Brac is easily accessible by car, scooter and convenient public transport. The roads, although not particularly modern, allow you to reach almost all the villages without any particular worries.
With a surface area of about 400 square kilometers, the scooter (or alternatively the quad) is a possible solution for getting around Brac. With due care, because in some sections, the sharp bends and numerous hairpin bends invite maximum caution!
Far from the inhabited centers, you will find poor lighting.
This solution is preferable for covering short/medium range distances, and for reaching small solitary coves.
In this sense, we recommend staying in Supetar, or Bol, to also use the convenient buses for long-range distances.
The best solution for getting around Brac, without being subject to bus timetables and the dangers of moving around by scooter.
All the main villages on the island are connected to each other by roads, mostly paved.
Generally, you will not have particular difficulty parking, even in high season.
Some panoramic roads are truly suggestive, offering wonderful views and a breathtaking view of the island. This is the case, for example, of the stretch from Bol to Gornji Humac. Other roads, however, cross fields of olive trees and Mediterranean scrub.
If you are not traveling with your own vehicle, as soon as you reach the island you will find numerous agencies for renting cars, scooters or quads. Coming by sea from Split, in the capital you will find numerous offices a short distance from the port.
Rentamotorino, for example, offers 50cc scooters at around €26 per day, for weekly rentals and 125cc scooters at €32 per day, again for weekly rentals.
Petrol, diesel and LPG stations are located mostly in the towns of Supetar, Bol and Milna. Before setting off, it is advisable to fill up your tank because on many secondary roads you will not find any stations for several kilometers.
Taxi are not a particularly popular solution. As always, we recommend checking the fare in advance by checking whether there is a taximeter on the vehicle.
Generally, you can call a taxi at your hotel.
Autotrans is the local company that manages public transport on the island, which has been part of the Arriva group since 2017. Buses connect the main centres of Brac in a widespread manner. If you are not particularly allergic to waiting times and delays, then the bus could be the right choice for you. Also from an economic point of view. Otherwise, it is better to opt for car or scooter rental.
Connections are more frequent between Supetar, Bol and Milna. In high season, there are 10 or more daily connections Supetar-Bol, Supetar-Praznica or Supetar-G.Humac.
Buses run every day, including Sundays and holidays, after 06:00, until approximately 21:00. After this time, you will not find buses in service. You will have to travel with your own vehicle or, alternatively, call a taxi.
Ticket prices vary depending on the route and distance. A trip from Supetar to Milna, and vice versa, costs €4.50 per person, with a travel time of about 30 minutes.
From Supetar to Bol, on the other hand, you pay €6.30 per person, with a travel time of about 80 minutes.
You are allowed to carry two small bags per person. Generally, to carry bags you are required to pay a supplement of €1.30 per person, each way, for a maximum weight of 25kg.
The biggest difficulty in getting around Brac by public transport is finding tickets. Often, it is not possible to buy them on the vehicle; sometimes, a significantly higher price is required.
In Supetar, at the central station, you should be able to buy tickets at the point of sale.
The more practical ones, however, can purchase the e-ticket online on the official website arriva.com.hr
An app is also available for Play store only. After purchasing, you will receive a receipt to show to the bus driver.
