The main bus station in Zagreb (Autobusni kolodvor Zagreb) is located in Avenija Marina Držića 4.
Traveling from Zagreb to Split (and viceversa) by train
Traveling by train in Croatia is something I usually do not recommend; the trains are not very comfortable, frequently they are not in time, the journey is long (more than 6 hours, up to 8 hours, if they travel on schedule), the price is too high comparing to bus tickets (in average 30 EUR in one direction, in low season), and finally, my perception, is that it is not amomg the safest way of travel in Croatia (old railways, frequent accidents). However, though I do not recommend the train as a way to travel from Split to Zagreb (and viceveresa), you can find more info and buy your tickets at Croatian railways official site: Hrvatske željeznice - Croatian Railways. The tickets can be bought online within 2 months from your journey date. The main station in Zagreb is called Zagreb glavni kolodvor, address: Trg kralja Tomislava 12.
