Split is the long way south: about 780 km by road from Budapest Airport, down through Zagreb and along the Croatian motorway to the Dalmatian coast. At the end of it is one of Europe’s most remarkable towns, built into and around a Roman emperor’s palace, with a palm-lined seafront and ferries to the islands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s a full day’s travel whichever way you do it. There is no year-round direct train, the buses take ten hours or more with a change, and a taxi has no published fare. This guide lays out every option with real times and prices from the operators’ own sites, so you can decide whether to go in one go, break the trip in Zagreb, or let a driver take the strain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
