Top places to visit in Croatia
Split
Tucked away on the Adriatic coast, Croatia’s second-largest city is home to some of the region’s best seafood, including black cuttlefish risotto and fresh oysters, so make sure you get stuck in. Once you’ve filled your belly, we recommend exploring Split’s beautiful churches and elegant streets.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is known for its distinctive 16th-century Old Town. Vast old stone buildings and ancient city walls mean there’s history galore in this pocket-sized city, which you can explore through its array of museums and landmarks. Whether you’re wandering down limestone streets or drawn to the Adriatic, you’ll want to return.
Plitvice Lakes
Arguably Croatia’s most photogenic national park, Plitvice comprises a series of turquoise lakes connected by tumbling waterfalls and hemmed in by densely forested hills. Here, you can wander the scenic wooden pathways and bridges on foot or take an electric boat across the crystalline water.
Hvar
One of Europe’s most laid-back capitals, Zagreb is perfect for exploring on foot. Discover the medieval cobblestone streets of the Upper Town, its picturesque red-roofed skyline peppered with church spires, or head to the grittier Lower Town where you’ll find street art, cafe culture and hipster clubs.
