Croatia Airlines (www.croatiaairlines.com) has direct flights from London (and other European cities including Paris, Brussels and Frankfurt) to Zagreb and (either direct, or via Zagreb) all major Croatian cities including Split, Zadar and Rijeka. British Airways (www.ba.com) also flies to Zagreb and Dubrovnik for roughly the same fare as Croatia Airlines. Ryanair (www.ryanair.com) flies from the UK to Zadar, Rijeka and Pula; Easyjet (www.easyjet.com) to Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik; and Wizz (www.wizzair.com) to Split. Other airlines operating routes from the UK include Flybe (www.flybe.com), Jet2 (www.jet2.com) and Monarch (www.monarch.co.uk), and (via Cologne/Bonn) German Wings (www.germanwings.com). Flights get heavily booked in the summer – so book as far in advance as possible. Note also that schedules (especially those of the low-cost airlines) are subject to frequent change. Always check online.

By train

Visitors can get to Croatia by train from Western Europe. However, note that a train ticket from the UK will almost certainly be more expensive than a flight unless you’re willing to be very flexible with travel dates, and you’ll need to change trains a few times. The train is likely to be a more attractive option for those arriving from cities in neighbouring countries, such as Trieste, Venice, Ljubljana, Budapest, Belgrade and Sarajevo. See the Rail Europe (www.raileurope.co.uk) and especially the Deutsche Bahn (www.bahn.com) websites for possible routes and fares. Better value is an InterRail (www.raileurope.co.uk) or a Eurail (www.eurail.com, which must be bought outside Europe) pass, which allows travellers to stop off and explore several other countries on their way to Croatia. InterRail tickets, once the privilege of those under the age of 26, are now available to all age groups.
