The most beautiful view of Dubrovnik and surrounding islands can be enjoyed on the Mount Srdj above the town. The top of the hill can be reached via the newly-restored Cable car. The Dubrovnik Cable car began transporting passengers back in 1969, but was completely destroyed during the Croatian War of Independence. In the summer of 2010 it was restored and once again transports visitors in great numbers to the top of Mount Srdj.

Gornji grad - Medveščak city district in the self-organization of the City of Zagreb. City district was established by the Statute of the City of Zagreb, 14 December 1999, and includes the Upper Town, the Kaptol and areas north of it (east and west of the street Medveščak). 

Dating from the beginning of the 9th century, this unusual circular Byzantine-style church was named after the bishop who commissioned it. As one of only a handful of buildings from the early Croatian kingdom to have survived the Mongol invasion of the 13th century, it's a particularly important cultural relic. The simple and unadorned interior includes two complete Roman columns, recycled from the Forum. Also from the Forum are the paving slabs that were revealed after the original floor was removed.

The island’s hub and busiest destination, Hvar Town is estimated to draw around 20,000 people a day in the high season. It’s odd that they can all fit in the small bay town, where 13th-century walls surround beautifully ornamented Gothic palaces and traffic-free marble streets, but fit they do. Visitors wander along the main square, explore the sights on the winding stone streets, swim at the numerous beaches or pop off to the Pakleni Islands to get into their birthday suits – but most of all they come to party. Hvar's reputation as Croatia's premier party town is well deserved.

Istralandia Aquapark, is a waterpark located between Brtonigla and Novigrad. The excellent geographical position of Istralandia Aquapark, near the exit off the Istrian Ypsilon motorway, makes it easy to reach from all parts of the Istrian peninsula. The waterpark’s multitude of swimming pools and slides knows no age limits; anyone looking for an adrenaline rush is welcome here!

The Mestrovic Gallery in Split houses many of the masterpieces, carved in marble, in bronze and wood. The gallery was built in 1931 to Mestrovic’s design and was intended to be his family home, working and exhibition space. One of the master’s most famous sculpture’s is ‘Gregor Ninski” (Gregorius of Nin) The Church of the Holy Cross in the little town of Nin near Zadar, is where Croatian catholicism was born in the 9th century, and it was Bishop Gregorius  who, in the 10th century, fought for the right to use old Croatian language to be used in liturgical services.

Koločep is a small island in the Dubrovnik Elafiti Islands Archipelago. It is located just seven miles from Dubrovnik’s harbour of Gruz . It cover the area of only about therr square kilometers and has populatin of just under 200 people. Kolocep, locally called Kalamota, is very much connected with Dubrovnik in every aspects of life, so it servers almost as Dubrovnik’s suburb as the local ferry line regularly (few times a day) connects Kolocep with Dubrovnik.  Kolocep is a very green island with lot of pine and olive groves. It has it’s beaches too, so beside tourists, Dubrovnik inhabitants are using this island as one of their favourite swimming spots and day trip destinations.

The national park is a vast and primarily unaltered area of exceptional natural value, including one or more preserved or insignificantly altered ecosystems. The purpose of the park is primarily to serve science, culture, education and recreation, while tourism activities have also been introduced for its visitors.

Korcula is rich in vineyards, olive groves and small villages, and harbouring a glorious old town, the island of Korčula is the sixth-largest Adriatic island, stretching nearly 47km in length. Dense woods led the original Greek settlers to call the island Korkyra Melaina (Black Korčula). Quiet coves and small sandy beaches dot the steep southern coast while the northern shore is flatter and more pebbly.

When Croatian artists Olinka Vistina and Drazen Grubisic separated, their reluctance to part with the sentimental reminders of their fizzled love inspired them to open the Museum of Broken Relationships, so that the items could remain together. At first glance, this concept may seem to contradict healthy healing, but the idea took off, and while the museum was on tour, people from all over began to donate their reminders of heartbreak. Now the museum has a permanent home in Croatia, and contains a fascinating collection of former tokens of affection. 

