Choosing your journey
A coach can suit a shorter daytime journey. Rail is a longer alternative through Slovenia and Austria; compare the full arrival plan rather than only the time between stations.

Pick the Vienna arrival you need
Coaches can use Erdberg or another stop shown on the ticket. Trains use Wien Hbf. Neither is the airport, and both need local travel for many accommodation addresses. Search your room's address before treating one arrival as more convenient.
For rail, allow roughly six and a half hours on a suitable departure and check any changes for the date. The listed coach journey is often shorter, with traffic and stops affecting the result. ÖBB planner, Coach departures.
Prepare for a longer ride
Buy lunch and water before boarding. Compare luggage rules and ticket flexibility, especially if you are arriving in Zagreb from elsewhere first. Keep travel documents accessible for checks along the route.
A separately booked flight from Vienna needs its own airport journey and a generous buffer. Do not confuse a ticket to Vienna with a through airport transfer.
Start Vienna close to the room
A walk, dinner and a clear plan for the next morning are enough after the journey. Save the palace or a museum with timed entry for a day you can start comfortably. Check the city-ticket choice against your actual journeys. Vienna guide.
