sleek, low-floor Slovenian train — equipped with Wi-Fi, bike spaces, and access for wheelchair users — will depart Zagreb every Friday, pass through Ljubljana and arrive in Pula, returning on Sundays.
The service, running until 13 December, offers 171 seats and speeds up to 140 km/h.
It complements existing daily connections between Zagreb and Ljubljana and introduces additional cross-border trains: Pula–Divača on Saturdays and seasonal Buzet–Divača trains from late June to August.
Operators say this is more than just a timetable change — it’s a step toward greener, more connected travel in the region.
