Dubrovnik
Known as the Pearl of the Adriatic, the seaport city of
Dubrovnik has long been one of the premier destinations
in the Mediterranean. In fact, during the Middle Ages,
it rivaled Venice in terms of commerce, culture and all-
around beauty. Apart from many miles of gorgeous coastline,
you'll also enjoy the Dubrovnik Highlands, where mountains
and pine forests serve as the setting for great hiking,
fishing and winter sports.
Zagreb
Croatia's capital is Zagreb, a 900-year-old city of cobblestone streets that resembles Vienna, Prague and other great Central European cities. A must-see in Zagreb is Kaptol, the medieval complex of churches, palaces and museums that provide a glimpse of Croatian history. Whether you visit the Upper Town or Lower Town areas, you're sure to find a great selection of restaurants, shopping and recreation. Nearby Medvedgrad Mountain and it's preserved fortress provide great vantage points from which you can take in the whole city.
Split
The Mediterranean city of Split offers a storied 1,700-year history that's just as impressive. At its historic center you'll find the remains of the Roman Diocletian Palace, and many other interesting archaeological and historic sites. For something a little more modern, check out the sunbathing scene at Bacvice beach and the city's many quaint cafes and restaurants.
Hvar
Hvar is a great summer and winter destination because of its accommodating climate. Behind its 700-year-old walls lies a cultural wellspring of museums, galleries and the oldest municipal theatre in Europe. |
