Best Croatia Day Trips & Things to Do

Croatia is a dazzling stretch of sun-drenched coastline and limestone peaks that has become the Mediterranean’s most sought-after destination. The "Pearl of the Adriatic," Dubrovnik, is a walled medieval masterpiece that looks out over sapphire waters, while the city of Split is built directly into the ruins of the Roman Emperor Diocletian’s Palace. Inland, the Plitvice Lakes National Park offers a breathtaking labyrinth of 16 terraced lakes connected by cascading waterfalls. With over 1,200 islands, Croatia is a sailor’s paradise, ranging from the glitzy nightlife of Hvar to the dense forests of Mljet.
