Trogir is an easy half-hour west of Split by road — or about an hour by boat, calling at Slatine on the way. Here's how each option actually works, what it costs, and which suits your trip.
Road prices are approximate and seasonal; the boat fare is Bura Line's published 2026 adult fare. Arriving by plane instead? See our Split Airport to Trogir guide.

About 27 km west of Split, along the coast through Kaštela.
Taxi, private transfer or hire car — roughly 30–40 minutes by road.
Local bus line 37, from around £3, running frequently through the day.
The one option the road cannot match. A passenger boat runs Split → Slatine (Čiovo) → Trogir in season. Split to Trogir takes about an hour; Slatine sits roughly halfway, 30 minutes out of Split and 25 more on to Trogir. The 2026 adult fare is €10 to Trogir and €7 to Slatine, half price for children. Tickets are bought on board before departure, cash only — there is no online booking and no card machine. The timetable is seasonal and changes more than once between spring and autumn, so check the current one on Bura Line's own site before you plan a day around it.
The cheapest way, and frequent: line 37 runs between Split's bus station and Trogir via Kaštela and the airport, taking about 40–60 minutes with stops. Keep small change ready. It is the local service, not the airport shuttle. Best when you travel light.
Door to door in about 30–40 minutes, and the sensible choice with heavy luggage, small children, or a group splitting one minivan. A pre-booked transfer fixes the fare and puts a driver at the kerb; a metered taxi often costs much the same.
Worth it if you will also explore Čiovo, the beaches or a self-drive day trip — otherwise it is a car you pay to park. The old town is car-free, so it stays outside either way. See our car rental at Split Airport guide.
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.
Trogir's historic island is car-free. Park on the mainland or on Čiovo, or choose a place with parking — don't plan to pull up at your door.
It runs spring to autumn on a timetable that changes through the season, and tickets are sold on board for cash. No card, no online booking. Outside the season, take the bus, a taxi or a car.
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.
The big car ferries in Split harbour serve Brač, Hvar and Šolta. The Trogir boat is a separate passenger service and takes no cars — do not look for it on the island ferry boards.
The compact old town is an easy half-day, and pairs perfectly with a boat trip or Krka. See is Trogir worth visiting and the one-day plan.
