Bus travel

[Tanya]

My husband and I are planning a trip in the summer of 2024. The plan is Zagreb --> Plitvice lakes --> Zadar --> Split.
I can see there are buses between each of these locations, but I would like to know if they are larger buses with storage for luggage. We will have 2 suitcases and 2 onboard bags.
Would it be easier to hire a car?
Thanks

The long-distance bus routes all use larger buses that have storage for luggage at the base of the bus, you won't have any problems in that regard. Whilst your route is very do-able, you may find it more flexible to rent a car especially if you will be travelling in summer and buses will be busy.

Yes, I do agree with that but if you can make it not so larger and just bring the necessary things that would be better.
