| General: | The bus situation in Split can be quite confusing. The long distance inter-city buses run from the bus station between the ferry terminal and the railway station. It is about a 10 min walk from the city centre, heading SE. The local bus stan(for bus #37 to the airport & Trogir runs from the local bus station on Ulica Domovinskog Rata, about 10-15 mins walk N of the centre. To make matters more confusing, the Croatia Airlines bus runs to yet another stop, closer to the city centre. It is at Obala Lazareta, and is on the sea front, at the start of the road towards the ferry terminal. |
| Croatia Airlines Bus to Split: | Runs from right outside the terminal to Obala Lazareta (see above). It departs shortly after flight arrivals and takes 30-40 mins. There are no stops en-route. Cost HRK 30. Children under 6 free. Buses depart the city 90 mins before the departures of Scheduled Croatia Airlines flights. However, I arrived on another airline and a bus still met that flight. For further info contact (+385-21) 203-305, 203-338 or 203-119. The problem with using this service to get TO the airport is that unless you are flying with Croatia Airlines, you have no way of knowing when the buses leave. It is possible buses run in accordance with other airlines' flights. |
| Local Bus #37 to Split: | Local bus #37 goes to Trogir Bus Station in one direction and to the local bus station (on Domovinskog, see above) and Split in the other. There are many stops along the way including the Ancient Roman Amphitheatre at Salona. The airport bus stop for this service is not outside the terminal. Cross the car park outside and head for the main road (about 200m). For Trogir use the stop on that side and for Split cross over.
