Travel to Croatia

For a small country, Croatia packs a big punch. With so much to explore, it’s easy to see why this Balkan nation is fast becoming one of Europe’s top holiday destinations.
Highlights include the ancient cities of Dubrovnik and Split, the unique and beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park, and the stunning Dalmatian coast, peppered with over 1,000 islands.
While parts of Croatia are fairly touristy during peak seasons, it’s easy to get off the beaten path here and discover some real hidden gems. Getting around is cheap and hassle-free, either with your own car or using the country’s efficient public transport network.
It’s hard not to love Croatia. If you haven’t yet visited, be sure to add it to your list.
