Like all other coastal towns, Sveti Filip i Jakov is connected via the nationwide bus network. Some information is available at www.liburnija-zadar.hr.
In the street
There are a few options for arriving by car from Germany, because ultimately only the coastal road (main road) and the A1 motorway lead to Zadar. The most popular route is via the Inntal motorway and the Tauern and Karawanken tunnels, past Ljubljana, Postoina, Rijeka and then the coastal road.
One possibility to avoid the scenic, but very smooth and winding coastal road is to turn off at Ljubljana to Novo Mesto and from there to drive via Karlovac onto the motorway. The motorways are toll roads in Croatia.
The most convenient alternative is to drive via Wels and the Phyrntalautobahn, under Graz, via Maribor, past Zagreb on the A1. With the exception of a little bit before Maribor, Austria and Croatia only have a comparatively little-used motorway. Motorway vignettes are required for Austria (10-day vignette € 8.70) and Slovenia (weekly vignette € 15, monthly vignette € 30). In Croatia, a toll of around 170 kuna (approx. € 23) is due for a car on this route. For a team it will be around 265 kuna (36, - €).As of 2015

Churches
- The Church of St. Michael was rebuilt in 1707 after previous buildings were repeatedly destroyed. The earliest known destruction can be traced back to the Venetians in the 12th century. The church at that time was dedicated to Saints Philip and James, who also gave the place its name. More details under www.sv-filipjakov.hr/de/was-tun/kulturdenkmaler.
