Croatia Highlights

So, why should you choose Croatia?

With sensational sights, breathtaking landscapes and plenty of sunshine, there’s always something to keep you entertained. The north of Croatia is home to the beautiful Istrian Peninsula, an area where the borders and rulers have changed many times during the past, making it immensely rich in history. Here, you’ll find the cities full to the brim with Balkan beauty, such as Porec, Rovinj and Pula, all boasting iconic landmarks ranging from Venetian Gothic palaces to a remarkable Roman amphitheatre.  

Searching for outstanding natural beauty? From the cascading emerald lakes, dramatic waterfalls and lush greenery of Croatia’s National Parks to the architectural treasures and ancient monuments of capital Dubrovnik, Croatia’s scenery is second to none; it’s no surprise that areas up and down the country have been used as set locations for Game of Thrones!  

And, if that wasn’t enough, the panoramic seascapes, golden beaches and character-clad port towns along the 1,300km of spectacular Adriatic Coastline are certain to leave a lasting impression.

Food and Drink

Black Risotto

Even though it looks a little out of the ordinary, crni rizot (black risotto) is delicious and you’ll find it in every seafood restaurant in Croatia. The dark colour comes from squid ink, and it is normally made with either cuttlefish or squid.

Wine

Whilst Croatia isn't known for its wine, the country has a long winemaking heritage spanning back 4,000 years and is home to more than 130 grape varieties – so there’s sure to be one that takes your fancy! Two of the most popular wines are Plavac Mali and Pošip, red and white respectively.

Peka

A popular dish in Croatia, peka is made by baking meat, seafood or vegetables with potatoes, oil and spices under a bell-shaped lid. It is then placed in a fireplace and the lid is covered with hot ashes, leaving to bake for a few hours.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik Highlights

Old City Walls 

A walk around the remarkable city walls is a must for anyone visiting Dubrovnik, and fans of Game of Thrones might recognise some areas used in filming! Take in the spectacular sea and city views as you make your way round, with highlights including the Minceta Tower, Fort Lovrjenac, Revelin Fortress and Bokar Tower. 

Loggia Square 

Home to some of Dubrovnik’s most famous buildings and monuments, Loggia Square has long been a gathering point for citizens and visitors. Admire Orlando’s Column and the famous Loggia of the Bells, which were both built by sculptor Antonio Ragusino, with other highlights including Onofrio Fountain, the Church of St. Blasise and Sponza Palace. 

Dubrovnik Cathedral 

Also referred to as the Assumption Cathedral, the magnificent Dubronvik Cathedral was built on the site of an older cathedral dating back to the 7th century. Designed in Baroque style by Andrea Buffalini, the interior is just as impressive as the exterior, with jewels, reliquaries and artistic treasures such as the Virgin of the Chair by Raphael.  


Split

Split Highlights

Diocletian’s Palace 

The UNESCO-listed Palace of Diocletian is one of the most remarkable Roman monuments in the world, and should be at the top of any list when visiting Split. Its basement was used as a set location for Game of Thrones, and other notable attractions within the palace include the Temple of Jupiter, Brace Radica Square and Cathedral of St. Domnius.  

Klis Fortress 

Built into a rocky ridge in the mountain pass between Mosor and Kozjak, Klis Fortress controls the valley that leads into Split. Inside, a small museum features displays about the castle’s history, and there is also a room dedicated to Game of Thrones. The views from the top are breathtaking, taking in Split, the Adriatic Sea and the islands beyond.  

Meštrović Gallery 

Along with being the most respected artist in Croatia, Ivan Mestrovic is considered one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. At this fascinating art museum you’ll see a well-arranged collection of his works and artefacts, including paintings, statues, furniture, as well as archive materials documenting his life.  


Porec

Porec Highlights

Euphrasius Basilica 

As the Mediterranean’s best preserved monument of early Byzantine art, the Euphrasius Basilica has earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Renowned for its beautiful mosaics on gold backgrounds, highlights include a 4th century sarcophagus holding the remains of St. Maurus and a 13th century ciborium. 

Porec Museum 

Housed in the 18th century Baroque Palace of Sinčić, the Porec Heritage Museum is the oldest museum in Istria. Boasting 41 fascinating collections with more than 15,000 artefacts from prehistoric times to present day, find everything from pottery fragments to religious paintings. 

Old Town 

Brimming with historic sights and cultural riches, the old town is a delight to wander through. As you admire the architecture of the old town’s main streets, Decumanus and Cardo Maximus, you’ll see remnants from Porec’s turbulent past. 


Pula

Pula Highlights

Roman Amphitheatre  

Dating back to the 1st century, the Roman Amphitheatre is the most famous and important sight in Pula. It was once the stage of gladiator fights, entertaining crowds of up to 25,000, and is now used for events such as the Pula Film Festival and music concerts. Once inside, you can climb the stone walls and visit the underground chambers, which were used to house wild animals!   

Temple of Augustus  

Dedicated to the first Roman emperor, the Temple of Augustus was most likely built sometime between 2 BC and AD 14. After being hit by a bomb in WWII, archaeologists rebuilt and reconstructed the monument. The front porch features six grand Corinthian columns, and inside you can view a collection of Roman artefacts.

Triumphal Arch of the Sergi 

Honouring three males from the Sergii family, the Triumphal Arch of the Sergi was erected after the Battle of Actium. Take a closer look at you’ll find friezes depicting cupids and garlands, and a Hellenistic style relief showing a horse-drawn battle chariot. There is an inscription which states the monument was funded by Salvia Postuma, the wife of Lucius Sergii.
