Country
Travelling through any of Croatia’s regions offers immense and rich experiences to every visitor. From the coastal to the continental parts, Croatia’s rich cultural heritage combined with its magnificent natural beauties make it the perfect place to spend your vacation. The capital of Croatia is Zagreb, a charming medieval city of exceptional beauty known for its spirit and architecture, with a population of approximately 1 million. The city with a tradition of almost one thousand years celebrated in 1994 its 900th birthday. Over the years, Zagreb has become the scientific, political and economic center of Croatia.
The uniqueness of Croatia lies in its diversity. Situated between the Alps and the Adriatic Sea, Croatia provides visitors with the opportunity to ski in the winter and swim during the summer months, all within driving distance. With its 1.185 islands, islets and reefs, it is the most diverse coast on the Mediterranean. There are seven national parks in Croatia, three being in the mountainous regions (Risnjak, Paklenica and Plitvička Jezera), and four in the coastal regions (Kornati, Brijuni, Krka and Mljet).
To mention a few, Croatia is home to the Old City of Dubrovnik, Diocletians Palace in Split, Euphrasies Basilica in Poreč, the lakes Plitvička Jezera and many others. Croatia boasts the largest number of developed settlements in southeast Europe, in addition, many of which date back to Roman and medieval times. Rarely can you find so many examples of cultural and historical significance from different periods in such a small region.
City
Split is the second largest city in Croatia, and the regional capital of Dalmatia, built inside and around the historical Diocletian's Palace from the third century, included in the UNESCO world heritage list. Many of Split's historical and cultural monuments are located within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. One of them is Peristile, the main open space in the palace with its colonnade of six columns and the cathedral on eastern side.
Split has its own airport that connects it with Zagreb, as well as other international cities. Various ferry lines connect Split with the nearby Adriatic islands and there is a coastal ferry service between the city and Rijeka to the north and Dubrovnik to the south. There are also daily ferries during the summer that connects Split and Ancona in Italy.
George Bernard Shaw described the city of Dubrovnik as "the pearl of the Adriatic" and said wrote home saying ""those who seek paradise on Earth should come to Dubrovnik," and it is true that many who have visited this sea-side crown jewel have remained both enchanted and amazed with the coastal beauty found here and the charm of the old town, which became a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1979.
