If you`re going to a Dubrovnik city tour and you don`t have an accommodation, we strongly recommend that you use this wardrobe to get rid of your suitcases just for a while.

Apart from Zagreb, Dubrovnik is well connected by bus lines to the whole range of cities in Croatia and beyond. Therefore, if you are considering new destination, you can go visit some of the following: Metkovic, Opuzen, Ploce, Makarska, Split, Zadar, Pula, Rijeka and Osijek.

Except in the case of seasonal crowds, but even then the traffic that is largely run by highway passes without significant difficulties with little additional patience of drivers and other traffic participants.

Zagreb bus station

Dubrovnik - Zagreb bus operators information

The buses running on the Dubrovnik - Zagreb route are modern equipped. In general, Croatia seeks to follow international trends in this segment. Therefore, the conditions in which you travel will surely meet your needs, and the ride will be enjoyable. Specifically, this means that buses have: air conditioning, TV and WiFi.

Don't rely too much on the latter as the signal is often congested due to the large number of passengers simultaneously attempting to surf, but also because of a generally lower signal on the bus.

If you've already been driving in a bus which was offering this service, we're sure you know what we think. After all, what's even more important than the internet during a trip is definitely that the air conditioner works.

TV is usually imposed as a good option during night-time journeys for which some part of the passengers will definitely want to sleep. Consequently, travelers who choose to stay awake or simply can't sleep during the ride can enjoy the movie.

Why you should travel from Dubrovnik to Zagreb by bus

Between Dubrovnik and Zagreb there is 600 km of road distance, which you pass in around 10 hours. We can certainly agree that this is a long journey, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you won't be comfortable.

Roads to which buses run on their way to Zagreb are safe and modern, and during the time of the travel you can watch the beautiful nature and scenery that alternate in front of you.

You wonder why we think this is an ideal means of transport? Simply because it is one of the safest forms of transportation, and it is also modern equipped and doesn't require any extra care since it is located near the city center. We will therefore now compare the bus with other means of transport: plane, train and personal/rented car.

An airplane ticket is far more expensive than you might expect. Clearly, tickets at a lower cost can be caught if you buy them early enough or, on the other side, during the last minute, but you are not always in a position to schedule your trip depending on it. In addition, should we even emphasize the distance between both airports from the centers of cities where, of course, is your accommodation? Additional expense? Absolutely.

The Dubrovnik - Zagreb link is not completely covered by rail. Namely, since 1976 the train doesn't travel to and from Dubrovnik, so the Ploce is actually the closest point. Furthermore, Ploce is 70 km away from Dubrovnik, so if you decide to travel by train, you have to plan your transport from Dubrovnik to Ploce, from where you can finally get to Zagreb by train.

By car you will travel as long as with a bus. Plus, another advantage of the bus is that you can put things in the trunk and you won't be bothered during the journey. The frame price you will spend on fuel is 65 EUR, and if you don't have a personal car, renting will only be an extra cost. And it's a pretty high extra cost.

Bus stops at the Dubrovnik - Zagreb journey

On the way from Dubrovnik to Zagreb, the bus runs through a number of places and towns. Literally, the whole line.

If you have the time, we definitely recommend that you stop at least in one of these cities. For example: Zadar, Sibenik, Split and Makarska. Choose the one you haven't previously visit. Why? Just because it is difficult to isolate only one or the two cities that deserve your time and attention.

Makarska has a wonderful riviera, close to PP Biokovo, interesting museums such as: Malacological Museum and Archaeological Museum. In addition, there is also the second highest peak of Croatia, St. Juraj, which with its 1762 m height is actually the highest peak of Biokovo.

Split has Diocletian's Palace, Bacvice, Marjan, Klis Fortress and many, many more.
Sea Organ, Greeting to the Sun, Church of St. Donata, the Palace of Knights and the famous Kalelarga street are just some of Zadar's symbols. If you find yourself there, you will be convinced that it's just the beginning of a much wider picture of a much older town.
