  It's 2026 and tax season is over and it's time for a little adventure on the road. We're heading out to Dubrovnik. We'll then make our way up the Dalmatian Coast to visit some islands, the City of Zadar and on to the northernmost part of Croatia.

Both residents and non-residents (including foreigners,) ride for free. Thank goodness they don’t call us seniors. They call us pensioners here which is just as bad! But the benefits... and planning your trip is easy with either Google Maps or the BudapestGo ...
