Question 1

How much do Krka National Park tickets cost in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Adults pay €40 from June to September, €20 in April, May and October, and €7 from November to March; after 15:00 in summer the price drops to €30. Children aged 7–18 and students pay €15/€12/€4 for the same seasons, and kids under 7 always get in free. Entry is also free on 1 May and for pilgrims before mass on Easter Monday — expect the year's biggest crowds on those days.

Question 2

Can you swim at Krka National Park?

Accepted Answer

Only at three designated spots — Roški slap, Stinice and Pisak (Remetić) — and only between 1 June and 30 September. Swimming at Skradinski buk has been banned since 1 January 2021 to protect the fragile travertine, and jumping off the falls or bridges is prohibited everywhere.

Question 3

How do I get to Krka National Park from Split or Zadar?

Accepted Answer

From Split it's 93 km — about 1–1.5 hours by car via the A1 motorway to exit 21-Skradin, or a direct bus (Flixbus or Prijevoz Knežević) costing €12–15 one-way in 1h 20m–1h 30m. From Zadar it's 76 km, roughly an hour's drive, with up to 12 buses a day connecting Zadar's main station to Skradin, so a car-free day trip works from either city.

Question 4

Do I need to book Krka tickets in advance?

Accepted Answer

Tickets aren't sold in time slots, but the park hits capacity limits in July and August, so buying online at shop.np-krka.hr saves you from queuing — or being turned away to wait. Note that boat excursions to Visovac (€15) and Visovac + Roški slap (€20) can't be booked online at all; they're sold only on site.

Question 5

How many hours do you need at Krka National Park?

Accepted Answer

The Skradinski buk boardwalk circuit takes 2–3 hours with photo stops — the walk itself runs 60–90 minutes past watermills, an ethno village and the 1895 Jaruga hydroelectric plant. Add half a day if you're taking the boat from Skradin, and plan a full day for the Visovac excursion (2 h) or the Visovac + Roški slap tour (4 h).

Question 6

Which entrance is better, Lozovac or Skradin?

Accepted Answer

Lozovac is the main car entrance, with free parking and a free shuttle bus down to the falls. Skradin is the scenic option — your ticket includes a 20-minute boat cruise up the canyon, running 1 April to 31 October. One ticket covers all open land localities that day, but each one only once, so plan your route before you buy.

Question 7

Is Krka National Park wheelchair accessible?

Accepted Answer

Largely, at Skradinski buk: there's a free shuttle from the Lozovac car park, a paved and mostly flat approach, and a flat boat landing from Skradin. Some boardwalk sections have steps and narrow stretches, so ask staff to point out the accessible loop. Holders of a European Disability Card enter free, plus one companion.

Question 8

What should I bring to Krka National Park?

Accepted Answer

Sturdy, grippy shoes — the boardwalks and tufa-side paths are wet and slippery — plus water and sun protection, since July and August heat regularly tops 30 °C with little shade on open viewpoints. If you're allergic to stings, pack medication: the park has the second-highest lavender density in Europe, so bees and wasps are constant. On a leash, dogs are welcome too, though never on Visovac Island.
