Preguntas y Respuestas sobre Viajar de Zagreb a Budapest
Is there a high-speed train from Zagreb to Budapest?

What is the best way to get from Croatia to Budapest?
The best way to travel from Croatia to Budapest if you’re concerned about is with a private driver. It's the only door-to-door option and the only way to stop for sightseeing! Other options include taking the train or a bus for the 220-mile (350 km) distance. Trains and buses provide convenient and budget-friendly options while driving allows for flexibility and scenic exploration.
Is there a direct flight from Croatia to Budapest?
No, not very often. During the height of the tourist season, some airlines may have a limited number of direct flights from various Croatian cities to Budapest, but not usually. Layovers are most often in Vienna, Munich, or Frankfurt. Your trip may involve traveling to another city by train, bus, or car if you would like to have a nonstop flight.

No. Hungary uses the Hungarian Forint as its currency. Tourist hotspots may take cash in euros, but the conversion rate will not be favorable for you. Some places are cash-only, so make sure you have some Forints in cash on you as well.

The car trip from Zagreb to Budapest offers sights that few visitors to either of these cities get to see. With Daytrip, you can get to Budapest while also admiring the built and natural wonders between these two cities. Add some stops to personalize your itinerary and make it a memorable journey!
To start the trip off right, travel about an hour and a half north of Zagreb and stop by Varaždin. This former capital of Croatia was mostly spared during the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s, and is, therefore, known for its well-preserved Baroque architecture. While other Croatian cities have had to incorporate modern buildings into their downtowns, Varaždin has remained relatively unchanged. Explore the medieval Old Town, visit Varaždin Castle, and enjoy a leisurely walk along the Drava River.
Once you’re in Hungary, you do not want to miss the Tapolca Lake Cave. Take a guided boat tour underground and admire the naturally formed limestone caves and thermal spring waters from Lake Tapolca. Your Daytrip driver can get you right where you need to go for this excursion, but this trip often sells out fast, so secure your tickets today to avoid being disappointed!
Once you’ve dried off from the hot springs, continue to the Hungarian capital of Budapest! With Daytrip’s door-to-door service, you won’t have to worry about returning a rental car or hauling luggage all over the city. You’ll be all set for the next part of your vacation: Budapest.
About Budapest
Originally two separate cities—Buda and Pest—Budapest was united in 1873 to form the modern metropolis it is today. Buda, situated on the west bank of the Danube River, is known for its historic castle district, dominated by the majestic Buda Castle, which offers panoramic views of the city. A quick walk over the Chain Bridge will get you to Pest, which is located on the opposite bank. Its grand boulevards, neoclassical buildings, and iconic landmarks are hard to miss. Make sure you stop by the Hungarian Parliament Building and St. Stephen's Basilica.
Budapest suffered significant damage during World War II, with many of its historic buildings and landmarks destroyed or damaged. However, extensive reconstruction efforts in the post-war years restored much of the city's architectural heritage. Notable examples include the meticulous rebuilding of Buda Castle, Castle Hill, and the Jewish Quarter. Some buildings are still undergoing reconstruction and detailing almost 80 years later. As you walk around the city, find pre-war photos on your phone and compare the reconstructed buildings to the originals for an interesting look into the process.
Today, Budapest has a vibrant cultural scene and thriving urban life which attracts visitors from around the world. From its charming thermal baths, exciting nightlife, and bustling markets, Budapest offers a lively atmosphere to guests and residents alike.
From Zagreb to Budapest: Travel tips
Things may have changed since the last time you traveled from Zagreb to Budapest! Keep these travel tips in mind for your trip:
No More Border Checks
If you have been in this region before and remember a long wait at the Croatian-Hungarian border so everyone could get their passport scanned and examined, then this is good news! As of 1 January 2023, Croatia entered the Schengen zone, which is an agreement between countries to allow the free movement of people between the borders of member countries. Now you can pass between Croatia and Hungary without border checks, just like any other EU country.
Add a stop to your schedule
This route within Europe is so under-explored that no matter which excursion you add to your Daytrip journey, you are sure to have a unique time in a place few others have visited. Visit the stagecoach museum in Helikon Castle and see how your Daytrip ride may have looked 200 years ago before cars. Or relax and take a thermal bath at Heviz Lake, with mineral-rich mud and warm water in every season. What better way to make a unique experience out of a travel day?
How to get from Zagreb to Budapest
You have lots to look forward to on your trip, but first, let’s get you on the road! Check out how to get from Zagreb to Budapest!
Zagreb to Budapest by Private Driver with Daytrip
If you don’t want to be beholden to the bus or train timetables, a private car from Zagreb to Budapest is the most flexible option. Hiring a private driver from Daytrip will save you from the chore of driving while still keeping you in control. Daytrip drivers know the region well, speak English and will help get you to all the points of interest you’d like to see.
