Getting there - By plane
Maria81 profile photo
Maria81 373 reviews

The quickest way is by plane - we ourselves flew in from London, and there were also flights from Germany, Italy, as well as a number of internal destinations. The airport is small and efficient, all the procedures like passport control, luggage, car rental, etc. took us a maximum of 30 minutes (even though the flight was full).

From abroad, the destination is served mostly by no-frills carriers (Ryanair, mostly), so something to keep in mind if comfort and space are an absolute must. That said, we found the flight decent for a no-frills, and the plane/service/etc. reasonable. Above all, it was on time.

Given the cramped space for boarding, would definitelt recommend investing into a priority queue ticket (10GBP per person for a return flight for us)

There is a special service by two individuals that take you from the wall side to the harbor on the north side in order for you to cut off maybe 5-7 minutes walking to the bridge over the canal. It costs $2 each and takes maybe 5 minutes to get to the other side. It is a tradition for these guys to haul passengers in a small row boat.

Buses Are the Easy Way to Go

Ticket for bus

It is said by the locals to take to bus to the old town rather than drive around for a long time looking for parking. That all depends, but they do seem to run every 20-30 minutes, and the cost is not outrageous. It costs $1.65 each for one way ticket, and about $3 for round trip if you buy when boarding. If you buy at the station, then the prices are down about 20%. Get the ticket time stamped to avoid a fine of a lot of money.

Autostrada A1 is Expensive

Regardless of the thought of getting someplace faster by using the 4 lane highway, it costs 10 cents a mile. So go 100 miles, and you pay $10. That is steep. Besides that, it costs $6 to go through the 3 mile tunnel to get on the A1 highway. A rip off, I think, especially since they have been working on building a highway system for 20 years, and maybe 2/3 done.

Parking along the canal side by bridge

There are a few designated places to park; one is right next to the bridge going over to the old town. That may be the most reasonable place because of the location close to the town, and charge not too bad at 7 kuna an hour, or around $1.50. A bit further away you may find a spot along the water edge for 6 kuna; $1.25

Croatia Transfers, Taxi Zadar, Book taxi online

Croatia transfers by Johnnie - Taxi Zadar is an unregular taxi company that offers you all kinds of ground transportation. Its by some reviews The most popular online taxi booking company in Croatia. With Johnnie's Taxi Transfers you can book any kind of shared shuttle service or regular airport transfers from Zadar airport (Split airport as well). You can get an organised tour/excursion for a lower fee then with any travel agency because Johnnie will tell you where to go and if you need a tour quide or not. The more people you are the cheaper the transportation or transfer will be. Even if you book an airport transfer, you can be sure he will be waiting for you. Dont take the risk with the local taxis bacuse they will rip you off.
my recommendation contact him directly because he is online per pda or something and he answers very fast. If its preseason (April) he gives a discount as well ;) you just need to ask dont wait for him to offer it to you :)))

Bus to Plitvice Lakes

2.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

croatia2006 61 reviews

Zadar is good place to start Your bustrip to Plitvice Lakes. It took under 3 hours by bus, but be aware there are not too many departures daily (July 2006 only two in the morning) and buses can be quite booked up (coming from Split - if You start from Split, You have to wake up very early, the departures from Zadar were around 9 am).

Bus station in Zadar is about 15 minutes walk from the town centre; or You can take a local bus (number 5).

Station is next to street called Ante Starcevica.

Take the shuttle boat

In the high season, parking around the old Zadar city is always difficult. We made several turns but failed to find any parking space.

We felt we should look for a hotel and come back to the old city either by foot or by bus.

Actually, we found an excellent hotel and restaurant at Puntamika, a bit far to walk. The big luck was that there was a shuttle boat every other hour that sailed 200 m from the hotel and that lead directly on the pier of the old city (see my hotel tip).
