Don’t Forget To Eat And Relieve Yourself Before Getting On A Long Bus Ride

Aside from booking your bus ticket at least a day in advance to make sure you get a seat, especially when you’re visiting during the peak season, you might also want to eat before a long bus ride so you wouldn’t have to eat on the bus. While it’s not prohibited to munch on snacks or enjoy a local delicacy during the trip, you might want to avoid eating a zagorski štrukli, a Croatian baked dough with various types of filling, or grilled sardines while you’re on that long bus ride. Besides possibly making a mess, the locals and even fellow tourists might not appreciate seeing you eat hot, smelly food on a long journey by bus. Most windows are sealed shut even in the summer, and only a few of these buses have decent air conditioning. Some buses are full of passengers, and you would have to stand. It’s a terrible idea to eat while standing on a packed bus. It’s best that you just wait until the next rest or meal stop where you can properly enjoy your food.

You might also want to pee first before you get on a long bus ride. The buses in Croatia do not have any toilets. Some inter-city buses may have toilets on board, but these are often locked and not serviceable. You’ll need to wait until the next rest stop to relieve yourself.
