Dubrovnik, Croatia

Unforgettable  Croatiaholidays & tours

With its stunning Adriatic coastline, speckled with more than a thousand pine-clad islands, and its culture-packed cities, Croatia has become one of Europe’s most popular holiday destinations.

From ancient walled cities and sparking sapphire seas, to rich heritage and diverse cuisine, our Croatia tours are designed to show you the best of this beautiful country.

When it comes to the cities, you’re spoilt for choice. Explore Zadar, home to a host of excellent museums and galleries. Or tour Diocletian’s Palace, an incredible 3rd-century fortress which sprawls across the historic heart of Split. Then there’s Dubrovnik: the ’Pearl of the Adriatic’. This film-set city is a real beauty, with chunky defensive walls overlooking the sea, marble-lined streets, and an array of ornate palaces, churches and mansions.

There are natural wonders, too. Admire the blue-green hues of Plitvice Lakes, the country’s oldest and largest national park. And wander along the wooden boardwalks at Krka National Park, past tiered waterfalls and forest-edged rivers.

To see more of Croatia’s islands, take to the water on a Dalmatian Coast cruise. Discover the olive groves and lavender fields of Hvar, the vineyards of Korcula and the serene forests of Mljet. Or perhaps combine your Croatia trip with time in neighbouring Montenegro, where you'll find medieval towns and UNESCO-protected landscapes.

What our experts love about Croatia

“While I was hoping to spot a brown bear in the wilderness when we stopped off at the UNESCO-protected Plitvice Lakes, it didn't matter, as the sheer beauty of the turquoise waters and landscape were simply breathtaking.”

More information about Croatia

Expertise coupled with choice – our collection of Croatia tours includes escorted tours, Dalmatian Coast cruises on small ships (perfect for getting to the lesser-visited islands) and multi-country holidays for those who’d like to see a bit more of the Balkans. You can even combine your Croatian cruise with a stay on the coast. Every Croatia holiday has been carefully and thoughtfully crafted, with plenty of inclusions to offer value for money. You’ll enjoy Titan benefits including our VIP door-to-door transfers, and the service of one of our knowledgeable tour managers throughout the trip.

Delicious and varied! There are local specialities, like slow-cooked beef stews with polenta, stuffed peppers, and cevapi (a flatbread sandwich often sold at street food stalls). There’s also a strong Italian influence, so you’ll find plenty of risotto and pasta dishes on the menu. And, of course, tons of incredibly fresh seafood, from mussels to squid. We’d highly recommend trying some local wine, too – we visit vineyards and winemakers on a number of our Croatia holidays.

Currently, UK citizens don’t need a visa to travel to Croatia. Requirements can change, though – for the most up-to-date information on visas, please use the quick-check tool on our visa requirements page.

Croatia uses the euro. Card payments are widely accepted in tourist areas, but we’d also recommend taking some cash, which comes in handy for tipping or shopping at smaller shops or cafés.

Some parts can be pricey, particularly around big cities like Dubrovnik and Split, or on islands like Hvar, which typically attract high-spending visitors. But on the whole, Croatia isn’t a particularly expensive destination. A good thing about booking a Croatia tour is that a lot of things will already be included in the price – excursions, some meals and drinks, etc. 

Late spring and early autumn are ideal times for mixing sightseeing and swimming – our Croatia holidays tend to depart in May-June and September-October. Temperatures are usually in the 20s, so things are comfortable without being too sweltering. If you’re a sea swimmer, choose an autumn date, when the water is deliciously warm.

For UK devices, a Type C or F adaptor is required with two round pins.

The official language is Croatian. English is widely understood in tourist areas, but we’d recommend learning a few basic phrases in Croatian before you visit. 

Tipping is customary for obtaining good service. For service in restaurants etc. 10% is usual. Where an expert local guide (step-on guide) takes your city tour, it’s customary to tip a nominal amount and your tour manager will advise on this during the tour. If you request wheelchair assistance at airports, it’s customary to tip the porter.
