Hi Eric! Wow, this is a long way by train. Are you going on a tight schedule or leisurely travel? There are direct trains from Vienna to Zagreb, and then to Split, but they are LONG and overnight. Then, you can take a bus or fly from Split to Dubrov, there are no trains past Split. If you give me more details I can help you with more info.... we are living in Split now and lived in Vienna for 3 months before this. Peaceful travels, Stacy

Hi stacy...thanks for the reply...
So I am kind of on my own pace..don't have to be anywhere at a specific time. Had wanted to see dubrovnik but was kind of out of the way from all my other sights to see. Need to end up in ancona so thot instead of going all the around by train, might as well do dubrvnik and then ferry to ancona. Don't mind suggestions along the way. Had kicked around Budapest along the way from Vienna....wasn't sure. Sounds like a Ryan air flight from bratislava might be in order. How far is split to dubrovnik and can I catch a ferry from dubrovnik to ancona or do they only depart from split or....?

The ferries from Dubrovnik to Italy stop at Bari rather than Ancona, but there are ferries from Split and Stari Grad to Ancona. Try the website of Jadrolinija, the main ferry operator. I believe Split is about 4 hours by bus from Dubrovnik.

We flew from Zagreb to Dubrovnik on Croatia Air for $60/each (one way). Dubrovnik was also out of the way for us. It's a one hour flight from Zagreb. I'm sure you could fly for very cheap from Vienna or somewhere nearby...

You can fly from Vienna, but it is not cheap. I am not sure the ferries are runnign past October, not sure when you are leaving, but I know the schedule slows down off season and completely stops many routes as well. I LOVED Prague and Budapest as side trips, I guess it depends when you have to be where what I would see and what you like to experience while you travel. Let me know if you have any other questions: )
