Daytrip is a platform that connects you with local drivers who will transport you door-to-door, from one city to the next. We also give you the opportunity to explore sights/attractions along the way. We drive, you discover.
All Daytrip bookings are one way. If you need a return trip on a different date, simply book this as a separate one-way trip. For a same-day excursion, please request a custom trip. If you plan to stay more than a couple hours, we still recommend booking two one way trips so you're not paying a driver for waiting.
For Daytrip’s private service, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before departure. For the Daytrip Pool shared shuttle, we offer 3 ticket options when booking: Non-refundable, Flexible with cancellations 24-hours before departure, and Super-flexible with cancellations up to 15-minutes before departure. While you can cancel your booking for a full refund up to 24 hours in advance, changes requested under 36 hours are subject to driver availability, especially in the high season.
Simply choose your origin and destination via our homepage and enter your departure date and time. Browse and add sightseeing stops along the way by following the booking instructions provided on screen. It's a simple, easy, and fun way to book your next adventure! And if you don’t see your desired route on our website, you can request a custom trip. You can even book without knowing your exact pick-up or drop-off address - we let you add these later!
Each passenger is allowed one large bag (29" x 21" x 11" / 74 x 53 x 28 cm) and one small bag (22" x 14" x 9" / 56 x 36 x 23 cm). Luxury sedans can only accommodate 2 large bags. We always send the vehicle that is the best fit for you and your luggage, so make sure to select the actual amount of luggage you are traveling with when booking. If you have oversized luggage, or are unsure if your luggage will fit, contact us.
Everywhere except the USA, drivers will supply appropriate child seats (just let us know during booking). In the USA, certain states require you to supply your own child seats.
Daytrip es la forma más conveniente de experimentar más de 14.200 ciudades alrededor del mundo.
Todo viajero merece una visión real de las culturas de los países que visita. Y cada lugar increíble en la Tierra merece ser visitado y apreciado. Creemos que el conocimiento local único y la conexión humana real son insustituibles cuando se trata de comprender verdaderamente otra cultura.
Put two destinations together, and you've got yourself a car trip. But when it's the road from Zagreb to Venice, you've created a bucket-list adventure blessed with natural beauty and filled with unmissable attractions!
The adventure begins as the bubbling cauldron of Zagreb's vibrant Ban Jelacic Square pours you into the lush countryside of northern Croatia. You'll continue to flow like the crystal-clear rivers running through Slovenia's ridged valleys and around its soaring peaks until the Italian border. With the Alps on your right and the sprawling vineyards on your left, you begin to feel La Dolce Vita until the nation's most iconic city floating in the Adriatic Sea comes into view.
Driving in three countries and through rugged terrain can feel overwhelming if this is your first time touring from Zagreb to Venice. So, we created this one-stop-shop travel guide to ensure you immerse yourself in the laidback Italian lifestyle before you arrive!
About Venice
After your bucket-list drive from Zagreb to Venice, you'll arrive at Italy's capital of culture. Over 300,000 locals annually live in Veneto's second-largest city, located along the Adriatic Sea, only 80 miles from Slovenia in the east.
The beginning of Venice
Although Venice is a bustling, sought-after city today, it began life as a sanctuary for refugees fleeing invading tribes after the Roman Empire collapsed. At noon on March 25, 421 A.D., locals proclaimed the area a city called Venetia. From 697 until 1797, Venice thrived as a republic, leading to the stunning architecture you'll see today.
Modern Venice
With no roads, people turn to the maze of picturesque walkways and iconic canals to move around. The Grand Canal is like a main artery, cutting through the island's historical heart. A famous gondola ride here will reveal some of the city's most impressive structures, including the Rialto Bridge, Santa Maria della Salute, and Palazzo Grassi. However, no trip from Zagreb to Venice is complete without sampling a refreshing Aperol Spritz and a tasty cicchetti in one of the many lively bars!

From Zagreb to Venice: travel tips
The first step to a smooth trip from Zagreb to Venice is learning insider travel tips. Luckily, our travel experts and local drivers want to share some with you!
