Festivals & Events
Immerse yourself in history by walking through walled cities. Dubrovnik is the undisputed jewel. Split pulsates around a Roman palace. Zadar combines Roman ruins with modern facilities. And Istrian cities like Rovinj and Poreč will transport you to the time of the Republic of Venice.
With more than a thousand islands, the choice is difficult. Hvar is the destination for glamor and party. Korčula offers history and vineyards. Brač has the famous Zlatni Rat beach. Vis is a haven of peace and authenticity. And the Kornati Islands are a nautical paradise of arid beauty.
Croatia is a paradise for nature lovers. Plitvice Lakes National Park is a spectacle of water and forest. In Krka National Park, you can bathe near waterfalls. The Kornati National Park archipelago is ideal for sailing. And the island of Mljet is a green and calm oasis.
Walk on the Walls of Dubrovnik
Get an unforgettable perspective of the city and the Adriatic by walking the almost 2 kilometers of medieval walls that surround the old town. Gazing at the sea of terracotta roofs, imposing towers and the infinite blue of the sea is the quintessential experience in Dubrovnik and will make you feel like you are in 'Game of Thrones'.
Stroll along the Plitvice Lakes Walkways
Enter a paradise of water and vegetation. This national park, a World Heritage Site, is a system of 16 lakes interconnected by waterfalls and waterfalls. Walking along its paths and wooden walkways over waters of an incredible turquoise color is a magical and overwhelming experience.
Living inside a Roman Palace in Split
The heart of Split is the enormous Diocletian's Palace, built in the 4th century. It is not a closed museum; It is the living center of the city, full of bars, restaurants and shops that occupy the old corridors and patios of the palace. Getting lost in its basement, its peristyle and its narrow alleys is a journey through time.
Sail between the Dalmatian Islands
Rent a boat or use the excellent ferry network to discover the magic of the Croatian islands. Jump from glamorous Hvar, with its nightlife and lavender fields, to historic Korčula, supposed birthplace of Marco Polo, or quiet and remote Vis, with its famous Blue Cave.
Listen to the Music of the Sea in Zadar
Sit on the steps of the Zadar promenade and listen to a unique melody. The Sea Organ is an art installation that uses the movement of waves to create random and melancholic sounds. It is especially magical during sunset, combined with the Sun Salutation light show.
Search Truffles in Istria
The Istrian peninsula, with its Italian feel, is famous for its truffles. Join a truffle 'hunting' excursion with trained dogs through the forests of the region and culminate the experience by tasting this delicacy in a plate of fresh local pasta, such as 'fuži'.
