The best time to visit Croatia is between May and June or September and early October, when the weather is warm, the sea is pleasant for swimming, and crowds are smaller. July and August offer hot temperatures and a lively atmosphere, especially along the coast, but prices and visitor numbers are at their highest.

Croatia is part of the Schengen Area, so many travellers from the UK, EU, USA, Canada and Australia can enter for up to 90 days without a visa for tourism. Entry requirements can change, so it is important to check official government guidance before travelling to ensure your passport and documentation meet current rules.

Croatia can be moderately priced compared to other Mediterranean destinations. Coastal hotspots and peak summer months tend to be more expensive, particularly for accommodation and dining. Travelling in the shoulder season, booking in advance, and exploring inland regions can help keep your holiday more affordable.

Popular highlights include Dubrovnik's historic Old Town, Split's ancient Roman Palace, the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park, and the islands of Hvar and Korčula. Each region offers a mix of culture, coastline and natural beauty, making it easy to tailor your itinerary to suit your interests.

Croatia is an excellent destination for families, offering safe beaches, calm waters and a wide range of outdoor activities. Many resorts provide family-friendly facilities, and towns along the Adriatic coast have relaxed atmospheres with plenty of restaurants and attractions suitable for children.

Croatia uses the Euro (€) as its official currency. Credit and debit cards are widely accepted in hotels, restaurants and shops, particularly in tourist areas. However, it is advisable to carry some cash for smaller establishments, local markets and island destinations.

The Croatian islands are well connected by ferries and catamarans, especially during the summer season. Services operate from major coastal cities such as Split and Dubrovnik. Tickets can be purchased online or at port offices, and booking in advance is recommended in peak months.

Croatia is renowned for its clear Adriatic waters and scenic coastline. While many beaches are pebbled rather than sandy, they are clean and well maintained. From lively beach clubs to quiet coves on remote islands, there are options to suit both couples and families.

A stay of seven to ten days allows you to explore at least one coastal city, visit nearby islands and experience a national park. With two weeks, you can combine regions such as Dalmatia and Istria, enjoying a more relaxed pace and deeper cultural experiences.

Driving in Croatia is straightforward, with modern motorways connecting major cities and scenic coastal roads offering spectacular views. Car hire is widely available at airports and city centres. Keep in mind that tolls apply on certain motorways, and parking in historic towns can be limited.

Croatian cuisine varies by region, with fresh seafood dominating the coast and hearty meat dishes popular inland. Specialities include grilled fish, octopus salad, truffle dishes in Istria and traditional peka meals cooked under a bell-shaped lid. Local wines and olive oils are also highly regarded.

Croatia is considered a very safe destination for travellers, with low levels of violent crime. As with any holiday spot, it is wise to take standard precautions such as safeguarding valuables and being aware of your surroundings in busy tourist areas, particularly during peak season.
