About Croatia

Located in the Balkans region of Central Europe, Croatia has become one of Europe’s top tourist destinations again since its War of Independence in the late 1990s. Like much of Europe, Croatia boasts its share of medieval cities and historical monuments, but what makes the country exceptional is its wealth of stunning natural attractions such as the Plitvice Lakes. Known for its stunning turquoise colors, hundreds of waterfalls and diverse wildlife, the Plitvice Lakes are a must-see when visiting Croatia.

Some of the notable cities in Croatia include the capital city of Zagreb. In addition to a charming historic center with cobblestone streets and medieval architecture, Zagreb has a vibrant arts and culture scene as well as an abundance of shopping and nightlife. Often called the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” Dubrovnik is Croatia’s leading tourist destination. Considered one of the most beautiful cities in the Mediterranean, Dubrovnik offers a full range of stunning architecture, historical sites, artwork, and beautiful beaches. Additionally, Croatia has one of the most beautiful coastlines in Europe with stunning islands like Mljet with its lush forests and quaint villages, and Hvar with its picturesque vineyards, medieval remains, and lively nightlife.
