Explore Croatia's cities
From cosmopolitan Zagreb to the cobbled streets and UNESCO sights of Dubrovnik, the cities of Croatia have plenty to offer. The ancient port city of Split boasts sapphire waters and mesmerising Roman ruins, whilst the northern city of Varaždin is the country’s old Baroque capital. With all those beach towns calling, don’t be tempted to miss the inland capital of Zagreb – it’s a quirky, beautiful city that can easily rival the more well-known sights of Budapest or Vienna.
Enjoy beautiful beaches and islands
Whilst Croatia doesn’t offer long stretches of tropical white sands, its rocky coves and sparkling clear waters are undeniably beautiful. The island of Hvar offers a chic port and glamorous nightlife, whilst the Dalmatian island of Brac is known for its striking beach of Zlatni Rat, sitting against a backdrop of rugged mountains. To get to the stunning Šunj Bay on Lopud Island, you’ll need to catch a ferry from Dubrovnik and hike through charmingly rocky and rugged terrain – but it’s well worth the trip.
Discover national parks
As well as its dazzling coastlines and acres of history, Croatia also offers a spectacular landscape of tumbling waterfalls, rugged mountains and luscious forests to explore. In fact, almost 10% of Croatia is made up of national parks. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site, the magnificent Plitvice National Park is home to 16 striking lakes that are famous for their breath taking colours. For active types, Mljet National Park offers kayaking, hiking and swimming set to a backdrop of stunning scenery. Swim in the magnificent waterfalls of Krka National Park or hike into the Manita Peć caves at Paklenica National Park.
