Travel Tips
Choose Your Transport Wisely**: While flying is the fastest option, itβs often not the most practical due to airport transfers and limited flights. The bus is a popular choice, offering scenic views along the coastal road. If you prefer flexibility, consider renting a car for a more personalized journey.
Book in Advance**: If you opt for the bus, book your tickets online in advance, especially during the peak tourist season (June to September), to secure your seat. For car rentals, book early to ensure availability and better rates.
Timing is Key**: The bus journey takes approximately 4-5 hours, while driving can be similar but depends on stops along the way. Factor in time for breaks and any potential delays, especially during summer months when traffic can be heavy.
Luggage Considerations**: If traveling by bus or train, keep your luggage manageable as there may be limited space for larger bags. For car rentals, ensure you have enough space for your belongings, and check the rental agreement for mileage limits if planning a longer trip.
Border Crossing Notes**: While both Dubrovnik and Split are within Croatia, be aware that if you're traveling from Dubrovnik to Split via Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Neum Corridor), youβll need to carry a valid passport and be prepared for border checks. Always check current travel regulations and border conditions before your journey.
Transport Options
Traveling from Dubrovnik to Split offers several convenient transportation options. The most popular choice is the bus, which takes about 4.5 to 5 hours and provides a scenic route along the Dalmatian coast, making it ideal for budget travelers and those wanting to enjoy the views. If you're looking for speed, flights are available and take around 1 hour, but factoring in airport transfers and waiting times, it may not save much time. Driving a car can take approximately 3 to 4 hours, offering flexibility for those wishing to explore along the way. Unfortunately, there is no direct train service for this route. Overall, the bus is recommended for a balance of cost, comfort, and scenery.
