Croatia Travel Guide

Croatia is crystal clear water, white shingle beaches, ancient walled towns, mountains, and a very rich cultural legacy. It is a haven for adventure, with incredible lakes, canyons, waterfalls, and more waiting to be explored.

Things to Do in Croatia

Start in picture perfect Dubrovnik and be stunned by this ancient coastal town with its baroque buildings, limestone streets, historic walls around the city, and endless stretches of the Adriatic. Visit cathedrals, museums, and explore the old city walls.

See how Croatia sits in the middle of different cultures with their history and influences very visible with Pula's ancient Roman arena, and the ancient Roman palace in Split. Head to Motovun, the hilltop town that feels Italian, or see how old meets new on the streets of Zagreb.

Explore Plitvice Lakes National Park with its clear water and waterfalls. Visit Brac beach, a stunning white shingle beach jutting out into the endless blue. Croatia is also home to many islands, visit Korčula for authentic charm, or Hvar to admire the private yachts being moored in the bay.

One of the best ways to explore Croatia is by boat, especially to see all the islands of the Dalmatian Coast which many say is the real heart of the country. See the national parks by day and spend the night in picturesque harbor towns.
