Hello,
We are planning our first interrail trip in August and we're looking for some tips or suggestions. We are going from Arnhem (Holland) to Budapest - Sarajevo - Mostar - Dubrovnik - Split - Zagreb (Plitvice) - Ljubljana - Bled - Venice. We have a 10 in 22 days interrail ticket but we're only using up 8 of the travel days since we have to use a lot of busses in Croatia. This site has been very helpful but we still have a few questions:
- Is taking a bus from Mostar to Dubrovnik the best option? Or should we take the train to Ploce, and from there the bus to Dubrovnik? (we have 2 travel days left on our ticket)
-We want to spend 2 days in Dubrovnik and maybe visit an island for one day (does anyone know an nice island to spend the day? We also heard that Kotor, Montenegro is a nice place to visit?)
- We will only spend a few hours in Split. Is this enough to see the city? or do you recommend one more day in Split instead of Dubrovnik?
- We want to take a very early bus (around 5.45 or so > directly after we arrive with the night train from Split) from Zagreb to the Plitvice lakes, spend the day there and return in the evening? Is there a better way to do this daytrip?
Hopefully someone can tell us if this trip is planned the right way and can give us some tips or suggestions! Thanks!

Hi.
I can't answer all your questions ... but give you some information... :)
Mostar to Dubrovnik: there are two direct buses running daily if I remember right. It is faster by direct bus. But on Ploce - Split - Dubrovnik there also frequent buses... I personally would go to Ploce and then by bus - but I simply love train travel, that's why I would chose the train. ;)
From Budapest you will definitely cross Belgrade - also worth a stay.
From Belgrade you could travel to Montenegro (day train, amazing route!!): [u]https://rail.cc/en/interrail/belgrade-to-bar[/u]
Then cross the border to Dubrovnik (just mentioned some days before here in the forum - search for it). :)
Dubrovnik is nicer than Split in my eyes. So better to stay in Dub.
