Slavonski Brod is the largest city in Croatia without an international airport. The closest major airports are in Zagreb and Belgrade. Due to significantly better traffic connections with Zagreb, it's airport is the prefered option. Osijek airport (approx. 100 km away) operates seasonal flights by Croatia airlines to Split and Dubrovnik and recently, German Wings flights from Cologne/Bonn are also scheduled.
By train
From Zagreb: Trains run several times per day. The ordinary fast train travels about 2 hours 30 minutes. Tilting Intercity train Slavonia is one of the best trains in Croatia, with seats of European standards, travels slightly over 2 hours and complimentary coffee is served on board. The difference in price compared to a regular intercity train is negligible (approx. 7 kunas = 1 euro), but the seats are often hard to get in the last minute on weekends. The passenger trains also run several times a day, but travel significantly longer and are not reliable.
From Belgrade: Direct lines from Belgrade are availabe (travel time approx. 3,5 hours). However, there is an option of changing trains at Vinkovci.
From Budapest/Sarajevo: Budapest-Osijek-Sarajevo train does not stop at Slavonski Brod, but an option of changing trains at Vrpolje-Strizivojna station exists. This station is very close to Slavonski Brod and it shouldn't take longer than 20 minutes for any train to arrive to Slavonski Brod.
