How to get around Split

The coastal town of Split is located in the southern region of Croatia. The main airport is Split Airport/Zračna Luka Resnik Airport; located approximately 30 minutes from the city centre. Upon arrival, shuttle buses are available outside the airport to transfer visitors directly to the city centre for 20 HRK (around $3).

The city centre is quite small and can be explored easily by foot; taking around 30 minutes to get from one side of the city to the other. Local buses also loop the city centre as well as travel to the outer areas of Split, including the Mall of Split and City Centre One. Tickets can be purchased directly from the driver as well as from kiosks at the main bus stations. If you are staying in the city centre, the festival is only a short walk away from most accommodations.

Ultra also offers travel packages, which include unlimited rides on both the festival shuttle buses and the regular city buses throughout the duration of the event.

There is a range of accommodation options throughout the city centre of Split. The waterfront town features a large number of hostels, which is generally the most popular choice of accommodation among ravers. A number of hotels are also available, as well as Airbnb and vacation rentals. You can explore nearby accommodation options below.

If you want to stay close to the action and party all week long, Ultra also offers a ‘beachville’ campsite. By far the ‘most fun-filled accommodation option’ on offer, you can join thousands of Ultranauts for the ultimate camping experience. The campsite also features stylish lodges and beach houses for those who don’t want to stay in tents.
