About Croatia
Overview
Croatia is a land of ancient ruins, magnificent waterfalls, lavender fields, and a mix of Roman, Renaissance and Baroque architecture. This small country boasts 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the oldest being Plitvice Lakes National Park, home to 16 crystal-clear lakes that due to their minerals and organisms, as well as the positioning of the sun, will change color from turquoise to blue, to aquamarine, to green. Nicknamed “The Pearl of the Adriatic”, the coastal city of Dubrovnik is a medieval walled city, whose bastions, forts, and towers were built between the 12th and 15th centuries. Famous not only for its breathtaking scenery, Dubrovnik, with its medieval and dramatic architecture, was the backdrop for the filming of Game of Thrones.
Disclaimer: Space is a precious commodity in Europe, especially in its most dense cities, be prepared for smaller hotel rooms. The same goes for bathrooms and elevators, don’t be surprised if they feel cozier than those in the US.
