Croatia is a country of long tradition and history so it is no wonder that in such a small place there are eight sites under the globally protection of UNESCO. Come to Croatia today and find out what everyday life is like inside centuries-old walls, in Roman palaces, and discover many other sacral and historical heritage sites older than a thousand years.

1. Dubrovnik

The Old Town of Dubrovnik is a walking city. Jutting out into the sea and ringed by thick Medieval walls, the “pearl of the Adriatic” is a sort of living history museum. Inside the ramparts there are Baroque buildings and terra-cotta homes, narrow marble streets and a jumble of steep alleyways. Recommended Hotel: Hotel Excelsior Dubrovnik.

2. Split

Stretched across miles of sandy beaches, Split sits between soaring mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Begin with Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage site and a film location in the “Game of Thrones.” With more than 200 buildings, this city-within-a-city has its own food stalls, boutiques and a courtyard that’s often filled with music. Recommended Hotel: Hotel Marmont Heritage.

3. Zagreb

Unlike the seaside towns, Croatia’s capital is a sophisticated and livable city. Away from the tourists, the old Medieval town features a host of museums and art instillations, authentic culinary experiences and a lively cafe culture. There’s a central market square where travelers can shop for local treats as well as an open-air park ideal for picnicking. Recommended Hotel: Westin Zagreb Hotel.
