Zagreb to Venice

So i want to go from Zagreb to Venice on the 26 of November
What is the best and cheapest way to do so ??
Do i need to go through Trieste ??
Is there a bus straight from Zagreb to Venice and if so is it expensive ???
Or should i take the train ??
Or maybe a bus to Trieste and then a train to Venice ???
Any help would be much obliged :)

Train to Ljubljana. Bus to Venice.

Take an early train to Ljubljana (2 hours 40 minutes):

There is a direct bus from the Ljubljana bus station (Ljubljana Avtobusna Postaja, which is outside the central railway station) to a number of destinations in Venice (in Slovene: 'Benetke' so look for that in the bus timetable). Stops include Venice Marco Polo airport, and the Venice Mestre railway station. The service departs at 11:30 and takes four hours. Buy your ticket at the bus station, and find the timetable here:

If you miss the direct bus, or it is full, take a bus to Trieste (look for 'Trst' in Slovenian) and take the train from there.

I think there is also a direct bus all the way.

That may be the cheapest option...

Trains to Venice via Ljubljana & Budapest too.
Flights also available & the fares depend on dep. time & route taken.
Ever so many choices & easy.

the train site you posted doesnt have the route from zagreb to ljubliana :/ ......

You could check at the station in Zagreb the night before departure. Or use the ever-reliable http://www.bahn.de/p_en/view/index.shtml

Yes, you're right. Now that I've looked into it: one-way ticket for EUR 33, departures six days a week at 08:00, travel time is six hours.

Adding: Ah, I see also that the same bus advice was given in the OP's thread in the other branch. So presumably that has worked itself out.
