Already 20 000 tourists bought a ticket for a Czech train to Croatia

It looks like the Czechs will visit the Adriatic in large numbers again as more than 20,000 tourists have already bought a ticket for the famous train.

Over 20,000 Czechs have already bought a ticket for the famous Czech yellow train RegioJet, which will start bringing the first passengers to the Adriatic coast on May 28. Unlike last year, when the Czechs had the opportunity to travel exclusively to Rijeka by train, this year a line was introduced to Split, and the train will pass through Zagreb and Budapest.

As RegioJet says, the interest for all their lines, including the one towards Croatia, is growing by 25% from week to week and already this week they reached the number of passengers they had only in mid-September last year. Accordingly, the railway operator believes in the continuation of good traffic.
