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'.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'.
Croatian gastronomy is divided into two great worlds: coastal cuisine, with a clear Mediterranean (Italian) influence, based on fresh fish, seafood, olive oil and wine; and continental cuisine, more robust and with Central European influences (Hungarian and Austrian), where meats, stews and sausages dominate.
The 'konoba' is the traditional tavern of the coast. It is the best place to try authentic local cuisine in a rustic and family atmosphere. Here you will find simple but delicious dishes, based on the fresh produce of the day, from grilled fish to 'peka'.
They are the pillars of life on the coast. Istria, in particular, is famous for producing some of the best extra virgin olive oil in the world. The country also has a long winemaking tradition, with native varieties such as Plavac Mali (red) and Malvasía (white).
A star dish of the Dalmatian coast. It is a creamy seafood risotto, generally with cuttlefish or squid, which acquires its characteristic black color and intense sea flavor thanks to the squid ink.
More than a dish, it is a way of cooking. Meat (lamb or beef) or octopus is placed in an iron pot with potatoes and vegetables, covered with a dome-shaped lid ('peka') and slowly cooked under the embers of a fireplace for hours. The result is incredibly tender and tasty.
A typical Dalmatian festive stew. It consists of a round of beef marinated for hours (sometimes days) in vinegar and spices, then slowly braised in a sweet and sour sauce with wine, prunes and vegetables. It is traditionally served with gnocchi.
The most representative dish of Istria. 'Fuži' are fresh pasta rolled into a feather shape. They are served with a creamy sauce and plenty of black truffle or, if in season, the precious white truffle, grated on top.
One of the most famous cheeses in Croatia, from the island of Pag. It is a hard sheep's milk cheese with a salty and distinctive flavor, which is due to the fact that sheep graze on vegetation covered by salt carried by the wind.
Simplicity at its finest. Fresh fish of the day (bream, sea bass) grilled and seasoned simply with olive oil, garlic, parsley and lemon. The key is the freshness of the product.
The national fruit brandy, present throughout the Balkan region. It can be plum (šljivovica), grape (loza) or herbs (travarica). It is drunk as an aperitif or digestif, and is a symbol of welcome.
Croatia has a vibrant wine scene. On the coast, try the powerful reds from Plavac Mali or the aromatic whites from Malvasía and Pošip. In the interior, Graševina is the most popular white.
Two popular ways to drink wine in summer. 'Gemišt' is white wine mixed with sparkling water, while 'bevanda' is red wine mixed with still water. They are refreshing and light.
Coffee culture is essential. Croatians can spend hours on a terrace with an 'espresso' or a 'kava s mlijekom' (coffee with milk), chatting and watching life go by. It is a social act.
An elegant and delicate dessert, originally from Dubrovnik. It is an egg and milk flan flavored with rose or lemon liqueur, and covered with a layer of liquid caramel. Similar to crème brûlée or crème brûlée.
Small fried fritters, very popular on the coast, especially during the Christmas holidays. They are balls of spongy dough, often flavored with rum and citrus zest, and sprinkled with icing sugar.
A cream and puff pastry cake. It consists of a crispy puff pastry base, a very generous layer of light pastry cream, a layer of whipped cream and another layer of puff pastry on top. Samobor is the most famous.
The local version of crepes. They are thin and served rolled or folded, filled with jam, chocolate (such as Nutella) or ground nuts.
Croatia's diversity allows you to explore it from different perspectives, from its dazzling Roman heritage to its idyllic islands and natural landscapes.
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.
Follow in the footsteps of the Roman Empire at the Pula amphitheater, one of the best preserved in the world, or at Diocletian's palace in Split. For fans of 'Game of Thrones', Dubrovnik (King's Landing), Split (Meereen) and other places are mandatory stops.
Discover this region with a strong Italian influence. Explore hilltop towns like Motovun, taste their wines and olive oils, and search for truffles in their forests. Its coastline, with towns like Rovinj and Poreč, is equally charming.
Since January 1, 2023, Croatia's official currency is the Euro (€), which has made payments much simpler for travelers in the eurozone. Credit cards are widely accepted.
Most beaches in Croatia are not fine sand, but pebbles or rocks. It is highly recommended to wear water shoes or water shoes to walk comfortably along the shore and in the water, also to protect yourself from sea urchins.
The main ferry and catamaran company is Jadrolinija. In high season (July-August), it is essential to book tickets in advance, especially if you are traveling by car on popular routes, as places fill up quickly.
Tipping is not mandatory, but it has become common practice if the service has been good. In restaurants, it is common to round up the bill or leave 10%. In bars and cafes, you can leave change.
This guide is just the starting point for your trip to stunning Croatia. Each island has its own personality and each coastal city its own history. We encourage you to explore beyond the most famous places to discover secluded coves, authentic villages and warm Croatian hospitality. Uživajte! (Enjoy!)
