Trip Summary
3 nights in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is aptly surnamed the 'Pearl of the Adriatic.' It is one of the most beautiful cities on the Croatian coast. Many buildings in the old city center testify to its glorious past and its Venetian influence. The ancient walls of Dubrovnik girdle a perfectly preserved complex of public and private, sacred and secular buildings representing all periods of the city's rich history, beginning with its founding in the 7th century. In 2019, Dubrovnik celebrates 40 years of being listed on UNESCO's register of World Heritage Sites. Nowadays, Dubrovnik is a tranquil touristic and cultural center hosting many musical, art and theater events year round.

Explore the Dubrovnik's Old Town, Lapad, Babin Kuk, Gruz, Church of St. Blaise, Dubrovnik Cathedral, Fort Bokar, Fort Imperial, Minceta Tower, Fort of St. John, Lokrum Island, Rector's Palace, Luza Square, Pile Gate, Ploce Gate, and so much more.



2 nights in Makarska Riviera

For thirty-seven miles along the Dalmatian coast from the Cetina River Valley down to the Neretva Delta, the charming towns and villages of the Makarska Riviera are some of the most-visited in all of Croatia. The towns are hemmed in between the Adriatic Sea and the Biokovo Mountains and offer some truly picture-postcard moments, and a dozen-plus beaches dot the coastline.

Explore and wander Brela, Podrace Beach, Baska Voda, Promajna, Makarska, Tucepi, Podgora, Igrane, Zivogosce, Gradac, Nugal Beach, Malacological Museum, Shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes, Biokovo Nature Park, Punta Rata, and so much more.



2 nights in Split

Split is the second-largest city in Croatia, and its history stretches back over 1,700 years. Listed on the register of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Diocletian's Palace is the gem of the Old Town, a pedestrianized zone which includes the beautiful riverwalk called Riva. Buzzing shops, restaurants, and bars are situated alongside monuments and buildings dating from the Roman era. The dramatic backdrop of mountains bleeds into the sea, giving an atmospheric setting to this stunning city.

Visit Split's Old Town, Diocletian's Palace, Bacvice, Marjan, Mestrovic Gallery, Klis Fortress, Diocletian's Palace, Riva, Gregory of Nin statue, Chapel of St. Arnir, Diocletian's Cellars, Peristyle, Republic Square, People's Square, and so much more.



2 nights in Plitvice Lakes

The Plitvice Lakes are located in the national park of the same name in central Croatia, close to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, connected to the Adriatic coast by highway. The sixteen lakes are spread out across a five-mile decline from north to south, with all the lakes connected by waterfalls and tributaries amongst a backdrop of stark karst and beautiful foliage. One of the most popular sights in Croatia, it is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, boasting over 1.5 million visitors in 2018 alone.

Visit and explore the Plitvice Lakes National Park, Plitvicka Jezera, Jezerce, Rudanovac, Vrelo Korenicko, Vranovaca, Korenica, Poljanak, Smoljanac, Grabovac, Rakovica, Lake Kozjak, and so much more.



2 nights in Zagreb

Zagreb is the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative center of Croatia. It is known as the City of Museums, as there are more of them per square foot than any other city in the world. Zagreb is a vibrant, modern destination with a variety of shops, quality restaurants and sports and recreation facilities. The historical part of the city to the north is comprised of the Upper Town and Kaptol, a medieval urban complex of churches, palaces, museums, galleries and government buildings. Of particular note is the breathtaking Gothic-style Zagreb Cathedral, from which the entire city was born.

Explore the Kaptol, Upper Town, Lower Town, Zagreb Cathedral, St. Mark's Church, Art Pavilion, Mestrovic Pavilion, Mimara Museum, Lotrscak Tower, Kamenita vrata, Ilica, King Tomislav Square, Lenuci's Horseshoe, Ban Josip Jelacic Square, and so much more.

Croatia

<b>Croatia</b> is a fast-growing European travel destination, as Americans are discovering a destination that Europeans have visited for decades. It has some of the most popular beaches in Europe, with the numerous islands offshore considered to have the best beaches. Croatia is also known for its history and natural beauty, offering opportunities for outdoor activities such as hiking, kayaking, and mountain climbing at its many national parks such as Plitvice Lakes. It also offers the chance to learn about Croatian history by visiting its many walled cities (such as Dubrovnik, Trogir, and Korcula), Roman-era buildings (of which Diocletian's Palace is perhaps the best known), and religious buildings such as Zagreb Cathedral in the country's exquisite capital.
