Traveling around Croatia

By bus

Croatia is well served by buses, with a widespread network snaking across the country linking cities, towns and coastline. Buses between cities are very frequent and reasonably priced, with the main terminal being the Bus Terminal Zagreb (Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb) in Zagreb. For some examples of prices, a nine hour bus from Zagreb down to Dubrovnik will cost around 220 kn, while a three hour bus from Split to Zadar will cost around 100 kn.

By train

Like the buses, trains in Croatia offer good connections between cities and are relatively frequent, although they tend to be more inland than around the coast. For example, to get to Dubrovnik by train, you’d need to get a train to Split and a bus the rest of the way (for around 100 kn), taking around four hours. Zagreb is the central train hub in Croatia, and a train from there to Split will cost you around 170 kn and take six hours. A four hour train to Rijeka from Zagreb will cost around 100 kn.

By taxi

Taxi prices start at around 23 kn, and are around 5kn for every km.
