How long does it take: By Car, By train? Which is best and fastest? Leaving July 23rd
Have driven in Croatia and the motorways are very good. Via Michelin estimates about 7.5 hours to drive from Budapest to Split, but their driving times are usually a little optimistic and don't include rest stops. Train takes 12-16 hours. You can check schedules on the Deutsche Bahn website. Some solutions include a night train from Zagreb to Split. If you decide on the train, consider an overnight in Zagreb. It's well worth a short visit and breaks up the long trip.
