Trains to Split

Click for Croatia train map

The train station in Split is conveniently located right next to the bus station and within a kilometre of the ferry port. Although it's not a particularly scenic place to hang out, it is open long hours and there's a left-luggage office.      

Although no international trains to Split bypass Zagreb completely, trains from Budapest, Prague, Belgrade and Vienna make only a stop in Zagreb on their way to the coast in the summer. The rest of the year, you'll need to change trains in Zagreb.

There are three daily fast "tilting" trains from Split to Zagreb (5 1/2 hours) and three overnight trains (8 1/2 hours). From Monday to Saturday six trains a day run between Sibenik and Split (1 1/2 hours) and there are about four trains a day from Split to Zadar (3 1/2 hours) which is the only train line along the coast. There is no train connection from Split to Dubrovnik and no train connection north to Istria.
