Best Time to Visit Croatia
April to September is the most pleasant time to visit Croatia. July and August are the most crowded and expensive months – the country is full of European vacationers then. If you can avoid these two months, you will enjoy a more tranquil and authentic experience – and pay less!
Croatia Highlights
Croatia, officially the Republic of Croatia, is a southern Central European country at the crossroads between the Pannonian Plain and the Mediterranean Sea. Its capital is Zagreb. Croatia borders with Slovenia and Hungary to the north, Serbia to the northeast, Bosnia and Herzegovina to the east, and Montenegro to the far southeast. Its southern and western flanks border the Adriatic Sea, and it also shares a sea border with Italy in the Gulf of Trieste.
The Croatians settled on the east coast of the Adriatic Sea and the Pannonian lands in early 7th century, forming two principalities, Dalmatia and Pannonia. The establishment of the Trpimirović dynasty ca. 850 brought strengthening to the Dalmatian Croat duchy, which became a kingdom in 925.