Visit Slovenia
Slovenia isn't on most travelers' radar. However, this breathtaking nation is one of Europe's most underrated destinations, sandwiched between Italy and Croatia!
Visiting this relatively unexplored Eastern European country, you'll contribute to sustainable travel and create unique memories. Some must-see attractions include the UNESCO-listed Skocjan Caves or Predjama Castle, the world's largest cave castle!
Embrace simplicity
Public transportation has limited storage space and often charges more for extra or oversized luggage. Therefore, embracing simplicity by packing light and taking only the essentials is important.
Also, if you stop to explore the extraordinary sights en route, you must carry your bags through towns or attractions. The last thing you want to do is trek over cobbled lanes and under the summer sun with a pack straining your back!
Reserve your spot in advance
There isn't a vast transportation network from Zagreb to Venice, and transportation companies know this. As a result, businesses often inflate the price of last-minute tickets, especially overnight carriages, as travelers have no choice but to use their service.
Also, Venice is one of Europe's most visited cities, so the museums and well-known restaurants are booked well in advance. Make sure to check the times and reserve your tickets before your trip from Zagreb to Venice. Whenever possible, buy skip-the-line tickets!
Pro tip: Book your free 15-minute spot at the Fondaco dei Tedeschi rooftop viewing platform today, as spaces are limited and sell out months in advance!
How to get from Zagreb to Venice
As of 2024, you have three options when choosing how to get from Zagreb to Venice. Find which is the cheapest, most scenic, and most convenient below!
Bus from Zagreb to Venice
The bus is the most popular way for local and international travelers to transfer from Zagreb to Venice. It's also the cheapest way to travel, as budget-friendly services, including Flixbus and Union Ivkoni, operate on this route.
The most vital thing to note is that buses don’t arrive on the island of Venice. Instead, you'll travel from Zagreb Bus Station to Mestre Train Station. You can take a short, 11-minute train to the floating city from here.
Unfortunately, no direct trains run from Zagreb to Venice. However, you can catch an indirect service, covering a total distance of around 187 miles. This is also the most scenic way to travel between the cities.
OBB operates the most convenient service, where you only have to transfer once in Villach, Austria. You can also opt for a mix of Slovenian railways and Trenitalia, switching to Ljubljana and Trieste before arriving at Venice Santa Lucia station. Remember to research the times and book 30 days before you depart for the lowest fares.
Daytrip's private door-to-door service is the fastest, most comfortable, and most convenient way to transfer from Zagreb to Venice. We will sweep you off your feet at your accommodation and bring you to Venice in a comfortable vehicle in just over 4 hours. Whether you need help with luggage or information about Italy, your English-speaking driver will be more than happy to assist you. And if your accommodation is in the center of Venice, your driver will bring you to the water bus station at Piazzale Roma.
Yes, you can sit back, relax, and watch the stunning views unfold from your window, but why not turn your journey into an adventure? You can roam the Disney-like streets of Ljubljana, shop until you drop at Palmanova Outlet shopping village, or visit Gorizia, a small city most travelers overlook!
Seats from: €86

Things to do when you get to Venice
The 30 million visitors, eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and one surreal city should give you an insight into the abundance of things to do after driving from Zagreb to Venice. Put these attractions on your travel schedule to take advantage of the highlights!
Bask in the beauty of St. Mark's Square
St. Mark's Square was Europe's center of culture and entertainment for centuries. Today, St. Mark's Basilica dominates the area and is a masterpiece of Byzantine architecture, symbolizing Venice's wealth and power during the height of the Republic.
Intricate mosaics, marble columns, and stunning artwork decorate the interior. But remember to ascend to the balcony for a breathtaking view of Piazza San Marco and the surrounding cityscape.
Cross the Rialto Bridge
The Rialto Bridge is the first permanent structure to cross the awe-inspiring Grand Canal. It dates back to 1588, but it's still only one of four that cross the city's primary waterway today.
Here, you can catch iconic canal views wedged between floating buildings. Once you've finished snapping up pictures for social media, head to the cozy stores lining the bridge to pick up a handmade souvenir.
