Why A Croatia City Break Should Be On Your Bucket List

Positioned in the glorious Adriatic Sea, bursting with natural delights and buzzing with nightlife, Croatia is easily one of the very best places to visit in Europe. No two days are alike on a Croatia city break, and there is simply so much to get stuck into that you won’t know where to start.

This is a guide to outline just a few of the fantastic activities you can discover – immerse yourself deep within the country’s incomparable natural wonders, enjoy the rich history of Split, explore the eclectic nightlife of Dubrovnik… you name it, Croatia’s got it.

Blue Cave, Biševo

Located in Biševo, the eerie and mysterious Blue Cave is one of Croatia’s most treasured natural delights. At the height of the summer, the sun casts an illusion of blue light within the cave, giving it a glowing and enticing appearance. Accessible only by sea, a visit to the Blue Cave offers a retreat away from the chaos of everyday life and a surreal experience as you become mesmerised by the ethereal blue water. Dive in and feel truly at one with nature and at peace with the world.

Diocletian’s Palace, Split

The simply remarkable Diocletian’s Palace is the ideal spot for history lovers, architecture admirers or keen culture seekers. The grandeur of this Roman-inspired palace is breath-taking, and even a walk around the exterior will inspire its visitors. Here you can also admire one of Diocletian’s prized possessions: his Ancient Egyptian sphinx. Perched high above the square sits the authentic statue, which has not been touched since the day she arrived in Split.

Buža Bars, Dubrovnik

After a long day exploring the historical and natural sights on your Croatia city breaks, you’ll definitely be deserving of a lively evening in one of the many eclectic bars on offer in Dubrovnik. The Buža bars are precariously positioned on the sea cliffs outside of Dubrovnik’s walls, making for great photo opportunities. Enjoy a drink or two before stepping down to the water below for a paddle or swim, or simply enjoy the awe-inspiring panoramic sea views. There has never been a more delightful view to accompany your evening beverage!

Krka National Park, Lozovac

This picturesque national treasure provides a whole day of entertainment. A warm day might even tempt you to jump straight into Krka’s gorgeous, fresh waterfalls! After a dip, enjoy a delicious meal at the onsite restaurant or a wander round the wooden bridge trail where you can spot exotic birds, fish and even frogs.

With more activities and day trips on offer than the mind could possibly imagine, a Croatia city break is the ideal treat to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse yourself in something entirely different.
