Croatia has a significant rail network with services running between all of its major cities. There are no services along the country’s coastline, however, so Dubrovnik is the one city that cannot be accessed by train. You can travel as far as Split by rail then cover the remaining distance to Dubrovnik by bus.High-speed rail services, referred to as ‘tilting trains’, run between the capital and Split, Osijek and Rijeka plus other major cities. There are also overnight services between Zagreb and Split in which sleeper carriages are available. Aside from the high-speed trains, there are regular speed services along the same lines.
