Croatia
Travel to Croatia for a holiday or city break
Some come for the coast, some for the figs, others just want a gelato without a queue longer than a Balkan summer. The Old Towns—yes, plural—are not just for the history buffs but also for people who like to accidentally photobomb wedding shoots. Locals will tell you about the sea urchins, but only after you've stepped on one. When searching for the best hotel in Croatia, you may find yourself staring at a hill, then a beach, then a hill again, then realising the best view is actually from the bakery. Ferries are a thing, especially if you forget your car on the mainland. Renting a bike is easy, riding it up hill in Split is another story. You will hear music in the squares, sometimes from a festival, sometimes from that one guy with the accordion who knows only one song.

Travel destination popular things to do or visit in Croatia
Dubrovnik walls draw travelers like moths to a lamp, but the steps? They’re everywhere, so bring shoes that don’t squeak. Plitvice Lakes National Park offers lakes, waterfalls, sometimes fish that seem to follow you for a snack. Some say the water is blue, others say green, but everyone agrees it’s wet. If you squint, you might spot a local pretending not to laugh at tourists in flip-flops.
Island hopping is a local sport, especially if you’re chasing the sun or the last ferry before sunset. In Hvar, people sit in cafes, pretending to read, really just eyeing the boats. The best hotel in Croatia could be hiding in a lavender field, or behind a weathered stone wall—good luck, Sherlock. In Zagreb, trams run on time, except when they don’t, and the Museum of Broken Relationships waits for those who lost their sunglasses or maybe their hearts. Foodwise, try the burek, just don’t ask what’s inside—mystery is part of the flavor, trust me.
