Overview
Blessed with a coastal location alongside the Adriatic Sea, Croatia attracts visitors from Europe and the world looking for sun-kissed beaches and historic cities. And luckily, they can enjoy the best of both worlds in Dubrovnik and Split, where history and natural beauty meet with waves of tourists each year...
Croatia has a bloody history, dating back to Roman times, and the amphitheater in Pula where gladiator fights took place is one of only three conserved in the world. Perhaps taking inspiration from this history, the popular TV series, Game of Thrones, was filmed on Croatia's Dalmatian Coast. On a happier note, at least 10% of the land in Croatia conserved in national parks and nature reserves.
Croatia in general has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and relatively mild winters when most of the rain falls.
Winters along the coast are normally around 10 °C. Further inland, places like Zagreb have colder winters with temperatures in December and January below 0 °C at night.
The best times to travel around Croatia are from April to early June and late September and October, when temperatures are normally around 20 °C - 25 °C during the day and crowds on the roads and beaches are absent.
Croatia's currency, the Kuna, is divided into 100 lipas. Kunas are issued in the following note denominations: 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000. You can also receive 1, 2, 5 and 25 Kuna coins, and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 lipa coins.
Major currencies such as USD, GBP and EUR are easy to change in Croatia, although it is better to avoid exchanging at hotels due to their high rates.