The distance is approximately 220 miles (350 kilometers) and takes around 4 hours. This is the perfect amount of travel time to add excursions. Break up the driving with a stop or two, and turn your travel day into an unforgettable part of your European vacation.
Zagreb to Budapest by Bus
Traveling from Zagreb to Budapest by bus is a cheap option and the direct journey takes around 5 to 6 hours. Check the timetables ahead of time, and purchase your tickets online in advance for the smoothest experience and lowest cost.
Zagreb to Budapest by Train
Depending on the time of year, there are direct train services available from Zagreb to Budapest, operated by national railways like OBB and HŽPP. Summer tourist season tends to have daily direct trains, but in other seasons you may need to transfer. For interrail pass holders, this can be a cost-effective way to travel in coach, but be aware that interrail tickets must be purchased ahead of time, and the direct trains sell out fast.
Flights from Zagreb to Budapest
There are currently very few, if any, direct flights from Zagreb to Budapest. Most flights will require a stop first in Vienna, Frankfurt, or Munich. Between the extra flight time, layover, getting to and from the airport, and the time needed for check-in and security, flying loses its appeal. Take this into consideration if you plan to fly, and do your research well in advance. For the price of flying, it might be more convenient to hire a private driver.
Things to do when you get to Budapest
Thanks to Daytrip’s door-to-door service, you won’t have to worry about returning a rental car once you arrive from Zagreb to Budapest. Once you arrive in Budapest, you won't be stranded without a car. Budapest is incredibly bike-friendly, so take advantage of the dedicated bike lanes, flat landscape, and easy-to-use bike rentals. Biking is not only great exercise, but it is also a cheap, quick way to get around the hotspots of Budapest. If biking isn’t your style, rest assured, that the public transit system is widespread and runs frequently. Let’s start exploring the best things to do when you get to Budapest!
Explore the Buda Castle District
Buda Castle, on the west bank of the Danube River, dominates the busy streets of Pest below. A castle has stood over the river since 1295, protecting citizens from attacks and invasions.
The castle today isn't the same structure as 700 years ago, having been destroyed and rebuilt multiple times over the centuries, most recently following its destruction during World War II. Today, you can explore the walkways and learn about this history without spending a penny.
Some of Castle Hill’s most notable landmarks include:
- Fisherman’s Bastion
- The Royal Palace
- The Royal Gardens
- Matthias Church
- Hungarian National Gallery
Have a Spa Day
You had an exciting trip from Zagreb to Budapest, so now it’s time to relax in one of Budapest's many thermal baths. The city sits atop over 100 natural thermal springs, making it one of the top destinations for thermal bathing in Europe. The Rudas Thermal Bath is one of the oldest and was founded in the 16th century during Ottoman rule, which is evident by its alluring Turkish bathhouse style. The Széchenyi Thermal Bath is the largest medical bath in Europe and is the most popular in Budapest. With options to add saunas, steam rooms, massages, and clay baths, you can find spa packages at any price point at one of the many baths.
Scenes of the Danube River
Take a stroll or bike ride along the riverbanks of the Danube, admiring iconic landmarks such as the Chain Bridge and the Parliament Building. Even better, take a scenic cruise along the Danube River to see Budapest's landmarks illuminated at night. Many night cruises also offer dinner and drinks to bring you the full experience of a romantic night out on the river under the moon.
The Jewish Quarter
Budapest had a solidly middle-class Jewish population before WWII, but its community fell by 90% during WWII and the Jewish Quarter faced extensive damage. Today, it is home to restored historic synagogues that are open for tours. The Synagogue Triangle has three large synagogues within walking distance of each other. The Dohány Street Synagogue is the largest synagogue in Europe and one of the most iconic landmarks of Budapest, with room to seat 3,000 people.
Along with historic synagogues and memorials, the Jewish Quarter is also a party district now, with trendy cafes and quirky “ruin pubs” in formerly run-down buildings. This unique repurposing of buildings that would have otherwise been left abandoned is just one way Budapest was able to find creative ways to bounce back after the destruction of WWII.
When is the best time to visit Budapest
Budapest is full of activities no matter the season. The historical buildings, museums, spas, and nightclubs are there year-round, but Budapest also offers cultural events and festivals for each season.
Spring is perhaps the best time to visit Budapest. The weather is pleasant, there are fewer crowds, and you’ll be able to enjoy the Budapest Wine Festival, which showcases Hungary's rich wine culture!
Summer is the most popular time to visit. The many tourists and high temperatures can make exploring the city frustrating. But it's worth it for the Sziget Festival, one of Europe's largest music festivals. It attracts international artists and music lovers from around the world.
Like spring, autumn sees cooler temperatures and fewer visitors. It's also when the Budapest International Documentary Festival occurs, so you can catch some thought-provoking documentaries.
Lastly, during the winter months, Budapest transforms into a holiday wonderland with festive decorations, Christmas markets, and events for New Year's Eve. When temperatures dip, the thermal spas are even more enticing!

