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 :)

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

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.

Solo travel experience

Love Croatia! I flew in/out of Split, went directly from Split to the island of Vis for 2 nights (it was a very long travel day), 2 nights in Hvar, 2 nights in Korcula (loved this island the most, it’s quaint), a few nights in Dubrovnik and then I drove the highway to Plitvice National Park for 2 nights

Couple travel experience

We spent two weeks there last summer. Our itinerary: Zagreb for 2 nights, Rovijn for 2 nights, Plitvice for 1 night (we had a private guide which is highly recommended. A lot of very interesting information), Šibenik for 2 nights, Split for 2 nights and dropped off the car, Hvar for 3 nights, Dubrovnik for 3 nights and then flew home. We absolutely loved it!

Solo travel experience

I recently returned from my first solo trip to Croatia, and it was an incredible experience. I boarded a small ship, and everyone on board was fantastic; we had an absolute blast. The country itself is stunning, and the locals were all very friendly. One of the highlights of my trip was biking on Mljet, which was an unforgettable experience. Korcula was also breathtaking, and I enjoyed strolling around the city, as well as doing buggy rides. Additionally, I went ziplining in both Split and Krka National Park, which were both thrilling experiences. Overall, I highly recommend visiting Croatia as it offers so many exciting opportunities for adventure and sightseeing.

Solo travel experience

My first solo trip ever was to Croatia, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. I spontaneously decided to go, and I have no regrets. My favorite destinations were Dubrovnik and Hvar, but Split and Korcula were equally charming. While in Split, I highly recommend taking a day trip to visit the stunning KRKA waterfalls and/or the mesmerizing blue caves. Overall, Croatia has so much to offer, and it is an ideal location for a solo adventure.

Solo travel experience

Croatia felt very safe and was rather inexpensive compared to a lot of Europe. Dubrovnik felt safe--walked around it a lot and visited the sites. I am not a club person so I tend to have a late dinner and then go back to the hotel (or eat there) and watch TV--I watch local channels to get a more in-depth feel for the culture.

I've been twice in Croatia and found Split very touristic and not so clean while Dubrovnik had more to offer as a city and the streets were clean and nice to walk around. The annoying part was the almost no beach but then I think is worth it to go for a nice getaway to an island.
