Dubrovnik Vacations
Dubrovnik is one of Croatia's most popular cities, and it's not for nothing that it's often called the "Pearl of the Adriatic". The city is a bit special with its mighty walls that wind around the entire old part. The walls actually offer some pretty awesome views of the sea. Inside the old city center, you can wander around winding alleys, maybe get lost for a while, and stumble upon small squares where there's always something to look at. There are plenty of churches and grand old palaces, many dating back to the Middle Ages. It's precisely the combination of historical atmosphere, coastal location and the entire cultural life that makes Dubrovnik a favorite among Croatian travel destinations. It's actually hard not to be charmed by this incredible coastal city.
Split Vacations
Split is a lively coastal city with a mix of culture, urban culture and modern city life. In the centre of the city stands Diocletian's Palace, a Roman palace from the 4th and 5th centuries that is still an active part of the city with restaurants, shops and housing. It is as if you are returning to the past when you walk through the palace's alleys, but you are always there because its rhythm is still with you. There are cafes and restaurants scattered along the Riva promenade where you can sit and eat and drink while enjoying the view of the sea. Split is also a great place to visit islands such as Hvar and Brač and should be a good starting point if you want to leave one of Croatia's favorite places to visit more of the country.
Travel to Zagreb
Zagreb is the capital of Croatia and offers a different side of the country compared to the coastal cities. Here you will see a charming city with historic quarters, parks and a rich cultural life. The upper part of the city, Gornji Grad, has cobbled streets, churches and views of the city, while the lower part has shopping, restaurants and a more modern city life. Zagreb is known for its many museums, café culture and relaxed atmosphere. The city offers an insight into everyday Croatian life and is a perfect complement to a trip along the coast.
