Direct flights to cities in the region (close enough to drive into Croatia)
If you want to fly close to Croatia and maybe then come to Croatia by car, bus, train or short flight then we would recommend Vienna, Budapest, Belgrade or Venice (which are all within 3-5hrs of driving, more if you went another mode of transport).
The Polish LOT flies directly from Budapest to New York from June to September, and Budapest is connected to Toronto by Air Canada from May to October, so that could be a good alternative to a direct flight (you could then pick up a rental car and drive to Croatia).
There are several direct flights from Venice to the USA and in the summer months they are a good option because Venice and the beautiful Croatian city of Rovinj are connected by ferry line and the ride itself takes about 3 hours. So you can start your journey through Croatia by way of the Istrian peninsula.
Venice itself is connected by direct flights with the American cities of New York, Philadelphia and Atlanta in the period from May to October and the Canadian Toronto and Montreal in the period from April to October
The most connected city with North America in the region near Croatia is definitely Vienna. Vienna is connected by 6 direct flights with North America.
Vienna is directly connected to 4 American cities these are New York, Chicago, Washington and Los Angeles, and Canadian Toronto and Montreal.
Vienna is connected to Zagreb by train, bus and air, and the ride can take up to 5 hours. The flight takes about an hour to Zagreb.
Another city in the region has a direct connection with New York in the region and that is Belgrade. Air Serbia plans to fly to New York 6 times a week this summer.
