Airport bus Split
Split airport is situated in Kastel Stafilic 20 km from the city centre Split and 6 km from Trogir.
Getting from the airport to the city centre is possible by the following means of transportation.
Airport bus: The airport bus between Split airport and the main bus station is operated by the company Pleso prijevoz. The timetable for the bus varies depending on the time of the year. As a rule of thumb the bus leaves the airport 30 minutes after the arrival of a scheduled flight, and from the main bus station the bus departs 2 hours before departure of scheduled flights. However, just to make sure, double-check the departures from the bus station in Split and from the airport.
Additional info in relation to the airport bus:
- The airport bus can be found on the left when you exit the airport terminal.
- Between the airport and the main bus station the bus has no scheduled stops, so if you need to get off somewhere on the way, you will have to ask the driver whether it is possible or not. When you get out at the main bus station, you have less then 100 meters to the ferry port and 200 meters to where the catamarans for Hvar depart.
- The bus trip takes about 30 minutes.
- One-way ticket costs 30 Kuna while a daily ticket costs 40 Kuna. Tickets can be purchased on the bus. In the direction from the airport, the driver usually accepts a 5 Euro note as payment for a one-way ticket in case you don’t have kuna by your side.
- Due to plane delays and summer crowds, be prepared for a waiting time of up to few hours (especially during the summer).
NOTE: Keep in mind that the airport is currently under reconstruction and some information regarding the bus stop may vary.
Local bus:
- Bus line number 37 drives from the main road from Trogir to Split and Split to Trogir. The bus departs every 20 minutes on weekdays and Saturdays and every 30 minutes on Sundays. A one-way ticket to Split costs about 20 Kuna and a one way ticket to Trogir 13 Kuna.
- Bus line number 38 operates on the routes Split – Kastel Stari – Resnik and Resnik– Kastel Stari – Split
In Split the bus drives to the city bus terminal Sukoisan which is about 1 km from the city centre. NOTE: this bus is not suitable if you want to catch a ferry or catamaran from Split.
The bus to Trogir drives to the main bus station in Trogir where you can change to a bus towards island of Ciovo.
Transfer: If you are not up for hassling with luggage when leaving the airport, but want to be taken directly to your accommodation in Split, you can pre-book a transfer to any address in Split and of course to other destinations also. The price for a pre-booked transfer to Split is 34 Euros. If you have booked a transfer, the driver will be waiting for you at the arrivals terminal, here you can book your private transfer from Split airport.
Taxi: Taxis can be found just outside the airport terminal. A taxi ride to Split costs about 250-300 Kuna and to Trogir about 100 kuna. Make sure to agree on the price before entering the taxi.
Rent a car: Of course you also have the option to rent a car at Split airport, but especially during summer time it is advisable to book the car from home. You can see car rental offers from the Split airport here.

Q: Can I pay my transportation from the airport with Euros, Dollars or Pounds?
A: In general, the Croatian law states that the only currency allowed for payment of goods and services is the Kuna but exceptions apply and this is one of the cases. The airport bus and transfer / taxi drivers will for sure accept Euros (Dollars and Pounds not in all cases); any change will in most cases be paid in Kuna.
Q: Can I take Uber taxi from Split or Trogir to the airport?
A: Yes, you can take Uber taxi but they do not have fixed prices so it might cost you more. That’s why pre-booking a private transfer is a better option if you want to reach Split or Trogir by car.

Hi. Here and elswhere I read that the Split airport buses depart 30 min or some place says 20 min after a scheduled flight arrival. However, when I read the timetable for the airport buses this isn’t true. I will be arriving on a Sunday at 9:30 am and according to timetable on Bus Croatia there is a bus at 9 am and the next one at 10:30 am. I don’t know what to believe – I want to get on the 11 am ferry to Vis. Is there more than one bus service running between Split and Split airport?
Dear Birgitta,
Official shuttle bus from Split Airport does depart 20 min after a scheduled flight arrival. It says the same on the official website of the bus company (http://www.plesoprijevoz.hr/en/page/timetable).
Best regards!

Hi. Thanks for your reply and I see it states 20 min after arrival but there is no timetable there. Last time I arrived in july 2017 I had to wait for a very long time for a bus and eventually (after about 45 mins and no bus in sight) took a taxi instead which was expensive and I missed the ferry anyway – 7 hrs to next ferry. I wanted to be sure this time and stop worrying (its a different flight and ferry this time) or preorder a private transfer.
I would have felt better with a timetable 🙂
If I use the pop-up on this page “Find your bus” I get this timetable
https://getbybus.com/en/bus-routes/split-airport-1613/split-1217/2018-06-10
Which is confusing…. as you see no bus between 9:00 and 10:30 – I am arriving at 9:30
Also timetable here http://www.ak-split.hr/dolasci-u-split/ has no bus at 9:50
Dear Birgitta,
As You can see, these tickets cannot be bought online and the timetable is generated and it gives approximate time of departures. I suggest You ask at the Info desk at the airport for shuttle bus departures as soon as You land. If You think You won’t make it in time to Split, You can always wait for the local bus outside the airport (it departs every 20 mins:00, 20, 40)
Best regards!

Dear Angel,
Unfortunately, there is no direct bus from Split Airport to Šibenik, but You can take a bus from Trogir to Šibenik. To reach Trogir, take a local bus 37 which passes near the airport and You can buy the ticket on board (make sure to go the opposite direction of Split). Trogir is 10 min drive from Split Airport and the last stop is the bus station in Trogir where the bus for Šibenik departs from. Here’s the link for online ticket from Trogir to Šibenik https://getbybus.com/en/bus-trogir-to-%C5%A1ibenik

Good Morning,
My flight is very late, I arrive around 00:30. Are there any late buses to Split or I would need to take taxi?
Kind regards,
Paula
Dear Paula,
The last shuttle bus departure is at 23:00, however You can catch local bus line 37 which stops on the road across the airport. There are two night departures, at 00:00 and 02:00, so I think You can only catch the one departing at 02:00. It takes around 5-10 minutes from Trogir (where the bus departs from) to the airport. You can buy the bus ticket on board.
Best regards!

Hello . . . I used your instructions to get the bus into Split from the airport. The Pleso bus is located to the LEFT as we come out of the airport (not the right as indicated in the website instructions and the picture). PLEASE CHANGE YOUR INSTRUCTIONS.
My husband and I ran out to the city bus stop, looking to the right . . . not seeing any buses. The people at the bus stop told us to go back, and the buses to Split were still there thankfully. We were quite upset by the time we got to the bus, thinking we would be left behind.
Dear Gwen,
thank you for your remark, we will certanly check that information and update the post.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi,
What is the easiest and cheapest way to arrive at a hotel in Vrboska from Split airport?
Dear Suulee,
If you’re referring to Vrboska on Hvar Island, you need to take a shuttle or local bus from the airport to Split Bus Station. Once you get there, go to ferry port which is right across the bus station. Then take a ferry/catamaran to Stari Grad on Hvar and from there take a local bus to Vrboska. Total price of this journey should cost around 100-120 kn.
