Tips to Buy Train Tickets
Prepare in advance to make the most of your Balkan train journey with these key tips for booking your tickets.
  • Check Train Types
    Compare regional and InterCity services to find the best balance of speed and comfort.
  • Window Seat Strategy
    On scenic routes, direction matters. Research which side offers river or mountain views — and select seats accordingly when possible.
  • Choose the Right Class
    Many Balkan trains offer multiple classes, including Economy, First Class, and Sleeper compartments. Pick the one that fits your comfort needs and travel length.
  • Compare Booking Sites
    Domestic railway websites can sometimes offer cheaper fares than international platforms.
  • Look for Discounts
    Weekend passes, group tickets, and regional promotions can save you money.
  • Travel Light if Possible
    Not all trains have large luggage compartments. Keeping baggage minimal makes for easier boarding and more comfortable seating.
  • Seat Reservations Can Be Separate
    In several Balkan countries, a ticket does not automatically include a seat reservation. For busy routes or summer travel, secure both — especially on Friday afternoons and Sundays.
  • Print or Save Your Ticket
    Some stations or trains may not accept mobile QR codes, so it’s smart to carry both a digital and printed copy of your ticket.
