An exciting new sleeper train route is set to connect five European countries in a journey spanning more than 700 miles.
Leaving from Warsaw in Poland, the train will carry passengers through Czechia, Austria and Slovenia all the way to Rijeka in Croatia.
The Warsaw-Rijeka train is set to launch on Friday June 27 and run throughout the summer until the end of August.
Trains will leave Warsaw at 2pm and arrive in Rijeka at around 9am the next day but it will stop several times along the way.
The sleeper is set to stop at Opoczno, Katowice, Rybnik and Chalupki in Poland, Vienna in Austria, Ljubljana and Postojna in Slovenia and Opatija in Croatia.
Passengers can expect to enjoy some spectacular scenery along the 19-hour train journey.
Although the new route is pretty lengthy, it’s set to make the journey much easier for those travelling from Poland to Croatia.
Currently passengers need to change train three times with stops in Breclav, Graz and Zagreb.

And it’s set to be a pretty comfortable journey.
The carriages are fully air-conditioned and there’ll be a dining car serving hot food between Warsaw and Vienna.
Those looking to travel in comfort can also pay for a bed in one of the couchette cars where sheets are provided.
The journey is pretty affordable too with prices set to start from around 200 Polish zloty (£39.82).

Eurostar has announced plans to launch direct services from London to Geneva and Frankfurt.
The new train routes are planned for the early 2030s and will depend on Eurostar getting a fleet of 50 new trains.
Eurostar has said it expects to see strong demand from passengers travelling on both routes.
CEO Gwendoline Cazenave says: ‘We’re seeing strong demand for train travel across Europe, with customers wanting to go further by rail than ever before and enjoy the unique experience we provide.’
