Bus tickets to Croatia | Tickets & Prices

Although there are trains in Croatia, the network is not as extensive as it is in other countries, with limited coverage around coastal areas in particular. As a result, many locals and tourists choose to take the bus. Coach services will take you where you need to go, with connections between all major towns and cities. There are also regional buses in those towns and cities to provide travelers with a cheaper and more eco-friendly alternative to taking a taxi or renting a car.

Bus travel tips for Croatia

The following Croatian bus travel tips will help to ensure you have a safe and enjoyable trip when using buses in Croatia.

• Learn the routes: There is a good chance you’ll encounter an English-speaking bus driver on intercity buses, but the same can’t be said for regional buses. It’s best, therefore, to check the routes before you board and ensure you are familiar with them and know when to disembark.
• Refreshments: Take some drinks and snacks with you when traveling on longer routes. You may be able to buy some refreshments at the bus station or nearby shops, but there’s not always an option available.
• Get there early: Arrive at the bus station at least 15 minutes before you are due to depart. It can take some time to board the bus, but getting there early will ensure you’re not caught short if you have an issue finding the station or getting there.
• Seat allocation: Seats often have numbers on them and you will be allocated one of these numbers on your bus ticket. However, passengers don’t always abide by these rules and you may find someone else in your seat. You can politely ask them to move or just take another seat.
• Book with Omio: To buy a cheap bus ticket to Croatia, stick with Omio. Our system works by comparing routes from major providers, showing you the cheapest options and letting you book directly through our secure platform.
