Croatia is one of Europe’s most beautiful countries, and with many miles of stunning coastline, and Mediterranean cuisine, it is a fantastic place to visit. It is also relatively cheap compared to much of Italy and Greece and should be a priority for anyone looking for a beach holiday with great culture and history. Here are three of the best places to visit in Croatia.
Dubrovnik
Dubrovnik is famous for its beauty, and as well as being known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A city with many medieval remains intact, the Old Town of Dubrovnik features stunning architecture, cobbled streets, and fascinating historical landmarks. Dubrovnik also has some of the best stretches of coastline a city can offer, and many small islands that are just a short boat trip away.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
Plitvice Lakes National Park is another UNESCO World Heritage Site that Croatia has to offer. This natural wonder is famous for its stunning waterfalls and amazingly clear lakes. The park also has swathes of incredible pristine forests to explore and is a must-see for nature lovers.
Split
Split has an incredible history and boasts Diocletian’s Palace, the former residence of the Roman Emperor. To this day, the palace complex makes up an important part of Split’s center, and you can stroll through the streets and see historical monuments at every turn. Split also has a vibrant atmosphere and lively culture if you want to soak up some of the local ambiance.
