Explore: Croatia

When planning a European summer vacation, visiting Croatia and exploring its breathtaking nature is a perfect choice. This country is graced with an extensive and breathtakingly beautiful coastline. Its awe-inspiring landscapes and natural wonders encompass national parks and cascading waterfalls, while its coastal cities breathe life into its rich cultural and historical heritage. 

BREATHTAKING NATURE

Croatia doesn’t lack natural wonders. Plitvice Lakes National Park and Krka National Park's endless forests and incredible waterfalls will leave you breathless. These beautiful national parks are just two of many more in this naturally rich country. The national parks consist of various bodies of water, like rivers, lakes, and streams, seamlessly surrounded by limestone mountain ranges. 

Since 1949, Plitvice Lakes National Park has been the first park in Croatia to be recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park's most stunning feature is its magnificent cascading lakes, which transform into picturesque waterfalls that run directly into the crystalline Korana River. The jewel of this park is Gradinsko Lake.

Nature enthusiasts will savor a leisurely stroll through Krka National Park, where stunning lakes are embellished with charming wooden bridges. Winding hiking trails meander throughout this splendid park, offering endless exploration opportunities. Crystal-clear waters serve as a haven for an array of gentle creatures, enhancing the sense of unity with nature that one experiences while exploring this park.

MAGNIFICENT OLD CITIES

Having a long and interesting history, Croatia possesses some of the most beautiful, remarkably preserved coastal cities that enrich its culture and are on the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Walking the streets of these cities while overlooking the crystalline Adriatic Sea can take you back in time or into the world of Game of Thrones, as many scenes in the series feature some of these architectural masterpieces. The Old City of Dubrovnik is surrounded by massive 16th-century stone walls which help paint the picture of a bygone era. This mesmerizing city welcomes travelers to wander its shops, cafes and restaurants while soaking in the picturesque views it has to offer. The famous port town, Split, lies inside the ancient Roman walls. Strolling through this town feels like walking through the palace corridors while still feeling the sea breeze on your skin. Venture beyond and discover the diverse urban landscapes this country proudly presents, including the ancient allure of Pula, with its majestic Roman Amphitheater; the coastal charm of Zadar, home to the unique Sea Organ; the timeless beauty of Trogir, encased within medieval walls; and the picturesque streets of Rovinj, rising dramatically from the Adriatic.  Each city weaves its own unique narrative of cultural heritage and architectural marvels, promising unforgettable exploration of their historical depths and iconic features.
