With its exotic shores, historical towns, quaint villages, breath-taking vineyards and classical architecture, Croatia is a land of limitless beauty and exotic charm. Nature here is pristine and diverse: from the Adriatic Sea to its high-rising mountains, to plains of Slavonia, and rolling hills of Istria and Zagorje. Croatia offers a lot of activities to do for all ages, all year round. A modern country with modern features, yet sporting a laid-back vibe, one experiences the best of both worlds: the energy of a fast-paced city with the relaxed ambiance of a coastal town.
Zagreb has culture, arts, music, architecture, gastronomy and all the other things that make a quality capital city. Visually a mixture of straight-laced Austro-Hungarian architecture and rough-around-the-edges socialist structures, this small metropolis is made for walking the streets, drinking coffee in the permanently full cafes, popping into museums and galleries, or enjoying the theatres, concerts and cinema. Indulge yourself in the capital’s growing reputation for artsy fun, extending into its nightlife, with cutting-edge clubs, live gig venues and summer festivals.

Plitvice Lakes National Park
A geologist’s wonder, a Monet’s greenery; hidden in Croatia’s rugged interior lies Europe’s most exotic hikes: Plitvice Lakes National Park, one of the oldest national park in southeast Europe. There’s nothing like this lush valley of 16 terraced lakes, laced together by waterfalls that gleam in brilliant shades of emerald green and sapphire blue, and miles of pleasant plank walks, unanimously deserving a spot in your Croatia travel planner. The waters that flow over the limestone and chalk, and have been doing so for thousands of years, have deposited travertine obstacles, creating natural dams which, in turn, have made a series of beautiful waterfalls, lakes and caves. The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species. There are a million ways to catch tiny rainbows as you wind around and above the bridal fair of lacy waterfalls.

Split
Split has a unique setting. Its dramatic coastal mountains act as the perfect backdrop to the turquoise waters of the Adriatic. Add the Diocletian’s palace to your Croatia itinerary planner, considered to be one of the most imposing Roman ruins, and the most valuable surviving buildings of the Roman era on the Adriatic coast. Today, these ruins lie in the heart of the city dotted with bars, restaurants and shops thriving amid the old walls. Be it a walk through the history, or a languid stroll on the Riva, or a ferry trip, eat, drink, and relax in this lively city, the perfect amalgamation of modern and the traditional.
