Where to take the ferry from Split to Brač

Ferries to Brač typically depart from the port of Split (Trajektna Luka Split), the city’s main harbor, which is right by the waterfront. The port is around 20 km from Split Airport and within walking distance of the Old Town, the Riva promenade and Diocletian’s Palace.

Ferries and catamarans to Brač depart from the same port area, but from different berths depending on the company, vessel and destination, so it’s best to check your ticket and the port displays before boarding.

At the port and in the surrounding area, you’ll find ticket offices, ATMs, cafés, fast-food spots, shops, souvenir stands and car rental agencies. The main bus station and train station are right next to the port, while parking lots are available nearby, but spaces can be limited during peak season.
