What is Croatia known for?

Must-see landmarks

The superb walled city of Dubrovnik, its medieval bastions rising vertically from the sea, is known as the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’. Everyone from George Bernard Shaw to the King of Jordan have been beguiled by its cobbled streets and old world charm. See the Rector’s Palace, Onofrio’s fountain and the Franciscan and Dominican monasteries. A little up the coast is Korcula, a mini-fortress encased in honey-colored walls, which rivals Dubrovnik as top jewel in Croatia’s crown. The UNESCO protected city of Split is a town within town, a maze of cobbled alleys and marbled flagged courtyards – the remnants of a Roman Emperor’s palace. Today’s cafés, bars, and shop-keepers ply their trade from the same facades carved some 1700 years ago. Away from the coast you’ll find primeval national parks like the Plitvice Lakes, which hosts striking azure waterways, cascading falls and thick woodland sheltering abundant wildlife.

Be sure to check out the fascinating capital city of Zagreb. Explore the mazes of the upper and lower town, majestic cathedral, Archbishop’s Palace, St. Marks Church and the Opera House for a varied overview of the city. Croatia also boasts the world’s best sunsets (Alfred Hitchcock was a huge fan!) So you’d be psycho to pass up a dinner cruise on a fisherman’s boat while the sun takes its nightly bow!
