Vienna to the Dalmatian coast in a single day, door to door. South on the A2 past Graz, through Slovenia by Maribor, into Croatia at Macelj and down the A1 through Lika and Dalmatia — about 8h 15m of driving from your Vienna hotel or Vienna Airport to your door in Split.
Drive from Vienna to Split in about 8h 15m, with two borders and your breaks on top. Private transfer priced on request per vehicle, door-to-door — from a Vienna hotel, an address or Vienna Airport to your hotel, apartment or address in Split, or to Split Airport.
Collection from your hotel or address in Vienna, or from Vienna Airport (VIE) at Schwechat. The route leaves the city southwards for the A2 Süd Autobahn past Wiener Neustadt.
The capital of Styria lies where the A2 meets the A9. A coffee or lunch in the centre breaks the drive while you are still in Austria.
The A9 meets the Slovenian A1 at a Schengen-internal crossing. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur, so every passenger keeps a passport or national ID card within reach.
Just after the border the motorway passes Maribor, an easy stop before the A4 towards Ptuj and Croatia.
The Slovenian A4 hands over to the Croatian A2, again at a Schengen-internal crossing where police checks or temporary border controls may occur. Allow some flexibility in journey time.
After the Zagreb bypass, Karlovac, Lika and the Sveti Rok tunnel, the A1 comes down into Dalmatia near the Krka waterfalls. A visit works as a planned stop on the last part of the drive; add the time you want at the falls.
From the A1 at Dugopolje the road drops down to the coast: drop-off at your hotel, apartment or address in Split, or at Split Airport (SPU), which lies on the way before the city.

Vienna Airport (VIE) at Schwechat lies south-east of the city, about 20 km from the centre. From the airport straight to Split is roughly 770 km and 8h 25m of driving, so there is no need to go into Vienna first — give us your flight number in the request. Airport pickups include 60 minutes of free waiting.
Heading back north? Split to Vienna crosses the same two borders in the opposite order.
Split → Vienna →Vienna to Split is about 760 km by road through Austria, Slovenia and Croatia. The A2 Süd leaves Vienna past Wiener Neustadt and Hartberg towards Graz, and the A9 continues to the Slovenian border at Spielfeld/Šentilj. In Slovenia the A1 passes Maribor and the A4 runs by Ptuj to the Croatian border at Gruškovje/Macelj; the Croatian A2 then descends to the Zagreb bypass, and the A1 carries you south past Karlovac, through Lika by Gospić and the Sveti Rok tunnel, and down through Dalmatia to Dugopolje, just above Split. Plan on about 8h 15m of driving, plus the borders and any breaks.
There is no year-round direct train from Vienna to Split. Long-distance coach journeys operate on the route; look at the current timetable before you rely on one. With a private transfer you leave your Vienna hotel or the airport at a time you choose and arrive at your door in Split, with your luggage in the car the whole way.
Austria, Slovenia and Croatia are all in the Schengen area, so both crossings on this route are internal. Police checks or temporary border controls may occur at either one. Every passenger should keep a valid passport or national ID card within reach, and journey time can vary with traffic and checks.
