Croatia Travel Guide

Croatia's Adriatic coast reaches its most dramatic point at Dubrovnik, a walled medieval city stepping straight down to the sea — real, intact history rather than a film-set backdrop, even for visitors who first recognize it from television.

Best time to visit

May, June, or September for warm weather and a genuinely manageable share of the cruise-ship crowds that define July and August.
