Things to do while touring Croatia

Explore Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia’s oldest and largest national park, is known for its cascading waterfalls, turquoise lakes and scenic wooden walkways. Wander along paths that reveal new shades of blue at every turn, from deep emerald pools to crystal‑clear streams. Whether you’re admiring the viewpoints or enjoying the fresh mountain air, Plitvice offers a serene and unforgettable connection to nature.

Hike up Marjan Hill in Split

Marjan Hill rises above Split like a natural lookout, offering quiet forest paths, fresh sea air and sweeping views over the Adriatic. The walk takes you through pine-covered trails, past quiet chapels and viewpoints that offer scenic vistas over the city’s terracotta rooftops and nearby islands. Whether you stop at one of the viewpoints or continue to the top, Marjan Hill is a peaceful escape and a beautiful way to experience Split’s coastal landscapes.

Listen to the Sea Organ in Zadar

The Sea Organ is one of Zadar’s most recognisable modern attractions. Built into the steps along the waterfront, it uses the movement of the waves to create soft musical sounds through hidden pipes. As the water pushes in and out, the tones change naturally, making it a relaxing place to unwind and listen to the ocean. If you visit later in the afternoon, Zadar’s famous sunsets bring breathtaking colour to the experience.

Discover Diocletian’s Palace in Split

In the heart of Split you’ll find Diocletian’s Palace, one of the most important ancient sites on the Adriatic. Built in the 4th century, it now forms much of the city’s old town with shops, cafés and narrow stone streets woven through the original Roman walls. Walk through the Peristyle square, see the Cathedral of Saint Domnius or explore the underground chambers that once supported the palace.

Stroll through the Old Town of Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik’s Old Town is the city’s most famous area, known for its stone streets, historic buildings and impressive city walls. As you walk through the narrow lanes, you’ll find small shops, cafés and open squares surrounded by well‑preserved architecture. The main street, Stradun, is an easy place to start and leads you to several of the Old Town’s key landmarks. With its mix of history, atmosphere and coastal setting, it’s a simple and enjoyable place to explore at your own pace.
