"CROATIA" Croatia by acemj

Croatia Travel Guide: 16,212 reviews and 34,022 photos

My Croatian experience took me to Zagreb, Split, Dubrovnik and Trogir. Certainly these four cities are worthy of any Croatian highlight reel, but to say that I've seen it all, would be ridiculous. There's so much more to Croatia and I definitely hope to return one day.

Check out my individual city pages for more detailed information. There you'll find stories of meeting great new friends, eating good food, seeing amazing natural beauty and even one harrowing story of a mugging in Split. For now, I hope you enjoy my highlight reel.

Hi! I am considering a trip to Croatia in Oct, for 10 days, and I was wondering if you could suggest an itinerary. By the way, how did you end up in Phil? It's a great city. I have been in DC for ten years, but my family is in northeast PA. Warmly, Marie

I always find difficult to build a single page on a country. Your Croatia page is a model. I already knew that Zagreb missed in my knowledge of Croatia. You have even more convinced me! My Croatia page gives the truth on the Zinfandel-Dingac relationship

I have never been to Croatia, but hope to visit one day. The Croatian coast looks so beautiful!
