Split, Group travel

Great city with lots of fun to do. Pretty good beaches but they were very crowded during high-season. Average food, great kebabs and desserts. Great nightclubs, big and good music. Nice people, felt safe most of the time but would be careful when walking alone at night.

Dalmatia, Couple travel

I went to Dalmatia with my boyfriend in April of this year, just after submitting my PhD thesis. We flew into Split and also stayed in Makarska and a couple of small villages in the mountains. We visited LjubuÅ”ki in Herzegovina as well. I loved being in Dalmatia. The weather was perfect, the food amazing and the people incredibly hospitable and welcoming. I adored the sea, the sun, the plants, the birds. I enjoyed veal cooked under the peka, paÅ”ticada, cheese burek, ćevapi with ajvar and...

Zadar, Couple travel

Very safe place. It is good if you want to relax, lie on the beach or see the waterfalls and beautiful nature. I don't recommend it if you want to explore a lot and see new things, zadar can be quite boring

Croatia, Group travel

I went for a city trip with a friend ( we were 2 girls) We never felt unsafe and it was beautiful. We visited Zadar; Plivice; Split and Zagreb. We didnt really like Zagreb as it is just a big city but for the rest, it was exceptionnel We didnt have the time to try the night life of Croatia so I do not really know at night how it is for a girl :(

Zagreb, Couple travel

Me and a friend went to the 80’s museum and to a vintage thrift Ulični ormar. We had lunch at Oaza kitchen. The thrift is very unique and lovely but expensive, and the Oaza kitchen is always my go-to. The 80’s museum is interesting, the owners even more šŸ™ƒ

Hvar, Solo travel

Island is beautiful, clear water and nice beaches with very good connections to other islands, so daily trips are also an option. Food and hospitality is the thing that can be much better, especially comparing to prices. Hvar as a city is beautiful by day and night too, but clubbing after 12 is not allowed.

Trogir, Family travel

It was a lovely small town with nice beaches. The old town where you can find beautiful spots to eat were not so expensive to expensive so you can find both. I would say if you wanted to go to museums it is kind of expensive in the town and there is not much to see but you are close to other cities so you can definitely explore there to but for a beach vacation it is the perfect spot with many nice beaches and a nice old town to come back to to eat something

Zadar, Solo travel

Zadar is a really small coast city, has a beautiful centre plus is really good for a relaxing days at the beach. I recommend 3 days there to enjoy and try to go for different beaches but rent a car if possible

Pula, Family travel

Nice! Went to hotel park plaza verrduela. Buses went frequently. Would recommend trying wake board from wires. We went late in September so it was a bit cold in the evenings, but sunny and hot at daytime.

Zivogosce, Family travel

amazing small town with a beautiful sea and beautiful people. me and my family went there and almost visit each year. the place is not overcrowded like the neighbour place of makarska. there are not many events as the town is very small, but sometimes the city organises dinners and pub concerts.

Trogir

You can walk alone by night. The streets feel calm, the sea air is peaceful, and there’s a quiet sense of safety in the city. Trogir is one of those rare places where even late nights feel slow, warm, and serene.

I felt really safe staying in Pula. The people and places I've been to have always been very lovely and not felt dangerous at all. I've made amazing kind-hearted friends and explored a lot by myself and never felt unsafe. :)

Zadar

Very safe town during the day. At night you shouldn't have any problem. There's local drunk people but they don't give you any hassle usually. There's local "hooligans" but if you don't give them the time of day they won't bother you.

This is a small place where people know you. They would help you if you need help, they will say hello during your walks and they would smile to you if you smile to them :) Its safe to walk at night, I've never heard of some kind of criminal or unpleasent situations.

Zagreb

I lived in Zagreb my entire life and I can tell you it's pretty safe. There's hardly been a report of theft, murder, assault or anything such those. I feel safe in Zagreb because I've not thought about being kidnapped or assaulted in any way, let alone being afraid of it.
