Krk

Do not confuse with the Krka waterfalls

Together with the island of Cres, Krk is the largest island in Croatia.

Arrival to Croatia

There are many ways to travel from Germany to Croatia. If you want to go on vacation in the northern part of the country, you can easily get there by car or bus and train.

From Munich to Rovinj , for example, it is only a good six hours’ drive by car.

If you don’t want to get behind the wheel, you can easily reach some destinations by train or Flixbus. For example, there is a direct connection from Munich to Pula with the Flixbus .

However, you will be on the road for a few hours by bus, so you should be prepared to sit for a long time.

However, if you want to travel south, such as Dubrovnik or Split , or if you live in northern Germany, we recommend booking a flight. Especially in the summer months there are many good flight connections to Croatia.
