Getting around
Croatia is relatively small, making it easy to get around. Trains are extremely limited, so the most popular ways of getting around the country are by car or bus.
Renting a car is the best option if you’re looking for more flexibility in exploring the country. The roads in Croatia are safe and in good condition. (Search for a rental car here.)
The bus is another good option. Buses in Croatia are affordable and comfortable. They are good for getting around most of the country aside from the islands (which require taking a car or ferry). The main bus companies in Croatia are Autotrans, Croatia Bus, and Cazmatrans.
