Overview
About 1.5 hours by bus from Split, Krka National Park is built around the Krka River and its emerald-hued, multi-tiered waterfalls. The most famous, Skradinski Buk, cascades over 17 levels, and in summer limited swimming is allowed below the falls. Boardwalk trails wind past waterfalls, lakes, monasteries, and rich wildlife. More accessible and less crowded than Plitvice Lakes, it's a top day trip from Split. Admission about EUR 30 (summer). About 1.5 hours by bus or tour from Split.

Open 08:00–20:00 in Jun–Aug, 08:00–19:00 in September, and roughly 08:00–18:00 in Apr–May and early October (09:00–17:00 from mid-October). Winter hours (Nov–Feb) are 09:00–16:00, and the park is closed on December 25–26.
🚇 Getting there
From Šibenik bus station, buses run about 5 times daily to Lozovac (~20 min) or Skradin (~35 min). From April to October the entrance ticket includes the boat from Skradin (~30 min, roughly hourly) and the shuttle bus from Lozovac to Skradinski Buk.
⏱️ How long to visit
The Skradinski Buk loop trail takes about 2–3 hours, while adding the boat ride and a Visovac island excursion turns it into a half-day to full-day visit.
🌅 Best time to visit
To avoid peak-season crowds, visit right at opening in the early morning or in the shoulder seasons (Apr–May, Oct), when spring water flow makes the falls especially dramatic. Note that swimming at Skradinski Buk has been banned since 2021.
Travel Tips
Bring swimwear in summer. Entering by boat from the Skradin entrance is the most popular route.
