Hi- My boyfriend and I have seen a lot of great shows about Dubrovnik and the Dalmatian coast. We are wondering if you can get there by train from Austria or Germany. We would spend a week in Austria and then go to Croatia from there. It looks like there is a train that goes from Vienna to Split but not to Dubrovnik. Any suggestions? Has anyone been there? Thanks-Kim
There is no train to Dubrovnik. Your best alternative would be Vienna to Split and then take a bus down the coast to Dubrovnik.
If you google "adriatic ferries" or "ferries from italy to Dubrovnik" you will find that there are a number of options that will take you to Dubrovnik. Some of these are overnight trips, so it will save a hotel night and a travel day getting you there.
