Getting around CroatiaGetting around Croatia and Tourist Guide
Getting around by air: Traveling around Croatia is one of the questions I have been receiving very often. If you enter Croatia by air to Zagreb, you have a lot of regular flights to all important airports along the Croatias coast like Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Pula and to island Brac. Keep in mind that high season (July and August) airfare rates are much higher than the rest of the year. Young people between the ages of 12 to 25 are subject to 25 % of reductions on all domestic flights and to 50 % on international flights. Seniors are also entitled for 50 % discounts. Croatias official carrier is Croatia Airlines. In almost every bigger place you will find their office and they accept all major credit cards. Do not forget that even the cheapest airfare is more expensive compared to buses and trains. For more info about prices and timetable schedule, please visit Croatia Airlines web site. Getting around by bus: Bus service in Croatia is excellent way to travel around Croatia regions and costal towns. So called express buses keep their services several time a day. The biggest bus station (in Croatian Autobuski Kolodvor) is the one in Zagreb. From there you can reach any costal destination in Istria, Kvarner or Dalmatia. The bus ticket price has been calculated per kilometer and sometimes you can pay more for a slow local bus than for an express. The luggage is paid extra by piece including insurance fee. If you want to save a nights accommodation you can use overnight buses but dont expect to get much sleep, as the inside lights will be on and sometimes the loud music will accompany you all the way. Welcome to the new Croatia Bus Web pages. Getting around by train: I have to point out that you will not find any train connections along the coast and only a few towns are connected with Zagreb. For tourists the main lines of interest run from Zagreb to Rijeka and Pula, Zagreb to Zadar, Sibenik and Split, Zagreb to Osjek. Trains in Croatia are slower but less frequent than buses and about 15% cheaper and more comfortable. Trains are either express or passenger (local trains) . The first have 1st and 2nd class seats and booking in advance is advisable.Croatian Railways - searchable Croatian railway network, includes Tickets Price Guide. Croatia’s railway network map! Croatia Car Rental Getting around by ferry: If you arrive in Croatia from the Western Europe and intend to travel towards the south of Adriatic or Dalmatian Islands, good idea is to take ferry at Rijeka on board one of Jadrolinija ferries (Marko Polo, Dubrovnik or Liburnija). Ferries are more comfortable than buses but significantly more expensive. Jadrolinija car ferries run from Rijeka all the way to Dubrovnik (about 22 hours) stopping to Dugi Otok (Long island), Zadar, Split, Island Hvar (Stari Grad), Korcula and Mljet. Jadrolinija local ferry schedules valid from 01. June 2009 to 30. September. It is not advisable to take this big costal ferry for short routes ( for example from Split to Hvar island) because it is much more expensive than taking a local car ferry. (in this example local ferries runs from three to five times a day). Local ferries connect all bigger island with the mainland. Detailed Jadrolinija timetable! Are you looking a way to get from Venice to Croatia? Wouldnt be nice to start in Venice and then take a day or two down the Croatian coast? If you are visiting Italy and you dont have enough time to visit Croatia, I am sure you will be glad about possibility to take the fast ferries that connect Venice to some most beautiful Istria peninsula towns like Umag, Porec, Rovinj, Pula, Rabac and all the way to Losinj island. A new ferry service from Trieste to Istria has finally become a reality. Usitca Lines, Italian ferry company has announced a new ferry route from Trieste to Portoroz (Slovenija), Porec and Rovinj(Istria). This line will operate from April 24 to September 21.
