Moving around in Croatia - transportation
Travel by train on average is 10-13% cheaper than buses. The railway passes through all the major cities of the country and connects through the most remote regions. The most active railway service is in the north of the country and the total length of the track is about three thousand kilometers. Only second class trains run within cities. For longer trips, you can choose express trains or comfortable, but expensive, first class trains. Trains run in strict accordance with the schedule.
