Dubrovnik City Walls

Croatia

As a Game of Thrones fan, I was over the moon to finally visit Croatia. Here, you can visit filming locations from both King’s Landing (Dubrovnik) and Meereen (Split). But there are so many gorgeous places in this country. You can sail to islands like Lokrum and Hvar over the Adriatic or visit fairytale waterfalls in Krka, Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes. Let’s plan your legendary adventure in Croatia!

Things to know before visiting Croatia

  1. UK and European residents can travel for up to 90 days in Croatia for free.

  3. You can use Cruisemapper to track cruise ships and avoid the bigger crowds.
  4. Croatia now uses the Euro, but cash is still very much king!
  5. I found the bakery chain Mlinar a lifesaver in Croatia. You can find tasty and affordable coffee, pastries and sandwiches here.
