Croatia in 10 Days

Begin your journey in Croatia's capital — a city that blends Central European elegance with relaxed café culture. Explore the cobbled Upper Town (Gornji Grad), discover St. Mark's Church with its iconic tiled roof, browse the colourful Dolac Market, visit the Museum of Broken Relationships, and settle into Zagreb's famous evening café scene.

Drive or take a transfer to Plitvice (2 hours from Zagreb) and spend the day exploring one of Europe's most spectacular natural wonders. Walk wooden boardwalks over 16 interconnected turquoise lakes, pass through cascading waterfalls and take in scenic viewpoints through ancient forest. Overnight near the park or continue to Zadar in the evening.

Discover Zadar — one of Croatia's most underrated coastal cities. Explore the ancient Roman Forum, listen to the hauntingly beautiful Sea Organ played by the waves, watch the Greeting to the Sun light installation come alive at dusk, and experience what Alfred Hitchcock called the most beautiful sunset in the world.

Split blends Roman history with coastal energy. Spend two days exploring Diocletian's Palace — a UNESCO World Heritage Site that's also a living, breathing neighbourhood — walk through the grand Peristyle Square, climb Marjan Hill for panoramic views over the city and islands, and unwind at the lively Bacvice Beach.

Take a ferry from Split to Hvar — Croatia's most glamorous island. Explore the charming Old Town, climb to the Fortica Fortress for sweeping views over the harbour and Pakleni Islands, take a boat trip through the archipelago, and enjoy beach clubs and relaxed island evenings with the Adriatic as your backdrop.

End your journey in Croatia's most iconic city. Walk the legendary City Walls for sweeping views over terracotta rooftops, stroll the limestone-paved Stradun, take the ferry to Lokrum Island for a quieter escape, and ride the cable car to Mount Srđ for unforgettable sunset views over the Old Town and the open sea.
