DUBROVNIK
One of the best-preserved medieval walled cities in Europe, Dubrovnik was Croatia’s biggest attraction even before Game of Thrones decided to film scenes from King’s Landing here. Since then, it’s been one of the most popular cities in the world, with fans flocking from far and wide to see the setting for their beloved show. .
This UNESCO World Heritage Site really is a gem worth visiting. The historic Old Town is filled with old stone buildings, cobblestone streets and deep history — a history that can still be seen on buildings and felt among locals. Marvel at baroque churches sit on grand squares, take the cable car up to Mt Srđ, which rises directly behind the old town, to watch the sunset glint off the rooftops, then dip into the Adriatic sea.

ROVINJ
According to the many, Rovinj is one of the most romantic places in the Mediterranean. Crowded, colorful houses, narrow streets and small squares are guarded by the baroque St. Euphemia’s church. Once in Rovinj, you can start your exploration in the Old Town, where life started on what used to be an island secured by medieval walls. Take a relaxing walk to the top of the Old Town, see the magnificent St.Euphemia’s church and climb its bell tower, from which you can see all the way to Venice, weather permitting. Another Rovinj highlight is the waterfront promenade, the longest in Istria. Here is the Italian flair especially present. Stroll and enjoy in the numerous street cafes with southern ease. The picturesque fishing port and the chic marina make the Mediterranean atmosphere just perfect.

Croatia has been high on my list of places I want to go to in Europe for a while now! I won’t be there in 2021 but I am planning for 2022, this information will still help me a lot while I am still trying to figure out exactly where I want to go!
What a gorgeous article, I could look at these photos all day! We are planning to travel to Croatia in a few years and I saved this article since it has so much useful information. I am especially looking forward to seeing Diocletian’s Palace and the Cathedral of St. James.
Croatia has been on our list for a long time, your article is great for people that have never been like us! Maybe this year… 🙂
Croatia is on the top of my bucket list! I can’t wait to visit the Unesco World Heritage sites there. The water looks so inviting and the cities look amazing.
I have been to Croatia and from your list have visited Split and Dubrovnik. I would love to go back and visit the islands during the summer. Croatia is truly breathtaking. I would also love to spend time exploring the north section, like Istria and Pula.
These places are on my bucket list for ages, especially Hvar! I am visiting soon this beautiful island with https://yachting.com/en-gb/croatia-yacht-charter.
