In detail

The options, one by one

By bus — local line 37

The cheapest way: bus line 37 runs frequently between Split's bus station and Trogir, via Kaštela and Split Airport, taking about 40–60 minutes with stops. Buy a ticket and keep some small change. Note it's the local service, not the airport shuttle.

By taxi or private transfer

Door to door in about 30–40 minutes. A pre-booked private transfer gives a fixed fare and a driver waiting — ideal with luggage, children, a group or a late arrival. Often similar in price to a metered taxi.

By catamaran (summer only)

In the summer season a passenger catamaran links the Split and Trogir harbours — around 30 minutes and a lovely approach from the water. It doesn't run year-round, so check the current timetable.

By hire car

The flexible choice if you'll also explore Čiovo, the beaches or self-drive a day trip. Remember the old town is car-free — see our car rental at Split Airport guide and park outside the centre.

Pick by traveller

Which option is best for you?

The right choice depends on your luggage, group size and budget.

Backpackers

Bus line 37

Cheapest by far, frequent, and you travel light — the obvious pick on a budget.

Families

Private transfer or car

Door to door with space for kids and bags; a hire car also unlocks beaches and day trips.

Groups

Private transfer / minivan

Split the cost and travel together in one go — usually better value than several taxis.

Heavy luggage

Taxi or transfer

Skip dragging suitcases on and off a busy local bus — pay a little more for a smooth ride.

Day-trippers

Bus or summer catamaran

Cheap and frequent there and back; in summer the catamaran adds a scenic harbour approach.

Avoid these

Common mistakes to avoid

01

Don't confuse bus 37 with the airport bus

Line 37 is the local Split–Trogir bus; the dedicated airport shuttle is a separate service. If you're flying in, use our Split Airport to Trogir guide instead.

02

You can't drive into the old town

Trogir's historic island is car-free. Park on the mainland or on Čiovo, or choose a hotel with parking — don't plan to pull up at your door.

03

The catamaran is seasonal

It runs in summer only and on a limited timetable. Outside the season, don't rely on it — take the bus, a taxi or a car.

04

Allow time on the bus

Line 37 makes many stops and can be busy in peak season. Have a ticket and small change ready, and build in extra time if you're catching something.
