Hello, my wife and I will be honeymooning in Croatia and Slovenia from late October to mid-November. We'll be renting a car for a road trip, and we've already booked all our accommodations, transportation tickets, and attraction tickets on Booking.com, prepaying everything with our credit card. We also plan to pay for all our restaurant meals with our credit card.

We'd like to ask if €400 in cash is enough for a trip of approximately 19 days? We'll only be exchanging €5, €10, and €20 notes because we know that most merchants don't accept large denominations.

Hi all, planning a honeymoon for mid-June 2027 and would love a sanity check. We want 2 bases, very nice hotels, and the best beaches and water we can get.

Proposed itinerary (Jun 12-22):
- Jun 12-13: Fly from Texas to Zagreb (booked on Chase credit card points, which only work for a Zagreb round trip for whatever reason), then connect to Split on a separate cash flight
- Jun 13-17: Hvar, 4 nights
- Jun 17-21: Brač (Bol), 4 nights
- Jun 21-22: Brač to Split to Zagreb, then fly home

Priorities: high-end hotels or resorts, great beaches and swimming water, no rental car if we can avoid it.

Really like what I have heard about Rovinj/Istria but decided to focus on Hvar islands given priority for the best beaches and water.

Questions:

1. Is 4 + 4 on Hvar and Brač the right split, or would you swap one for Korčula or somewhere else?
2. How easy is boat transportation between the islands in general (Hvar, Brač, Korčula) in mid-June?
3. Any logistics traps with the Zagreb to Split connection? Or any suggestions on travel logistics in general?
4. Beaches or hotels on either island you'd pick over the obvious ones?

Thank you very much!

Hello hello - my partner and I are behind on the whole booking things to do on our vacation. We’re in Hvar for the next 3 days - weather is questionable. So to the people of Reddit - what should we do?

Hi everyone!

I'll be in Dubrovnik from 8 to 11 October and I'm travelling solo. If anyone else is there on those dates and would like to hang out, explore the city, or have dinner together, feel free to comment or send me a message. I'm happy to make plans and meet in a public place.

I also have a few practical questions:

1. Is it worth renting a car for a short 3-day stay, or is it easier to rely on buses, taxis, and Uber/Bolt?
2. If I do rent one, are there good rental companies in Dubrovnik (airport or city), and roughly what should I expect to pay in October?
3. How bad is parking near Gruž? Are there reliable car parks, and what do they cost per day? (P.S. I know that there are few parking spots in Dubrovnik and it's mainly reserved for the locals, but I want to know just in case if there are some options for tourists too, I'm totally fine if there isn't any :) )
4. Any tips I should know about (tolls, narrow roads, scams, places to avoid)?

And btw any recommendations for food, restaurants, or places to visit are totally appreciated and I am thankful.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hey guys, I've done a bit of homework for quite some time now, and I've narrowed it down to these cities only. I've read the wiki itineraries, but since I'm cutting out some stops, I want a better idea.

Skipping Dubrovnik due to the distance, and Zagreb as well. My family plans to rent a car in Split, and drive North all the way to Porec. We'll then cross the border into Slovenia for a few more days and fly out from Ljubljana

We have about 10 full days, so mostly wondering about how to split them for Croatia

Split > probably 2 nights, and one of them will be spent in Trogir?

Park Krka> one night? Use Šibenik as base?

Park Plitvička> one day? Not sure which city to use as the base

Pula, Rovinj, Poreč> maybe one night for each? Or just 2 nights total and use one of the cities as base?

We have 10 days total on this trip, ideally probably 6 days in Croatia and 4 in Slovenia. Feel free to recommend some stops we can't miss or anything we should skip as well, time is limited to trying the best we can, thanks in advance

Hi guys.. will be having a trip to Croatia and we will be arriving at Zagreb Airport just after noon time. We're staying near Trg bana Josipa Jelačića.

What would you recommend as the cheapest and easiest way to get from the airport to our accommodation?

I see there is an airport shuttle and ZET bus 290. Which option would you recommend for 3 people with luggage?

Any other option you would recommend?

Thanks!
