Bookings for summer night-train travel to the Adriatic are open again: the ÖBB Nightjet takes holidaymakers from Vienna and Graz directly to Split three times a week from late April. Car transport is also available.
Quick overview
This update is especially relevant for rail travelers because it can affect planning, connections or transport infrastructure. The focus is on Nightjet, night trains, Vienna-Split and ÖBB. The key points are summarized below.
Key points
- Seasonal Vienna - Split service.
- Several comfort categories: seats, couchettes and sleepers.
- Car and motorcycle transport between Vienna and Split is available.
What this means for travelers
For travelers, the main question is whether the service becomes a real alternative to flying. Timetable position, booking launch, comfort categories and connections at the origin and destination stations will be decisive.
Context
This connection is an important building block for sustainable tourism in Dalmatia and serves continued strong demand for comfortable cross-border night trains with car transport.
What to watch now
- Wait for the booking launch and confirmed operating days.
- Compare sleeper and couchette options early, because cheaper quotas can sell out quickly.
- Plan connections at the origin and destination stations with enough buffer.
