getting there
By plane
There is a small airport in Zadar, about 10 minutes by car from the city. The taxi costs around 120 kuna one-way.
Of Frankfurt Hahn Ryanair flies to Zadar twice a week between mid-April and October, while Croatian Airlines flies to Zadar from Zagreb.
By train
There is only a rail connection to Zadar from Knin. From there the connection is over Zagreb possible.
By bus
The Zadar bus station is quite large. There buses in all directions and to neighboring countries.
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 way to save yourself the scenic, but very smooth and winding coastal road is to turn off at Ljubljana to Novo Mesto and from there to take the motorway via Karlovac. 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 the route to Zadar. For a team it will be around 265 kuna (36, - €).As of 2015
