私人汽车接送从 Venice 到 Zagreb

You’ll start in Venice and leave the romantic city of intricate waterways behind you. Firstly, your private driver will take you through the Veneto region, meaning you’ll have a feast of vineyard views and Italian countryside landscapes. While you are still in Italy, visit Palmanova Outlet. You might not believe its existence, but yes, there is a village in Italy that was built only for shopping. There are more than 90 outlet shops, restaurants and cafes for breaks. Buy several new outfits here for the Croatian leg of your trip.

Heading closer to the Italian-Slovenian border, stop at Gorizia, a city nestled between two valleys, Isonzo and Vipava. Visit the Groizia Castle for panoramic views of the city with the Alps in the background. It is especially perfect for a calm break because tourists do not overrun it.

One of the best parts of booking a car trip from Venice to Zagreb is that you’ll be passing through another country that is rich in nature and quite popular, especially among European travelers who prefer avoiding big crowds when hiking, swimming, and walking. Slovenia is maybe less popular a destination than Italy and Croatia but definitely has a lot to offer its visitors. Stop to explore Skocjan Caves for the limestone cave passages that are almost four miles long (six km), natural bridges, lakes, and waterfalls. Make sure you have a jacket with you since in the caves, it is always 54°F (12°C). Spare some time for Ljubljana before you arrive in Zagreb and explore the green capital and its car-free center.

The upper town (Gornji Grad) of Zagreb is its heart and the historic core of the city. Here, Ban Jelačić Square stands out as the busy meeting point for locals. Choose here as your starting point for exploring the city. Ilica Street stretches out from here in front of you. Take a stroll (and maybe shop) here since it is one of the longest and busiest shopping streets with cafes and restaurants spread out along.

You'll quickly find St. Mark's Church in the upper town, for it can be easily spotted for its colorful tiled roof depicting the medieval coats of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia, and Slavonia as well as the city's emblem. The eye-catching combination of the colors of the Croatian flag- bright red, navy blue, and white- will dazzle for quite some time.

When you continue one street up, you’ll come across the Lotrščak Tower, another emblematic structure. Climb up to catch a far-reaching view of the city lying beneath you. Plus, in the same neighborhood stands the biggest sacred building in all of Croatia, the Cathedral of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Visiting inside is temporarily unavailable, but you’ll still enjoy its bright white exterior.

Descending from the Upper Town, the Lower Town (Donji Grad) spreads out with its Austro-Hungarian architecture, spacious squares, and parks, including the Zrinjevac Park. This area is a testament to Zagreb's 19th-century expansion and houses many museums, galleries, and theaters, such as the Croatian National Theatre.

Zagreb is a capital that offers all branches of culture from classical to far alternative. The selection of museums is more interesting than many big cities, with a wide selection of contemporary art, history, and interactive and quirky collections. The cultural calendar of Zagreb is also full all year round with events, exhibitions, and festivals. For an even livelier time in Zagreb, plan your trip around the Zagreb Film Festival, INmusic Festival, and Advent in Zagreb, which has been voted the best Christmas market in Europe several times.

Zagreb doesn’t only have an urban character. It is also dotted with parks and green spaces. Maksimir Park, the city's largest park, is a perfect spot for relaxation, recreation, and nature walks. For those seeking adventure, Medvednica Mountain, just a short drive from the city, offers hiking, biking, and skiing options with beautiful views of the Zagreb area.

Border crossings

Crossing from Italy into Slovenia and then from Slovenia into Croatia requires passing through international borders. Since both Slovenia and Croatia are part of the European Union, border checks are generally straightforward, but have your identification ready for inspection in any case. Croatia joined the Schengen Area in January 2023, which simplifies border formalities but doesn't eliminate them entirely, especially for non-EU citizens.

Prepare yourself practically and culturally

Getting from Venice to Zagreb means transitioning from the Italian to the Croatian cultural and linguistic spheres. Familiarize yourself with basic Croatian phrases, and try to learn and understand local customs and currency (Croatia uses the Kuna, not the Euro). It will help you enhance your travel experience and interactions with locals. On your way to Croatia, spend a bit of your time reading about the culture of Croatia here.

Eat your way through the ride

Dive into the regional cuisines as you travel. Northern Italy and Croatia have distinct gastronomic delights, from Venetian seafood dishes to Croatian specialties like ćevapi or strukli. Consider choosing your stops according to the restaurants and the specific food a region offers.

