Getting to Split from the airport


Airport of Split is 25 km away from the city center. To get to the city center, you can take a taxi, but ten times cheaper is the official airport shuttle bus operated by Croatia Airlines, which is very comfortable and costs 30 HRK (about 5 Eur) and gets you without stops directly to the city center in about 25 minutes. This bus is parked on the right side of the airport building, and you will see it immediately after you exit the building. Buses leave shortly after each airport arrival.


Alternatively, there is an airport in Zadar (http://www.zadar-airport.hr/en/), which is served by Germanwings, Ryanair and Danube wings. If you decide to fly to Zadar, you can take the airport bus to get to the bus station for long-distance buses in Zadar, and take another bus from there to Split – drive from Zadar to Split is about 2 hours long.

Public transport


Split has bus lines numbered from 1 to 19. Day buses 1 through 18 run from 05:00 to 23:00. There is a single night bus, number 19, which runs on Fridays and Saturdays. Maps and schedules for each line can be found at their respective stops. Tickets can be purchased on the bus for 10kn or from kiosks near each bus stop for 8kn.

 

The company that operate Split's buses is called Promet Split, so make sure the kiosk has that name on it before trying to buy a ticket. Split is covered by a single bus zone, so a ticket is good for one trip anywhere in the city. Sukoišanska (D-2) is the main station from which you can catch buses for Trogir, Omiš, the airport and other destinations outside of Split. Sukoišanska's ticket office operates from 06:00 to 20:00 on weekdays, 06:00 to 12:00 on Saturdays and is closed on Sunday. To contact the Sukoišanska station, dial 48 06 56. For general information regarding bus services, call 40 79 99.
