Solo Female Travel in Croatia

Family travel experience

I love Croatia! The people are very open, warm and welcoming. The prices in general are cheaper average I would say, of course there are cheaper and more expensive areas. But if you book some time in advance you can find pretty cheap accommodations. I felt all the time very safe. :)

Solo travel experience

This is one of my favorite moments in my solo trips. Since I took the bus in Milan to go to Zagreb overnight, I met a very kind old man that told me amazing stories… I was going for only 3 days and decided to stay longer and visit Trogir, Split and Dubrovnik. I loved the country but mostly I love their people 😃

Solo travel experience

The hole country is beautiful, beaches and cities. Museum of broken relationships is one of the most creative museums I’ve seen. Safe for women alone. The only thing is that in the countryside people speak German and not English as a second language.

Solo travel experience

Croatia is a great country, but there aren't many places to travel. You definitely need a map to avoid getting lost. I felt very safe in Croatia as the people were kind and helpful. The prices are at a normal level. Have fun!

Couple travel experience

I felt very safe, everyone is really pleasant. I recommend going island hopping. We did Hvar, Vis and Brac and it was so beautiful and amazing! Sometimes I found that hostels are even more pleasant than airbnbs. They have high scores, we stayed in two and were pleasantly surprised

Group travel experience

It was a great place. I always felt safe travelling with an all women group. The weather is insanely nice in the summer. Not too hot and overbearing. We stayed on an island nearby which was quite hard to get off from. The ferries were very irregular. So you had to make sure and ask locals whether they were actually going.

Solo travel experience

Croatia is an extremely safe place.  I did a cruise around the coast, but the transportation in both split and Dubrovnik felt safe and convenient . Since Croatia adopted the euro, it did not feel as cheap as neighboring eastern European countries . The people are friendly, the seafood is really fresh, and the food portions are generally quite large.  The weather in June it is extremely hot and I recommend positioning yourself near a beach as they are free to enter and extremely warm and clean.

Group travel experience

I went on the Best of Croatia: a Coastal Village tour with Road Scholar and it was phenomenal. A couple nights on land on either end of a seven-day small ship cruise with 16 passengers and 6 crew. They do have a single surcharge. But for a great educational, historical, and cultural experience where each stop was another World Heritage site, it couldn’t be beat. As is common with these trips, there were more women than men and the men were nearly all in couples. And people on the Road Scholar trips are generally intellectually curious and good company even for an extended trip. Road Scholar is for people over 50, so the participants do skew toward retirees.

Solo travel experience

Croatia is beautiful, rich in history and very safe, making it an ideal place for solo travel. I spent time in Dubrovnik, Pula, Zadar, Split and Sibenik. I definitely recommend all these cities, although Zadar and Sibenik were my favorites.

Solo travel experience

I visited Dubrovnik, Korčula, Hvar, Split, Zadar, and Trogir, which included renting a car in Split and driving to Krka National Park from Split, and then to Plitvice from Zadar. Croatia is absolutely beautiful and I felt completely safe there as a lone woman. I definitely recommend visiting if you haven't been there before.

As a woman, I felt very safe and everyone was extremely friendly and respectful, even in bars and clubs. I visited many places in the country, but I especially recommend Brela for a fantastic beach holiday. Zadar and Split are also great. Dubrovnik is beautiful, however, since Game of Thrones was filmed there, beware not to get caught in expensive tourist traps in the main parts of the city. If you're not interested in traveling to a big city, Primosten or Lovran are amazing smaller towns with plenty of attractions, beautiful bathing spots/beaches, and wonderful small restaurants.
