Wien Hauptbahnhof Meeting Point – Vienna Central Station (Wien Hauptbahnhof) Taxi Pick-Up Area at Südtiroler Platz We recommend meeting outside Wien Hauptbahnhof on the Südtiroler Platz (South Tyrol Square) side, at the taxi pick-up/drop-off area. This spot is easy to find, and allows for short-term parking—ideal for private transfers. Address for GPS: Südtiroler Platz, 1100 Vienna, Austria (Entrance side of Hauptbahnhof facing the tram stops and taxi zone) Look for your driver: We will wait near the taxi area, holding a sign with your name. Please ensure your phone is reachable in case we need to coordinate. Attention: Summer Travel Update Please note, that we do not offer Day tours to Ljubljana during the summer holiday period due to severe traffic congestion at the Austria–Slovenia–Croatia border. We appreciate your understanding and recommend exploring our other available destinations during this time.

    Our journey from Vienna to Zagreb takes around 4.5 to 5 hours, depending on traffic and border conditions. For comfort and safety, we always include a short coffee/restroom break about halfway through — usually after 2.5 hours of driving, near Graz or just before the Slovenian border.

    After our short break in or near Graz, we continue south toward Zagreb, Croatia’s capital — crossing two international borders along the way (Austria → Slovenia → Croatia). What to Expect: Border Control: You’ll need a valid passport or EU ID. Both Slovenia and Croatia are in the EU Drive Time: Approximately 2.5 hours from Graz to Zagreb, depending on border wait times and traffic around Maribor.

    Zagreb

    Because Google Maps can’t tell you stories. When we arrive in Zagreb, we don’t just drop you off with a map and say “good luck.” You’ll be greeted by a local guide who knows the city’s history, secrets, and how to dodge tourist traps. What You’ll See : St. Mark’s Church – With the crazy tiled roof that’s more Instagrammed than explained. Stone Gate – A city gate that’s also a shrine Lotrščak Tower – Learn why a cannon fires every day at noon. Tkalčićeva Street – Cafés, people-watching, and stories you won’t find in any brochure. Ban Jelačić Square – Zagreb’s main plaza and beating heart. All in a relaxed 1.5-hour walk, flat and easy, with plenty of photo stops

    Let’s not sugarcoat it: it’s a haul. Once your Zadar gelato has melted and your camera’s full of tiled roofs and cannon towers, it’s time for the long stretch home.

    Vienna

    It will be a quiet ride, not a sightseeing tour. Bring snacks, podcasts, and patience. Don’t expect to roll into Vienna feeling like you just stepped out of a spa. But you’ll get there. And you’ll have done two countries in one day, which is still pretty cool

    3 hours Admission ticket free
