Many peoples have left stone and cultural testimonies in Croatia. Greeks, Romans, Venetians, Habsburgs: Ancient sites such as the amphitheater in Pula and the city walls in Dubrovnik are worth the trip alone. Nature boasts islands and waterfalls, national parks, snow-capped mountains and large forests where, with luck, brown bears, lynx and wolves can be spotted. Parts of the Winnetou films were shot in the country’s national parks. The long coast shines with crystal clear water and many sunny days. Every year the beaches are awarded the “Blue Flag” for their clean water. And Croatia is easy to reach by car, at least from southern Germany. This saves the cost of flights and rental cars and life on site is also cheap. Click through the most beautiful vacation spots!
The 10 most beautiful places in Croatia
There is no way around Dubrovnik. The “Pearl of the Adriatic” is considered the most beautiful city in the country – with its squares, cobbled streets, magnificent palaces, churches, museums and fountains, all built from the same light-colored stone. A stroll on the city wall of Dubrovnik – with its 16 towers one of the best preserved in the world – is not only breezy, the view over the city and the sea is stunning.
