Walking
If you are in the center of Hvar town, start by heading towards the main square (Trg Sveti Stjepana). From the square, walk down the street towards the waterfront.

Turn left onto Glagoljaška ul, and you will find the Croatian Maritime Museum at number 18 on your left.
Public Transport
From Hvar town, walk to the main bus station located near the waterfront. Purchase a ticket for a bus to Split. The bus ride takes approximately 1.5 hours. Upon arrival at the Split bus station, exit and walk towards the ferry terminal located nearby. Once there, take the ferry to Hvar. After reaching the ferry terminal in Hvar, follow the walking directions above to reach the Croatian Maritime Museum at Glagoljaška ul. 18.
