There is a railway network connecting all major Croatian cities except Dubrovnik. There are direct lines to Slovenia, Hungary, Italy, Austria, Switzerland, Slovakia, France, Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Serbia & Montenegro. There are indirect lines to almost all other European countries.
The travel time from, for example, Munich to Rijeka, is about 9 hours and to Pula 13 hours. Count on about 5 hours for trains from Vienna.
The types of train services that operate in Croatia are the following: EuroCity (EC), InterCity (IC), express (Ex), fast (B), local and accelerated trains.
There are regular international buses connecting Croatia with Austria, Italy, Hungary, France, Germany, the Slovak Republic and Bosnia and Herzegovina. The cheapest way to travel to Croatia from central Europe is by bus, and it is not as uncomfortable as it might seem.
Croatia itself has a good national bus network that will take you to any part of the country, even to the smallest village.
Coming from central Europe, you can reach some of the coast destinations faster by car than by train. During the summer months traffic at the borders is a bit heavier, and that can cause some delay. The main routes into Slovenia and Croatia are via the Tauern Highway (Autobahn) A 10. Austria's Autobahn is not free of charge anymore. You can pick up the Pickerl (officially Autobahnvignette) at the Austrian border or at gas stations or automobile club offices in all countries bordering on Austria. To enter and drive in Croatia, you will require a green insurance card and valid national or international driving permit.
Fuel: Petrol stations in big towns and cities as well as on important roads are open non-stop, otherwise the working hours are from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Lead-free petrol is available on all petrol stations and it is called “bezolovni” in Croatian (green label). In July and August news and traffic information are broadcast in English and German regularly on main Croatian broadcast stations. A toll is paid on motorways.
Regulations: Traffic drives on the right. Speed limits are 130kph (81mph) on motorways, 100kph (62mph) on dual carriageways, 50kph (31mph) in settlements, and 80kph (50mph) otherwise. The amount of the fine depends on the extent of the infraction committed. Blood alcohol limit is 0.0 ‰.