Stay informed and flexible

Be prepared for different weather conditions, which can significantly impact your travel experience, especially if you're planning to make some stops to explore outside. Check the weather forecast in advance and be ready for sudden changes if you are traveling in transitional seasons. Also, be informed about local holidays or events in both Venice and Zagreb to avoid unexpected closures of shops, museums, or attractions.

Stay flexible with your plans to adapt to any unforeseen circumstances, be it delays, detours, or discovering stopping spontaneously somewhere along the way that you hadn't planned to visit. Let these unplanned moments be some of the highlights of your trip.

Venice to Zagreb by car

Rent a car for a flexible trip compared to train or bus options. It will take you approximately three and a half to five and a half hours to drive to Zagreb without the stops and traffic conditions included. The most common path is through Slovenia, entering Croatia from the north. You’ll be on the road for around 229 miles (370 km), depending on the exact starting point in Venice and the path chosen. Keep in mind that you’ll need to take care of toll and fuel costs, as well as potential cross-border traffic.

Venice to Zagreb by train

The train ride to Zagreb takes roughly six to ten hours, depending on connections. There's no direct train from Venice to Zagreb, so you'd take a train from Venice to Villach (Austria) and then transfer to a train to Zagreb, or take a train to Trieste (Italy) and then transfer to a bus or another train towards Zagreb. With this option, you’ll enjoy a beautiful scenic journey and a rather comfortable one, especially if you get carsick during bus or car rides. It is also good if you prefer not to drive. However, it comes with a longer travel time due to transfers and scheduling constraints. Check the possible train options here or at Trenitalia.

Venice to Zagreb by bus

Taking a bus to get from Venice to Zagreb takes about five to eight hours, depending on the operator you choose. There are direct bus services and ones with stops along the way. The bus can be a straightforward one without the need for transfers. It is relatively economical, and also means no need to worry about driving or parking. However, it offers less flexibility in terms of departure times and longer durations than driving. Take a look at the schedule of Flixbus for direct bus rides.

Venice to Zagreb by plane

Getting to Zagreb by plane is one hour of flying time; however, when you count the airport check-in, security, and travel to and from airports, the total time is actually way longer. The direct flights are limited and not daily. Often, connecting flights through other European cities might be more readily available. Before booking a flight, consider the potentially higher cost and the fact that flying is less environmentally friendly.

Venice to Zagreb by private car service

Booking your seat with a door-to-door private car service is the most comfortable and flexible option. The duration is similar to driving yourself, around three and a half to four and a half hours. But it is significantly different from driving in the sense of ultimate convenience, such as not having to worry about driving in a different country, tolls and fuels, parking in Zagreb, and traffic conditions. Tailor your own trip according to your preferences, add all the stops you’d like to make along the way, and leave the rest to your local driver.

Make exploring museums your mission

The range of museums in Zagreb is one of the most diverging ones, with so many different experiences to be had from each of them. You’ll find new and interesting concepts here more than in the classical museums you are familiar with. Start with the Technical Museum of Nikola Tesla. By paying only 4 euros, you will enjoy two to three hours of exploring interactive exhibits on Tesla's inventions, attending science demonstrations, and delving into various technological advancements across aviation, transportation, and energy.

Next, continue to one of the most moving museums you’ll ever visit: the Museum of Broken Relationships. Here, the importance and beauty of sharing the stories of our broken hearts are highlighted, and going through the collections of items that once belonged to someone and reading the history they preserve is definitely an emotional roller coaster, so be prepared!

Don’t leave without visiting the Museum of Hangovers! With your ticket will come a free shot of rakia, and you will go through the funniest hangover stories and items people woke up with.

Hike and wander in Medvednica’s forests

For a calm escape into nature, go for a hike in Medvednica Mountain, which is only a short ride away from the center. Trails range from easy walks to challenging climbs, leading through dense forests to panoramic vistas. The medieval fortress of Medvedgrad and the peak of Sljeme will be the highlights of your hike, and you’ll remember the city views for a long time. The mountain's rich biodiversity, historical sites, and well-marked paths will make it one of your favorite spots to hike in both. Learn more about the hike here.

Dive into Croatian cuisine

Dining in Zagreb is an amazing way to get to know about Croatia’s delicious traditions with modern twists. For traditional Croatian cuisine, reserve your table at Konoba Didov San. It will be a cozy and authentic experience. For a more sophisticated atmosphere, go to Vinodol and enjoy a different selection of local dishes. Having a meal at Noel means a fusion of Croatian and international flavors, presenting innovative dishes in a Michelin-starred setting. Visit La Struk for a really casual and cozy setting to try some of the best examples of the cuisine.
