Okayy so have changed the route again and hopefully this is the final one as were going alot earlier than planned - in 11days!!
So we are now thinking :
Rome- Florence - Venice - Munich(night train) - Lake Bled (night train) - Tisno - Split - Dubrovnik
We have originally been thinking on getting the 10 in 22days pass, however after reading a few things online we were wondering if interrailing is the best way to travel around Croatia? So maybe just get the 5 in 10 days pass and use that from Rome to Bled and just use local buses and trains for the rest of our journey.
That then leads to our final question which is if anyone knows how to get from Bled to Tisno and Tisno to Split. I have been researching trying to find local bus timetables as there doesnt seem to be any trains.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks so much in advanced Ash and Lilo :D xx

Hi.
Hard to say which pass will be better for you, as I don't know about bus prices in Croatia. :|
If you want to go to Tisno by train, the best option would be for example from Zagreb to Zadar by train and the rest by bus to Tisno: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/zagreb-to-zadar[/u]
From Tisno to Split again via Zadar: [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/zadar-to-split[/u]
Split to Dubrovnik again by inexpensive frequent bus.
If possible, book the Venice to Munich overnight train already in advance: [u]https://rail.cc/en/night-train/venice-munich-cnl40236/36[/u]
If no places left, think about changing your route. From Venice to Lake Bled (free trains - including scenic route to Lake Bled): [u]https://rail.cc/blog/travel-lake-bled-train/[/u]
Then from Bled to Munich (free of extra reservation fees!) and if you like, make the round via (Vienna - ) Budapest to Zagreb. Some longer journeys, but all free of extra reservation fees.
And if you like railcc, buy your official Interrail passes in our partner (see blue bar bellow) - free delivery to the UK! Thank you! :)

Hej,
I would go with the 5in10 - you should get as far as Zadar if you leave early enough (0730) in Lesce Bled. Actually, to go to Tisno the better route would to go to Sibenik first (change in Perkovic on the Zagreb - Split main line), then it is only about 30km to Tisno. From Sibenik you can then continue by train (buy a regular ticket at the station) to Split and then again by bus to Dubrovnik.
Regarding the Thomas Cook May edition...the updated schedules for the summer are in the June edition, some of them come as late as July or even later. Anyway, since you already have it, take it with you...most connections wont change significantly, and it is always good to check schedules locally before departure anyway. ;)

This route sounds fantastic. Do you think it's do-able in 3 weeks? Three weeks is the maximum amount of time I can take off work at any one time.

I tried to get from Split to Sibenik this summer and it didn´t work out quite well. I remember that the connection Sibenik-Split was really bad, with about 3 hours layover in Perkovic, which i would not really recommend, because there really is nothing out there. From Tisno, i would take a direct bus to Split, a one way ticket costs about 6 euros. If you have to take a bus from Tisno to Sibenik anyway, you might as well stay on that bus until Split ;) [u]http://www.autotrans.hr[/u]
Oh, and if you take CNL 363 Pictor from Munich to Venice: Don´t book a seat, take a couchette. The seating-car is really old and dirty and the seats are non-recliners, at least when we took the Pictor. You´re better of paying a little bit more and have a relaxed journey...
