Pelješac Bridge Cuts Journey Time to Dubrovnik

Anyone travelling from Zagreb to Dubrovnik is in for a pleasant surprise: the journey time from the Croatian capital to the southern coastal city has been reduced to around four hours, cutting the driving time by a third. The reason for the extended six-hour journey – longer during summer weekends – was the small corner of Bosnia-Herzegovina that juts out into the sea, with travellers heading from one Croatian city to the other forced to cross into another country, namely Bosnia-Herzegovina; added to which is the fact that Bosnia-Herzegovina is not an EU member.
