Things to See and Do on a Trip to Croatia

If you only have one chance to visit Croatia, make it count by exploring the country’s stunning Adriatic coastline, historic cities, and breathtaking islands. A classic Croatian vacation includes walking the ancient walls of Dubrovnik’s Old Town, wandering through Split’s Diocletian’s Palace, sailing around the Elaphiti Islands, and relaxing on the famous Zlatni Rat beach in Bol on Brač Island. Don’t miss the turquoise lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, the charming streets of Rovinj, and the lively cafés of Zagreb’s city center.

Head north to the Istrian Peninsula and discover its Venetian-influenced towns like Pula and Motovun. Sample truffles, olive oil, and local wines from the region’s rolling green hills.

Take a ferry to Hvar or Korčula for a taste of island life — sun-soaked beaches, vibrant nightlife, and fresh seafood by the sea. Each island has its own charm, from Hvar’s glamorous harbor to Korčula’s medieval walls.

For nature lovers, explore the untouched beauty of Krka National Park or kayak through the hidden coves of the Adriatic. You can also visit the Dalmatian hinterland for traditional villages, local wines, and authentic Croatian hospitality.
