Train connections inside Croatia are not so frequent.There is a direct train to Munich.Also Budapest and Vienna have one connection.Slovenia and Serbia have also a few connections.But busses are much better.
There are more islands dotted along the Croatian Adriatic coast than there are Greek Islands and one of the best modes of transport is ferry. For a great site listing all ferries to and from Croatia along with availability and costs look at……http://uk.geocities.com/my_ferries/croatia.htmlWARNING in Croatia some ferry stops are unbelievably quick. We were approaching Hvar and the ferry stopped for less time than Michael Schumacher would have and we had to do a round trip to Velaloka and back (4hrs) along with ten other tourists that were surprised by the quick stop. So get ready to disembark before you get to the port like the locals do.
There are eight international airports in Croatia. Their websites have useful info, like flight schedules, lists of air companies (including charters), car rental companies and buses to town centers. ZAGREB (ZAG) www.zagreb-airport.hr Although the airport building will evoke the feel of the communist 1950s, this is Croatia Airlines' main hub and still the main gateway to Croatia. DUBROVNIK (DBV), www.airport-dubrovnik.hr Modern airport building was re-built after the old one was totally destroyed in the war and is now one of the most modern airports in Croatia. SPLIT (SPU) www.split-airport.hr In continuous reconstruction during the last several years, set in a beautiful environment of olive trees, closer to Trogir than to Split. ZADAR (ZAD) www.zadar-airport.hr Also totally destroyed in war, and now reconstructed it is unique since their runway crosses the state road which is closed...
If you're traveling around the Croatian coast, there is a very high chance you'll end up on one of these ferries. They are a very popular way of getting both cars and people from place to place around the many islands dotting the coastline.The ferry schedule is a bit tricky to understand, and you really have to plan ahead if your time is limited and you want to be sure of getting from point A to point B. For instance, the boats don't always run every day, the summer schedule is different from the rest of the year's, and many ferry ticket offices are only open a few hours each day. This is one of the few aspects of travel in Croatia that you can't just leave until the last minute!Ferry travel is complicated further if you have a car. Not all ferries take cars, cars can't get off at intermediate stops on ferry routes, and cars require reservations to ensure that they get a spot. Be careful...
We rented a car from National Rent-A-Car in Dubrovnik and returned it in Zagreb. It was very easy to arrange this one-way rental via the Internet, and the price was quite reasonable for Europe. There was a nice discount offered for Internet bookings.Picking up the car in Dubrovnik turned out to be a little tricky. We arrived at the office around 11 AM, only to find that the car we'd reserved was still out with the previous renter. It took a couple of hours to get it picked up from the airport and delivered back to the city office in Dubrovnik. During this time, we drank a lot more coffee and wandered around the marina neighborhood, which wasn't too much of a hardship. When the car finally turned up, it took another half-hour for the office staff to figure out the paperwork. It didn't seem like they'd been on the job too long. I hope that this situation improves soon!Dropping off the car...
From mid June until end of August, try to avoid driving through Croatia from Friday late afternoon until Saturday evening. Roads are very crowded, despite new road sections being built and some already opened for traffic, it is still very stressful and time consuming. However, you shouldn't worry about catching local ferry lines, because during such high traffic peaks, they operate regardless of the Time Table, until all passengers get transferred.
