Great stuff. I was originally planning to take this train back in April when I was Interrailing, but I just couldn't pass on all the spectacular Alpine scenery you miss when you travel overnight. So I took several daytime options instead (and saved about 300 euros 🤣). This makes me want to go back to Slovenia. Cheers
Great video! Reconstruction of the whole section between Slovenia/Croatia border and Zagreb is now fully completed, so there will be no more delays at least regarding Croatian side :) Operating speed on this part of the route is now 120 km/h (before reconstruction it was 60 km/h).
Slovenia and Croatia are both in the Schengen Area and EU while Switzerland is, despite not being in the EU, still in the Schengen Area. Europe has one of the densest rail networks in the world, at least on the mainland and in England.
'...crossing all of Liechtenstein...' That sounds grander than it ought to. 😃 Whilst not wanting to speculate on your disposable income, such houses cost a couple of million. I looked it up, it's not like I'm interested in purchasing one. 🙂 Think about CHF2.5m and upwards. I saw one for CHF7m or so, but no doubt that would be a very nice property indeed. What's interesting, though, is that just today the Nobel Prize for Economics was awarded. And the scientists that won it did research on differences in wealth and prosperity between countries. It turns out that, for a country to be wealthy, you need political stability. Few countries come to mind that are as politically stable as Switzerland. Just one final comment. An hour's delay is a lot, but the very intimate hug that we witness as you alight the train, reminds us that there are more important things in life. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
The houses you saw along Lake Zürich are actually on the "cheaper" side of the lake, as it is more shadowy. The other, sunny side of the lake is known as "Good Coast" for a reason.
Nice video... I had plan to travel from Zagreb to Zurich last year by night train, but it was sold almost month in advance...Alternative was from Zagreb to Vienna in the morning and then night train from Vienna to Zurich
Nice video! We went by car from Dubrovnik all the way to Lake Bled, with a side trip to Mostar in Bosnia two years ago. Would definitely like to take this sleeper train.
I, too, love Switzerland. When I was working there a couple of decades ago, even small houses were so expensive that 99-year mortgages were available, with the debt automatically passed on to children and grandchildren. Yikes! Thanks, grandpa.
From Sibiu (Hermannstadt) in Transsylvania (Romania) to Budapesta (Budapest) in Hungary in a CFR couchette ! Cheap and clean but old 2021 ! No border controls in Jesenice ? ".. Granicna Jesenice ! Pässe u Ausweis bitte.. " in 1988
9:13-And people complain about Amtrak's food options? At least on Amtrak (and VIA Rail here in Canada) people do get food, even if it isn't always five-star cuisine.
Very informative, thank you. What would make this even better would be a description of the bunk. I’m 6’4” and I suspect the length of the bunk wouldn’t accommodate me stretched out.
Lovely trip - but I have to say I would rather do the wjole thing daylight - missing out on all of the Swiss and Austrian scenery seems secriligious to me!
Can I ask about security? You said the room can only be locked from the inside, so what did you do when you left the room? Did you take your valuables with you or just risk leaving the door unlocked? I’ve heard so many stories of theft on night trains, so was just wondering if you felt safe on this journey? Great video btw, as always.
Nice trip. Dont think I'll ever persuade my wife to take an ordinary sleeper. One of those new fancy Italian ones maybe... Our holiday next year is likely to be to Trieste then on to Llubjana (including a trip to Lake Bled) then to Zagreb. Love Croatia - Balkan food is fabulous..
@@NonstopEurotrip A couple of reasons. One, she thinks she'd never be able to sleep on a train (the posh sleeper would have the attraction of a decent restaurant) and she's worried she may have to share with strangers (even though I've told her we could book the whole compartment).
@@NonstopEurotrip nice, though you won't be able to get there by train, there are no international routes, though because of floods that have been going on there, trains towards Mostar and Ploče harbour have been canceled as area which was flooded, land under the tracks is lowered a lot so it's like the track is floating
I personally prefer the night train to leave later in the evening/night and arrive later in the morning, which this train does.14:50 In Czech Republic, almost all people go to the sea in Croatia and it has become such a stereotype that as a person who hates stereotypes, I don't like Croatia at all, especially beaches with stones. I think Italy is better than Croatia at all.

Your night train videos always make me so happy
I love making them too :)
Great video so glad your back to releasing videos every Friday again
I just had to catch up, now we're good again!

Yeah that's definitely a consideration 😆
@horsehollerer You're definitely the smarter one, in my opinion.
Great video.
Thanks!
Wow, that route is so beautiful!
It really is!

Greetings from Redondo Beach 🇺🇸🇺🇸Wonderful train ride video of Zurich to Zagreb🌷🌷
Many thanks!
Your voice makes your highly enjoyable and informative videos even better!
Wow, thanks Norman!
Ótimo vídeo boa viagem de trem 3:38
Wonderful. Greetings from Canada.

Very true! And I definitely couldn't afford any of those lakeside houses 😆
👍💯😘🤩🤩can't stop myself watching it! Thank you for sharing the nice video👍💯💯
Thanks for watching 😁😁😁
Thank you my friend your videos never disappoint
Glad you like them Robert ☺️

Eeeeek 😂😂😂
Gold Coast you mean...
@@peteT269indeed. Autocorrect...
Great trip. Definitely great scenery, even though when passing alps on the dark.
Agreed!
Z to z top notch video
Thank you 😊🙏🏻
Nice video...

Availability seems to be pretty good at the moment!

I spent quite a good night in the same Croatian sleeper from Zagreb to Split in 2019. I wish such sleepers operated between Budapest and Split.
Well, they do. There is ADRIA night train operated by MAV during summer.
If the train is no a 40 year old “retro” experience, that’s great news!
I wish they ran all year round:)
this is nice trip!
Thanks so much! 🙏🏻

I absolutely loved Switzerland. When I was there. I bought the Swiss rail pass.

I'm 6'1 and it was fine, with space left at each end
Lovely trip - but I have to say I would rather do the wjole thing daylight - missing out on all of the Swiss and Austrian scenery seems secriligious to me!
A good point ☝🏻
I’m not sure the tap looked new enough to be touch sensitive, are you sure there wasn’t a foot pedal, I missed one like that recently.
I did look 😆

I've never had an issue but I'll take my valuables money passport laptop in my backpack when away from the room

Actually I think we're going to France next year to use the Occitane Pass & finally ride Le Petit Train Jaune..
Why doesn't she like sleeper trains Mark?

@@markellis6413 excuses excuses 😆
Looks a decent carriage and a really beautiful journey. I'll never understand how people get a decent night's sleep on sleeper trains though
My body is just used to it. I've done so many 😆
Why is Switzerland so expensive?
Rich people 😎
When are you coming to Bosnia
Hopefully next year!
@@NonstopEurotrip nice, though you won't be able to get there by train, there are no international routes, though because of floods that have been going on there, trains towards Mostar and Ploče harbour have been canceled as area which was flooded, land under the tracks is lowered a lot so it's like the track is floating
300€ is a steep steep price
Not for 3 sharing

This is pretty much the perfectly times night train for me!
Bro next journey in india please
Very soon!
How biased your reviews are. If water doesn't come in Indian train toilets, you definitely make it a point while summarising 😮
I had a sink in my room :)
Excellent video
Thank you very much!
