Croatia » Getting to Zagreb

Approximate flight time from London to Zagreb is 2 hours 30 minutes.

By Air

There are international airports in Zagreb, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik and Rijeka. Recently, Osijek airport in Slavonia has been renovated for regional traffic. It is also being considered to revitalise Pula airport (Istria) as a destination for low cost airlines.

Currently, the following low cost airlines flying to Croatia are: Sky Europe, EasyJet, Flyglobespan, Germanwings, Hapag-Lloyd Express (HLX), and Wizz Air. The major established companies that fly to Croatia are the domestic Croatia Airlines (now a regional member of the Star Alliance), Lufthansa and British Airways. In the near future, an intercontinental link between Zagreb and North America will be reintroduced.

By Train

There are several major railway routes in the country:

• from Zagreb to Vinkovci (and on to Belgrade, Serbia)

• from Zagreb to Osijek via Koprivnica

• from Zagreb to Rijeka from Zagreb to Split

There are also other routes to Slovenia, Hungary, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Serbia.

By Bus

Buses represent the most-accepted, cheapest and widely-used means of public transport. National bus traffic is very well developed and it is very easy to reach even the remotest parts of Croatia by bus. Almost all buses on national routes are air-conditioned and offer pleasant travelling comfort. In practice, bus fares are being collected on the bus while travelling, which is sometimes even cheaper than when paying at the ticket office (there is an additional fee for stored luggage). From Croatia, there are many international bus routes to the neighbouring countries (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.), as well as to Austria, Germany, Switzerland and to other European countries.
