Of all the cities I visited whilst on my Snoozing to Split trip, Zagreb was the one that I had the least time to explore. With my sleeper train from Zurich arriving into the Croatian capital 40 minutes late, I had just four hours to explore, eat and make it back to the station in time for the final train of the day to Split at 1518.
The second sleeper train of Snoozing to Split had brought me to Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland, situated on the Limmat river and the northern end of the Zürichsee (Lake Zuirch). With a previous visit to Zurich under my belt, although a good few years ago, I was looking forward to both seeing the city’s highlights and also perhaps doing a couple of things that were a bit different.
Day two of Snoozing to Split started early as I arrived into Berlin onboard the European Sleeper at just after six in the morning. After an amble around Berlin’s Hauptbahnhof whilst dropping of my bag and having a lazy breakfast at McDonalds (its foreign food if you can’t buy it in the UK right?), it was finally a reasonable hour and time to head into the centre of Germany’s capital.
Having arrived in the Belgian capital onboard a Eurostar service from London, I had just under seven hours in Brussels until I was scheduled to depart onboard the European Sleeper. With Eurostar terminating at Brussels Midi/Zuid, I was a little bit out of the city centre, and so I headed round to the main domestic concourse ready to catch a train to my first stop.
Having arrived at Geneva on an easyJet flight from Luton, and having made sure I didn’t accidently exit the airport into France, my first task was to head into the city itself. With the airport’s underground railway station being the terminus of a number of Switzerland’s intercity railway service, it was easy to catch a train for the short journey into town.
Arriving in Aarhus, the largest city on Denmark’s Jutland peninsula and the country’s second largest city, on a Ryanair flight from Stansted, I headed outside the airport’s shiny new terminal to catch the airport bus into the city.
