Solo Female Travel in Croatia

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.

Family travel experience

You Can find a cheap airbnb near the sera, and eat well (seafood mainly) in good restaurants for a reasonable amount of money. Back then, the flights were not so expensive, but I Heard it fends to be more expensive as the location is more popular. In terms of landscapes, Croatia is a must if tou like the sea but also the mountains. It's a poor country, there isn't big malls or things like that, even though the Big cities are beautiful. One advice: take your translator with you, not many people speak english

Group travel experience

I went to Croatia with my friends last year, we visited Zadar and Split and it was beautiful, we had no problems, everyone was very open and kind when we asked for directions or food recommendations, most of the people we spoke to had a good understanding of English. We felt very safe walking around the area and the town at night. The only thing I would like to say is that the shops can be overpriced in tourist areas, so if you plan to do some shopping, it may be worth haggling over the price you would be happy to pay, which we managed to do.

Solo travel experience

Hey! So i was a solo traveler in croatia (split) this year and it was amazing. I stayed in a hostel, where for me is the best thing to meet people while traveling alone! I met a lot of people there, people really come to you to talk. The prices are correct, just in some activities it can be expensive sometimes. I felt safe there even at night when i was alone, really recommend you this country. If you want to visit some places in Split: the marjan hill, the kasjuni beach (this one you really have to go!!!), krkra and the hvar island is also nice even if you dont have a lot to do there (lot of beach) but the 2 last pictures i put were there and the water is just wow.

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.