Take a gondola ride
The gondola is a mark of Venice, bedded deep in its past. Although travelers mainly use the boat for touring the city, it was once the most favored mode of transportation for locals.
Today, you can opt for a shared gondola ride and save some cash. Or you can hire a private boat to weave through its labyrinth of canals, viewing sights lit up at night, such as Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs, and the Peggy Guggenheim Collection.
When is the best time to visit Venice?
The Floating City is a mesmerizing spectacle, no matter when you travel from Zagreb to Venice. But due to the popularity among visitors, the shoulder seasons, aka spring and fall, are the best time to visit Venice.
Venice in Spring
Spring in Venice lasts from mid-March to mid-June. The average daily temperature is 74° Fahrenheit, which is perfect weather for exploring the canals, though it gets considerable water towards the end of this period.
In spring, the maze of narrow paths bursts into life as the blooming flowers hang from buildings. It's arguably the most beautiful time to explore Venice, and you have enough personal space, unlike in the summer.
Venice in the Fall
In the fall, temperatures start to cool, which is more pleasant for immersing yourself in the platter of cultural activities and tours. However, the air is still warm. So you can enjoy an Aperol spritz on one of the many outdoor terraces, even at night.
October to November is also the best time to visit for value for money. Expensive hotels offer affordable prices to fill empty rooms after the summer.
Preguntas y Respuestas sobre Viajar de Zagreb a Venice
If you’re able to, plan to stay at least 2-4 days in Venice. While you can see St. Mark’s Basilica and ride a gondola in an afternoon, you owe it to yourself to have enough time to visit more of the many palaces and museums, explore the side streets and tiny canals, and feast on the delicious seafood-based cuisine.

As of 2024, no direct flights are operating from Zagreb to Venice. However, you can opt for an indirect flight between the cities.

“We cannot speak more highly of Day trip!
although as a customer you may think at first glance that it is expensive,
when you take into consideration flights it is competitive, except the time
spent in airports is actually time seeing the country side
we would highly reccomend
Zagreb to Venice
Tomislav was great value, He was thoughtful and welcoming. Tomislav was
prepared to go out of his way to help us with our missing baggage, We
enjoyed this ride and cannot speak highly enough about Tomislav
Zadar to Zagreb
Milan the gentle giant he had it tough as the day we had to drive, high
winds prevented us from going over the bridges so he had to take the long
way around. Not once did Milan say well that's it we need to head back, he
tried several routes until he found the right one. although it was longer
and would delay our trip to Pltvice lakes, milan rang ahead and asked that
the national park would hold our booking open”
“Our Daytrip experience was much like those of other patrons: flawless. My daughter and I traveled from Venice to Zagreb with a lunch stop in Ljubljana.
In a "small world" moment, we found out that our driver, Ivan, is a graduate of the same university where I work, and we knew a few people in common. Ivan explained a bit about the Daytrip business model and how they go to great lengths to vet their drivers, but also only hire once they are confident that they will have enough work for the driver.
Daytrip is an excellent choice for travel between underserved city connections (e.g., Venice-Zagreb was either three trains, two flights, or one long bus trip - all of which would have taken twice as long as driving), or for travelers who like the convenience of door-to-door connections while driving with friendly, competent professionals.”
“My wife and I recently used Daytrip to travel from Zagreb to Venice, and it was thoroughly enjoyable! Our driver, Dejan, was very professional — on time, friendly, helpful, and his car was comfortable and well maintained. The online booking experience with Daytrip from our home in the US was easy and we received regular updates from the company. We are recommending Daytrip to our friends who travel in Europe.”
“After renting a van, and driving all over Italy, it was so nice to have a private driver to take us from Venice to Zagreb. Our driver, Daniel S., was early, professional and knowledgeable and answered all our questions. There were 6 of us, and the van had enough room for our luggage. The only thing that was a bit of a problem was that we selected a side trip to the skocjan caves, and we were unable to see the inside of the caves, due to the timing of the tours and our arrival; I'd advise to check to website for the places you wish to stop to be aware of scheduling issues. Daniel did walk us into Llubjana and get us started, which was really nice.”
