Things to see and do
Croatia is truly an "on trend" destination. The attraction it exerts on tourists from around the world can be explained by its exceptional climate and beautiful coastline. But beyond the postcard cliché, Croatia is a fascinating country in many ways.
Croatian people and landscapes
We must admit that first and foremost Croatia means incredible scenery. Although the Dalmatian coast and islands leave a lasting impression, Croatian landscapes are far more than this. There are also beautiful mountains, majestic forests and green fields. Well aware of this major asset, Croatia has established eight national parks. The one that includes the Plitvice Lakes, near Zadar, is certainly the most amazing and most beautiful.
Croats have their own identity. They differ from their Balkan neighbours in their approach to life, which is decidedly Western. Their culture, tinged with Mediterranean exuberance and the warmth of Central Europe is really exciting. When you travel in Croatia, you will discover a welcoming and festive people. Cities such as Pula and Dubrovnik will seduce you with their rich history. Croatian museums ensure that these precious archaeological remains are preserved.
City of Arts
These historical wonders are complemented by an artistic tradition deeply rooted in the heart of the Croats. During the Renaissance, the country counted one of the greatest religious art schools. Later, Croatia was the birthplace of Ivan Mestrovic (1883-1962), a famous sculptor of the twentieth century. Today, the life of the country, especially in Zagreb, is marked by cultural events of international renown. Tributes to animation, jazz and folklore are a few examples of the great artistic development of Croatia.
