Croatia is known for its long Adriatic coastline, hundreds of islands and medieval walled towns such as Dubrovnik and Split. Inland, the country hides one of the most beautiful national parks in Europe, the UNESCO-listed Plitvice Lakes. Sixteen terraced lakes connected by waterfalls and wooden boardwalks create a landscape that changes colour with the seasons. Our guide explains which route to choose, when to come to avoid the crowds and how to buy tickets. In this section you will find our Croatia guides with practical travel tips.
