In a sentence, you could say that Croatia is a country of great variety, from the scenic azure seaside, to the mountains, hilly landscapes and then to the golden valleys – in only a few hours. Not many countries can offer such diversity and the experience of seeing different landscapes and even climate in such a short period of time.

Take your pick and enjoy the crystal clear Adriatic Sea with its 1246 islands, or breathtaking mountains with many national parks – among them Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is on the UNESCO World Heritage list, or relax in the continental part of Croatia with amazing wines and local homemade delicacies. Croatia is generally a foodie’s paradise because it has a unique blend of traditional food and modern restaurants, with autochthonous local wine varieties due to the excellent climate, homemade olive oil and coffee shops everywhere you go. 

Croatia’s historic and cultural heritage is also one of a kind as the country has had a turbulent history and used to be a part of the Roman Empire and Habsburg Monarchy but there are also many sites that witnessed the Medieval and even prehistoric times. Such as the Roman Colosseum in Pula; the Baroque old town of the city of Osijek, Tvrđa; Krapina Neanderthal Museum – telling us the 125,000 year old history of the evolution of humans found at the location; and the beautiful medieval Trakošćan Castle in northern Croatia.
