We read quite a bit about this short crossing through Bosnia. From the need for visa, to be waived through. We thought to give it a shot without getting a visa. And the best case scenario was true and we have been waived through. This happened at all 4 crossing points.
We figured that an easy way to go around is via car. We rented it straight from the airport. Picking up and returning was very easy and they didn't really care about the state you returned the car.All major rental companies have an office at the airport. Booking in advance might get you a discount.
If you're planning to drive in Croatia, make a note of the following numbers and take them with you -987: HAK, for emergency road help. This is the local motorist's association - the equivalent of the AA or the RAC. They have English speaking operators.92: Police. It is essential to report any accident to the police, and especially important if there is an insurance claim to be made.94: Ambulance
Yes, you can certainly get around Croatia using only public transport - in the case of Dalmatia that means buses and ferries- there's no rail service south of Split. If you're planning to spend all or most of your time in one of the historic old cities such as Split or Dubrovnik, you may well be better off doing this, especially in high summer - parking can be a nightmare. Similarly, if you're coming mainly to laze on a beach with a minimal amount of sightseeing, the expense of a car almost certainly isn't warranted.However, having a car means you can really get out and about. With the exception of Serbia, hire cars can generally be taken across borders to each of the countries that made up the old Yugoslavia, making a side trip to somewhere like Montenegro or Hercegovina an easy proposition. Similarly, if you want to really explore an island or two, you'll need your own wheels, the...
With all those islands you would expect the ferry services in Croatia to be efficient and they certainly are. Reasonable charges too. We've used Jadrolinija's car ferries from Split to Brac and to Hvar (1 and a half to 2 hours) and also from Sumartin on Brac to Makarska (30 minutes) - 60km south-east of Split. Ticket prices vary according to the length of the voyage. There's no discount for return tickets.With just a few exceptions, Jadrolinija's local ferries cannot be booked in advance. Tickets for both car ferries and high speed passenger services can only be bought ON THE DAY. The website given here is very good, use it to check times, fares, etc for all Jadrolinija's services - local and international.During high summer the service runs pretty well right around the clock with the last ferries for the main ports going at about 1am and the first one of the day setting sail at 6am. You...
When booking online I always found that Croatia tends to be excluded as it is outside the European Union. This website below has advice of traveling to Croatia from Italy by car which I have done, I guess from Slovenia the advice is similar. It advises to contact local offices to help rather than head offices or websites. My real recommendation is go to the people who can find out the information - a travel agent (remember those VTers!!!). When booking for my Italy to Croatia trip I booked my car via a travel agent at home who was able to speak to the car hire offices to get the correct information.http://www.visit-croatia.co.uk/travellingaround/italy.htm
crossing Italy to Croatia and back can be very busy. I've travelled through this and oficially they check passports as you leave one country and then 100 metres later when you enter the next. If it is busy they may wave you through without checking, by this time you will be fed up of queuing anway. All roads between the countries - Slovenia, Croatia, Italy have border crossings (there appear to be a lot of them near Trieste) so I don't think you will stray from one country to another accidently just don't forget your passport.
I rented a car in Riejka to drive to Zagreb, about 2+ hrs. While it was fast and convenient, It was a waste of money and completely unnecessary. Also, the road to zagreb was a toll road, not many cars on it, and somewhat expensive, around $10, i think. The Bus and train systems are. fine if you are going to popular locations
Split+Zagreb Motorway is excellent road it is easy to drivebut there are 6 or 7 tunnel.One tunnel is about 6km.2lines.one tunnel is 2km.Split is at the sea level but Zagreb is not.you are climabing to higg.Ans climate is changing.mediterranen climate becaming central european climate.Plitvice lakes just only place to visit I recommend.
There are more buses than trains running between Zagreb and Dubrovnik stopping at Split, but the train can be a little more comfortable. We got the train from Split to Zagreb. Sometimes it felt like you were flying over mountaintops as you pass over some very high ground going from one mountain to the next by bridges suspended in the air!Here is the timetables and the website for Hr trains.Zagreb-Split (depart-arrive)06:50-12:1811:05-16:3315:22-20:4722:57-06:54Split-Zagreb07:40-13:1010:48-16:1715:03-20:3122:20-6:29one way costs 117.60 kuna
