VERY useful virtual map of Croatia

by 7_seconds

This is a very useful map since it has various important information for example: traffic (web cams, weather forecast, petrol stations sorted by name of the company and type of fuel they have, parking places, rent-a-car, airports, police...)banks and cash machines (location, sorted by company)tourism (location: national parks, parks of nature, tourist boards, lighthouses, UNESCO protected locations..)medical help (location: hospitals, emergencies..)....Also, there is a road duration and expenses calculation, depending on vehicle category, fuel consumption, destination..I use this map mostly because of webcams to see possible traffic jams or road conditions, and current paytoll prices on the highway. The rest is quite useful, but the info is not complete (for example, listed bank locations only refer to bigger offices, not their smaller offices which are all over country)

Zagreb Airport to Zagreb downtown transportation

by gezifesto

The distance from the Zagreb airport to Zagreb downtown, namely, the bus station (Autobusni Kolodvor) is not so far. The shuttle bus is 30 Kuna's per person and it takes you from the airport straight to the bus station in about 10 minutes.

bus transport

by MichaelFalk1969

Croatia - especially Dalmatia - has a very efficient bus system, so a rental car is not really necessary. It is easily possible to check bus time tables on the internet with the major croation transport operators. When traveling to and from Dubrovnik, take your passport with you, as you will cross the border to Bosnia twice (Neum).

Getting there....

by LindaFry

Use the car ferries that travel the Croatian coastline to get to the main towns along the coast. Croatia is very mountainous and the mountain range runs parallel to the coast. All the villages are tucked in under the mountains along the coastline. From the ferry you get to see some stunning scenery and islands along the way and from a perspective that you do not have when travelling on land. The ferries are also very cheap and relaxing way to travel. They have fully licenced bars and restaurants on board.

Getting there....

If you are travelling to Croatia from Italy there are a number of overnight car ferries eg Bari (Italy) to Dubrovnik. Bari is not the most exciting place to be but arriving in Dubrovnik in the morning makes it all worthwhile.There is a good hotel right opposite the ferry terminal in Dubrovnik and not far from the historical part of Dubrovnik.Be aware though, that if you have hired a car in Italy you can not take it into Croatia via the car ferry. They do not stop you on the Italian side but you will not be able to disembark on the Croatian side and you will have to return to Italy.

Dalamtia by ferry and local bus

by KristaB

Local buses and ferry lines are cheap and conveninet way to explore Croatian coastline. They are reliable and durng peak season when ports get congested, local short-route ferries sail without sticking to their schedule, because they try not to leave anyone stranded overnight in a ferry port.A great and cost effective way to have your little cruise of South Dalmatian islands is to use local ferry line between Split and Dubrovnik, but since this ferry doesn't sail every day, check the schedule carefully! http://www.jadrolinija.hr/pdfs/ENG.%20COASTAL%20LINE%202011.pdfAside from this connection, you can use short local lines and combine them with local buses. Jadrolinija has most of local ferry lines, but you can also find some convenient connections with these...

Croatian trains

by holmanh

Info for Croatian trains can be found on the Hrvatske Zeljeznice website: http://hznet.hr, but it's only in Croatian. If you put in the departure city (Split) in the "od" (meaning "from") box and the arrival city (Zagreb or Budapest) in the "do" (meaning "to") box, and click "upit", it will bring up a box with drop-down menus of the cities that you can select. When choosing the Zagreb station, make sure you select "Zagreb Gl. Kol." (this means "Glavni Kolodvor" - "main station"), which is the station from which you will have the most options for conections. Choose your date in the box labeled "datum" (note that they only show results for about 2 months ahead) and then click the button labeled "Prikazi vlakove ..." The result page will show you all the times that the train runs and the times it arrives in cities along the route. The HZ website doesn't list prices, so you'll just have to...

Getting there by car

by sabsi

If you want to drive to Croatia from Germany or around there you have to choices: The route via Innsbruck - Villach - Ljubljana or then the route via Graz and Maribor. We took latter route on the way there and the other one on the way back. Even though the Graz route is a bit longer it's my preferred route I think. We even left the motorway for quite a long time to take the scenic route from Salzburg via St. Wolfgang and its lakes towards Graz. Roads were almost empty the closer we got to Slovenia. Plus we already saw the new motorway connecting the border of Slovenia with Zagreb, it should be opened sometimes soon which makes this route even quicker. Plus on the Graz route you can stop in Graz for a lovely Steiermark lunch like we did. That was tasty! Another advantage is that on this route there's only one long tunnel instead of three on the other route. Saves you money and nerves...
