I am travelling to Croatia in September 2017 for 10 nights, we are planning on spending 5 nights in Dubrovnik and 5 nights in Split and using them as bases for sightseeing. I am just looking for advice on the fastest and cheapest ways to get from Dubrovnik to Split via public transport. We are thinking of getting a bus from Dubrovnik bus station to Split which is around 4 hours. Any advice regarding bus vs catamaran would be greatly appreciated! We are hoping to leave Dubrovnik early morning to get to Split in the afternoon. Also we will be staying in Old Town, is there a local bus which runs from Old Town to the bus station in Dubrovnik? Or is it more worthwhile getting a taxi?

I took the bus and it was a great ride...inexpensive, clean, and wonderful views. I can't compare with the catamaran (didn't take one), but I would give the bus a thumbs up. Yes, there are buses that go everywhere in Dubrovnik, you can pay for a taxi but it's much more expensive.

The catamaran is about the same journey time as the bus, but only runs in the afternoon. The views are better from the bus.
