Yes, the bus is the most common and convenient way to travel between Split and Dubrovnik in 2026. Because there is no train line connecting these two coastal gems, several companies like FlixBus, Arriva, and Nomago operate frequent daily routes. The journey takes approximately 4 hours and offers some of the most stunning coastal views in Europe as you wind along the Adriatic Highway. In 2026, most buses utilize the Pelješac Bridge, meaning you no longer have to worry about border crossings into Bosnia and Herzegovina (the Neum corridor), which has significantly streamlined the travel time. Tickets typically cost between $15 and $35, and it is highly recommended to book in advance during the summer months and try to snag a seat on the right-hand side of the bus (facing forward) for the best views of the islands and the turquoise sea during the drive south.
