Europe Express: Best Of Croatia

UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Croatia

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.

Getting Around
 

It is best to get around by train or car rental. There are currently two domestic airlines that service Croatia but offer limited schedules. Ferries are the best option for reaching the islands - travelers should arrive at least two hours prior to departure.