“Estamos muy contentos con nuestro viaje y estamos tan felices de haber encontrado DayTrip cuando lo hicimos. Habíamos reservado originalmente (desde casa en los Estados Unidos) un viaje en tren de Budapest a Zagreb. Una vez que estuvimos en Europa, revisamos la reserva y descubrimos que en realidad no llegaría a Zagreb en absoluto. Mi esposo encontró DayTrip en una búsqueda en Google y después de leer algunas reseñas, reservamos un viaje. Nuestro conductor, Darko, fue muy profesional e hizo que nuestro viaje fuera sin esfuerzo. Ahora tenemos la aplicación de DayTrip en nuestros teléfonos y definitivamente la usaremos para futuras aventuras.”

“Usamos Daytrip para nuestras necesidades de transporte al viajar de Zagreb a Budapest, de Budapest a Viena y de Viena a Praga. Nuestros conductores fueron geniales, llegaron a tiempo, fueron profesionales y nos proporcionaron información local mientras viajábamos. Usamos Daytrip para no tener que lidiar con llegar a una estación de autobús/tren con nuestro equipaje. Fácil de reservar en línea. Recomendaría altamente Daytrip.”
“Mi esposo y yo reservamos Daytrip para nuestro traslado de Budapest a Zagreb. Elegimos las 2 paradas turísticas recomendadas y estuvimos muy contentos con el viaje de principio a fin. Nuestro conductor fue puntual, amigable, bien informado, profesional y un conductor seguro. Disfrutamos mucho las 2 paradas que Daytrip recomendó porque no solo rompieron el viaje, sino que lo más importante, nos permitieron ver nuevos pueblos que no habíamos experimentado previamente. Recomendamos altamente Daytrip a otros, ya que puedes sentarte y relajarte mientras disfrutas del paisaje increíble.”
“Recientemente utilizamos Daytrip para un viaje desde Zagreb a Budapest. El viaje transcurrió de manera excelente. El conductor nos recogió a tiempo y nos entregó en nuestro destino según lo previsto. El vehículo estaba impecable y cómodo. El conductor, Dario, fue muy profesional, cortés y amable. Sin duda, los recomendaríamos a cualquiera que necesite servicio de puerta a puerta o simplemente un viaje rápido al aeropuerto.”
“Mi hermano y yo hicimos recientemente un viaje de Budapest a Zagreb. Nuestro conductor, Attila, fue muy puntual, un muy buen conductor y un buen guía. Habíamos programado un par de paradas en el camino y él pudo compartir la historia de las áreas y encontrar buenos lugares para almorzar y tomar un café. Lo que más disfrutamos fue descubrir cómo es la vida en Hungría. Siempre es interesante escuchar a un local. ¡Sin duda lo volveríamos a reservar!”

“Recomiendo mucho esta compañía. Disfruté especialmente las paradas turísticas recomendadas en nuestro viaje de Budapest a Zagreb. Nuestro conductor fue servicial, muy seguro, y el coche fue cómodo.”
“Este fue el primer coche privado que he reservado. Para ser honesto, estaba un poco ansioso por toda la experiencia. Estoy muy contento de haberme atrevido. Estoy más que impresionado con el excelente servicio que Daytrip proporcionó. Mi conductor, Adnan, llegó a tiempo con un vehículo en excelente estado. Mi esposo y yo realmente disfrutamos de la compañía de Adnan durante el viaje. ¡Fue tan agradable! Tuvimos un transporte y una experiencia increíbles y, para nuestra sorpresa, sentimos que hicimos un amigo en Adnan.”

“¡Hola, compañeros viajeros del mundo! Acabo de regresar de un viaje increíble por el este de Europa. Como viajera solitaria que se reúne con otros 7 entusiastas de la fotografía, todos convergiendo en Zagreb, Croacia, como el punto de inicio y finalización de nuestro tiempo juntos, utilicé Daytrip desde Budapest, Hungría, a Zagreb (y de regreso). ¡Fue más rápido, más cómodo que tomar el tren! El viaje entre estas dos ciudades capitales toma alrededor de 4 horas con una breve parada para un espresso y la obligatoria pero perfuncional parada de control fronterizo entre Hungría y Croacia para revisar pasaportes. Mis conductores eran muy diferentes en personalidad, pero ambos dominaban el inglés, eran seguros y experimentados. ¿Cómo me enteré de Daytrip.com? El líder de mi tour de fotografía en realidad los contrató para el traslado de Zagreb a Split (con una parada nocturna en el Parque Nacional de Plitvice) y luego, después de nuestro crucero por el Adriático de una semana, desde Split, Croacia, hasta Eslovenia (paradas nocturnas en el lago Bled y Liubliana) y terminando de regreso en Zagreb, Croacia. Todo nuestro grupo quedó encantado con las cómodas furgonetas y/o coches utilizados, aunque debo decir que el primero nos malcrió a todos y estableció un estándar increíblemente alto. ¡Aparentemente Brad Pitt había alquilado este modelo de Mercedes especialmente elegante durante una visita! El conductor produjo fotos y artículos para demostrarlo.”
“Recientemente viajamos en familia de Budapest a Zagreb. El conductor fue encantador, el asiento del coche era apropiado para mi hijo y el coche estaba espacioso y limpio. Nuestro conductor hablaba un excelente inglés y permitió paradas en el camino. Me impresionó mucho este servicio.”
