We unexpectedly have a spare night. We don't want to be in Split or Trogir because we already have three days in Split.
I'd love a night in a smaller location with lots of natural beauty and a cute town within an hour +/- of Split Airport. The date is Sept 29/30. Thanks!
I'm traveling to Dubrovnik tomorrow to catch my flight and currently staying in Kotor. Does anybody have information about the current border crossing to Dubrovnik, I'm planning on taking the bus. According to Google maps it should take about 3 hours to get to Dubrovnik, is it somewhat accurate? Any information is helpful
Thanks!
Hey!
My husband and I are sailing with friends over 7 days leaving from Slip next week. We will be tending to our own meals- mostly breakfast and lunch. Some members of the group are advising we bring some food stuffs from the US as they are “more expensive “ in Croatia. I know there are grocery stores and from what I have read the most of ports we will stop in will have farmers markets. I do not want to be dragging coffee with me as I travel. 🙄 It seems to me based on what I have read here that the prices while not cheap are comparable to where I live here in the US. Feedback appreciated. My sanity with this group depends on it! 🙄😅
Thought this photo spot looked awesome and I’m curious if it’s on the walls, and if so, where exactly?
Hi everyone! I’m planning to visit Jerolim Island and I’d love to hear from people who have been there recently.
I’ve read that Jerolim is associated with naturism, but I’m wondering what it’s actually like in practice. Is most of the island clothing-optional, or are there particular areas where people tend to go without clothes?
I’ve also heard that some parts of the island are popular with LGBTQ+ visitors. Is there a particular area where people tend to gather, or is it generally mixed?
I’d especially appreciate firsthand experiences about the atmosphere, which areas are worth visiting, and anything you wish you had known before going.
Any tips on things to avoid, practical advice, or common mistakes would also be very welcome.
Thanks!
My bf and I are on our way to Dubrovnik and it seems like he’s starting to get sick unfortunately. Where can we buy thermometers to check his temp and see if he has a fever? Also any tips on which pharmacies are good to buy medicine at. We’re so bummed lol. Thanks guys
This sub doesn’t seem to have a ton of tips beyond the usual “see the Old Town / walk the walls / visit Hvar / Diocletian’s Palace” stuff.
I’m looking for the underrated, unconventional, slightly random advice you only learn from actually spending time in Dubrovnik, Hvar and Split.
🙏
Hi all,
Trying to get a sense of the severity of the fire situation along the Adriatic coast - I'm currently planning to drive from Dubrovnik to Kotor and then north to Mostar around September 3 - September 6 and then over to Brela via the coast and back to Split.
I know the situation will likely evolve over the coming days/weeks but just curious if I should rethink any of this right now.
I was initially just concerned about border crossings but now unsure if road closures or evacuations might prohibit this itinerary. Appreciate any insights from locals or folks visiting/recently in the area that we're doing a similar itinerary.
Hey everyone, I’d like some help. planning my trip in the end of september, beginning of octuber.
Here’s how I planned my trip: arriving on september 19, 2 days in Ljubljana, then on to Zagreb 22-29; rent a car and head down to Zadar 25-27, then Split 27-30, then Dubrovnik 09/30 until 10/04, after that, take a bus to Mostar for 2 days and finish up in Sarajevo for 3 days. I feel like that’s a lot of time in Croatia—I don't know, I’m not really into places that are overly touristy; I prefer quiet spots where I can relax. Could I skip any of the Croatian cities? tks!!
Given the current situation, is this feasible as a day trip? I understand border crossings can be long especially given the wildfire situation so need some advice.
Hi!
Me and my girlfriend are going to Croatia (4 days in Makarska and 4 days in Korcula).
Please recommend what other places we should visit from these 2 base points.
We are planning at least one day for Hvar, but I need more recommendations.
Since our reservations are still with free cancellation, please tell me if this plan looks good or we should consider other places for accommodation !
Thank you! 🙂
Hey! I’m going to Dubrovnik for a week on August 22nd. Does anyone there and has knowledge about how the current wildfires are affecting the area?
I’m starting to wonder whether I should cancel my trip.
Hi everyone. We (group of 4 people) are planning a 3 week trip to Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro from 27 Aug to 18 Sept. This is the tentative itinerary. Please note that the activities are a guide. The itinerary is flexible, it doesn't mean that we are going to do everything on it, we will play it by the ear and do what is reasonable, but we have a guide of possible things to do. We are torn between going to an island (Brac) or to the Makarska riviera and staying in Brela or Baška Voda on 13-16 Sept. Any insights on this and on the itinerary in general would be appreciated.
5 Day Split Itinerary (5 Day Itinerary suggestion for Split, Croatia by local Karla) - places to eat, places to stay...
Car rental prices seem to be out of hand, especially with Sixt and some of the other popular agencies. Any recommendations for a reliable and good value in Croatia?
Hey everyone,
We're planning a road trip through Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia with my wife and our 18-month-old, and I've got a genuine question: is Dubrovnik really worth all the hype?
I'll be honest, I've never been, so maybe this is a naive take. But when I look at all the other coastal, historic, charming towns in the region, I'm struggling to get why Dubrovnik gets so much attention. I'm thinking of places like Primošten, Šibenik, Omiš, Makarska, Rovinj, Pula, or Korčula… They all look gorgeous, often quieter, more authentic, and honestly maybe even more beautiful.
From the outside, Dubrovnik mostly comes across as really expensive and really crowded, which isn't ideal when you're traveling with a toddler in a stroller.
So my question is sincere: what does Dubrovnik have that all these other towns don't? What makes it unique enough to justify the crowds and the prices? Is it worth the detour, especially when traveling with a baby?
Thanks in advance for any tips or honest takes!
Luky us, the airline rescheduled our flight to leave a day later, so now we need somewhere for four us for one night. We start our trip in Dubrovnik, Hvar, and Split for three nights. We are already doing a day trip to Plitvice.
We need one extra night after Split. Not more than 90 minutes drive from Split. Somewhere very beautiful with maybe a lovely hike? A vineyard, or a really quirky natural feature? Beaches are nice and all, but we are getting that earlier in the trip. Something different?
Hi all! I only have 1.5 days in Dubrovnik later this month. I've read all the tips here, but I am traveling along and struggling with one choice.
Day 1
Day 2
Since I will 100% only have time for one, and I am very interested in both, is there one you would recommend?
First off, I’m sorry for what everyone there has been through the last few days. That looked terrifying 💔
We booked Omiš a while back for next weekend and I’m trying to figure out two things. One, is it actually safe? Are there still active hotspots in the hills, is the air okay, is the D8 from Split open in both directions? And two, is this a good moment for visitors to be around at all, or would people rather have the space while things are being cleaned up?
Anyone there who can give me a realistic picture? It’s hard to tell from the news coverage how much the town itself is affected versus the surrounding hills and villages.
Appreciate any info! Stay safe over there 🫶🏼
