Buses to Dubrovnik

Domestic Buses to Dubrovnik        

Taking a bus to Dubrovnik can be most practical. Dubrovnik is linked by eight buses a day to Zagreb (11 hours)  which includes several night buses. (See Zagreb bus station for the schedules) If you're coming from anywhere along the coast, you can hop aboard one of the many buses a day that take the coastal road from Zadar to Dubrovnik, stopping at Sibenik, Trogir, Split and Makarska as well as any small village along the coast. (See the Split bus station for the Split schedules). All buses to Dubrovnik stop at the Dubrovnik bus station.

If you're taking a bus from Split, note that the road passes through Neum which is part of Bosnian territory. You may be asked for your passport, so keep it handy but if you have legally entered Croatia without a visa you are not expected to have one for Bosnia-Hercegovina.

From the Peljesac peninsula there's the bus from Orebic (except for Sunday) and from Korcula there's an early-morning bus Monday through Saturday taking three hours to reach Dubrovnik.

Further afield, you can get four buses a day for the 12-hour ride from Rijeka (see the Rijeka bus timetable) and one from Pula and Rovinj.
