AIRPORTS There are international airports in Zagreb, Zadar, Split, Dubrovnik and Rijeka (on the island of Krk). Currently, the following low cost airlines are flying to Croatia: SkyEurope, EasyJet, Flyglobespan, Germanwings, TUIfly, Ryanair, Thomson and Wizz Air. Major established companies that fly to Croatia include the domestic Croatia Airlines (now a regional member of the Star Alliance), Lufthansa and British Airways. There are no intercontinental flights from or to Croatia.
ROAD TRANSPORT According to recent statements of European traffic experts, Croatian highways belong to the most modern and safest in Europe. This is also due to the fact that the largest part of the Croatian motorway system has recently been constructed, and construction works are rapidly continuing. The traffic signs adhere to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals. The general speed limits are: * in inhabited areas 50 km/h * outside of inhabited areas 90 km/h * on marked highways 130 km/h In 2004, a controversial new traffic law has been introduced, which provides for drastic safety measures for drunken or dangerous driving: it reduced the blood alcohol limit to 0. Toll is charged on all highways, except on the motorway surrounding the city of Zagreb. The toll is collected upon leaving the highway system, at all exit toll gates. Normally paid in kuna, all major credit cards and euros are accepted at all toll gates. The designations of national routes are A1 and other A*. E70 and other E* are designations of European routes. The list of constructed highways and expressways: A1, Zagreb - Split, 380 km A2, Zagreb - Krapina - Macelj A3, Slovenian border (Bregana border crossing) - Zagreb - Lipovac (and onto the border with Serbia A4, Hungarian border (border crossing at Letenye) - Varazdin/Cakovec - Zagreb A6, Zagreb - Rijeka: Part of it is still just an expressway, some 55 km in mountains region from Kupjak to Vrbovsko A7, Slovenian border/Border crossing at Rupa - Rijeka (11 km) A9, Slovenian border - Umag - Rovinj - Kanfanar - Vodnjan
Bus traffic National bus traffic is very well developed and it is very easy to reach even the remotest parts of Croatia by bus. Almost all buses on national routes are air-conditioned and offer pleasant traveling comfort. From Croatia, there are many international bus routes to the neighboring countries (Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.), as well as to Austria, Germany, Switzerland and to other European countries. International buses correspond to European standards. Zagreb has the largest and most modern bus terminal in the country, with specially-designed waiting areas above the bus parking area. The Zagreb bus terminal is not far away from the main train station (Glavni kolodvor) and it is easy to reach by direct city tram lines. Sea transport
Croatia has several large seaports. The largest seaport with the deepest channel to a port in the Adriatic is Rijeka on the northern Croatian coast, followed by Ploce in southern Dalmatia. The largest Croatian passenger port is Split in Dalmatia, also called gateway to the islands, followed by Zadar. There are 66 inhabited islands along the Croatian coast which means there is a large number of local ferry connections. |
