I visited Dubrovnik, Split, Trogir. Beautiful cities with amazing architecture, and well-preserved historical buildings, but incredibly huge crowds. In some places, there were so many people that it was impossible to walk around. Also very expensive. Food-wise it was wonderful. The nightlife in Split was fantastic. Rocky beaches and clean water.

Croatia was really stunning with many remarkable historical places. The weather was pleasant and sunny, but not too hot. Everyone speaks English, the roads are good, the buses and ferries are reliable. It is also very clean and safe. I began my trip in Zagreb, where I rented a car and drove to Plitvice Lakes National Park. Then I took the bus and ferry down the Adriatic coast, beginning in Zadar, then to Trogir, Split, Hvar, Korcula, and Mljet Islands, and ending in Dubrovnik. Croatia is a great place to visit.

Croatia is beautiful, full of culture, and very safe, making it a perfect spot for a solo vacation. I visited Dubrovnik, Pula, Zadar, Split, and Sibenik. I highly recommend all of these cities, but Zadar and Sibenik were my top picks.

Started in Zagreb and made my way down to Cavtat, with a detour to Hvar. Never felt unsafe or the need to "look over my shoulders". Carried a small backpack daily and never had to worry.

I have been to Croatia for 14 days last summer. We did Dubrovnik, Korčula, Hvar, Split and then Zadar. We flew to Dubrovnik after that we took the ferry to Korčula and again another ferry to Hvar. From Hvar we took another ferry to Split and then a bus to reach Zadar. The ferry was not very crowded since we were in May but I highly recommend booking it in advance in the high season. Also, the earlier ferries are cheaper. We stayed in Airbnb for all of our trips. Dubrovnik was awesome (a little crowded). Korčula was insane. It is a little more of a relaxed island. Wines tour, boats ride and bike rides. Hvar was beautiful but it is more expensive and more luxurious. Split was actually very nice. We also booked a tour to Krka Waterfalls which I cannot recommend enough.

Croatia is beautiful and pretty cheap. I went to Split, it has a lovely historic center but has beaches and mountains too. From there I went to Krka national park and Plitvice National Park. Also took a day trip to Mostar in Bosnia.

Great trip before Croatia became super popular. Did Split, Makarska and Dubrovnik over 16 days and had the chance to see beaches, forest, nature, old city of Dubrovnik and party! Super cheap, people are nice :)

I went to Split and Dubrovnik last year, both are beautiful, safe places with friendly locals. There was a straightforward bus that took me between both. Split had some great island hopping off the coast. In Dubrovnik I recommend checking out the cable car, it takes you up to an amazing view with a stunning restaurant at the top called Panorama Restaurant.

I visited Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, and Rovinj. I spent three or four days in Dubrovnik before heading up the coast. I spent way too much time in Dubrovnik for me albeit I enjoyed myself. For me the farther north I went the more I enjoyed it. In large part because when I travel I like to be surrounded by locals. Rovinj, on the Istrian peninsula, was by far my favorite.

TravelHave you been to Hideout Festival in Croatia? Any tips?
I‘m looking into a solo trip next Summer in Europe and Croatia is one of my stops. I’m considering going to Hideout Festival and wondered if anyone had any experience with hostels near by and the festival in general? Any tips on Croatia would also be amazing as I’ll be travelling afterwards.
Posted: November 12, 2022TravelWhat recommendations do you have for places to visit/things to do in Croatia next month?
Ladies, I’m doing my first mini solo trip next month to Croatia and I know it’s won’t be the best “weather wise” but if anyone has any recommendations of places to visit/things to do that would be much appreciated

Has anyone travelled to Montenegro from Dubronvik in October or off season? Can I purchase tickets on board the buses? Can I just buy the tickets at the station/on the bus?