Separated only by an 11m-wide canal and joined by a bridge, these two sparsely populated and highly scenic islands in the Kvarner archipelago are often treated as a single entity. Although their topography is different, the islands’ identities are blurred by a shared history. Nature lovers will be in heaven here. Both islands are criss-crossed by hiking and biking trails, and the surrounding waters are home to the only known resident population of dolphins in the Adriatic. Much of the sea off the eastern coast is protected by the Lošinj Dolphin Reserve, the first of its kind in the entire Mediterranean.

Fort of St. Lawrence, lies outside the city walls at the western entrance to the city. It proudly sits on its steep cliffs, 37 metres in height, and seeped in legends on how it came to be as well as the heroic acts of its guards and defenders. It dominates both the sea and land entrances to the city on the western side, and together with Bokar Fort, closes in and protects Dubrovnik's oldest harbour, Kalarinja. The Fort of St. Lawrence caused many problems for those who attempted to jeopardize the freedom of the Republic, primarily the Venetians. 

Mljet is one of the most seductive of all the Adriatic islands. Much of the island is covered by forests and the rest is dotted with fields, vineyards and small villages. The western tip contains Mljet National Park, where the lush vegetation, pine forests and spectacular saltwater lakes are exceptionally scenic. It’s an unspoilt oasis of tranquillity that, according to legend, captivated Odysseus for seven years. We’re sure he didn’t regret a moment.

Lokrum is conveniently located on short ferry ride from Dubrovnik Old Town, so day trips to island are very popular among locals as well as among the visitors to Dubrovnik. Additionally, spending a day or just a half day there can be really refreshing experience, as the island has plenty of pine, cypress and olive trees as well as some other subtropical vegetation which offers tranquillity and shade especially during the hot summer days.

Most visitors to Hvar Town visit the crystal-clear waters, hidden beaches and deserted lagoons of the Pakleni Islands (Pakleni Otoci), a gorgeous chain of wooded isles which stretch out immediately in front of the town. Although the name is often translated as ‘Hell’s Islands’, its meaning is thought to derive from paklina, a pine resin that was once harvested here to waterproof boats. The largest of the Pakleni Islands by far is Sveti Klement, which supports three villages in its 5 sq km. Palmižana village has a marina, accommodation, restaurants and a pebbly beach.

The slender fingerlike peninsula of Pelješac is coastal Croatia at its most relaxed. Blessed with craggy mountains, sweeping valleys, idyllic coves and fine wines, it’s a glorious place to visit. Two historic towns, Ston and Orebić, bookend the peninsula and the slow, winding drive between them is a very pleasant one indeed; allow an hour, or longer if you stop for wine tastings along the way. The peninsula's third-largest settlement is pretty little palm-lined Trpanj on the northern coast, where the car ferry leaves for Ploče.

The waters flowing over the limestone and chalk have, over thousands of years, deposited travertine barriers, creating natural dams which in turn have created a series of beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. These geological processes continue today. The forests in the park are home to bears, wolves and many rare bird species.

Pula Arena is used for many concerts. Elton John and Alanis Morissette have even performed there! The Pula Film Festival takes place each July (as you see the Arena set up for in the picture above) showcasing both Croatian and international films. And just last September, two professional ice hockey games were even played in the Arena. The Archaeological Museum of Istria also houses an exhibition on wine and olive oil production from Istria in the underground section of the Arena.

The Rector's palace is a harmonious Gothic and Renaissance palace with certain Baroque additions. The palace owes its present shape to many additions and reconstructions throughout its turbulent history. From time to time it happened that the palace was destroyed or heavily damaged by either fires, gunpowder explosions or earthquakes which required a total or partial reconstruction or repair of the building. Each architect had it's own view of how the building should look so nowadays we can enjoy the unique mixture of styles blended perfectly across this monumental structure.

The musical Sea Organ (morske orgulje) is located on the shores of Zadar, Croatia, and is the world’s first musical pipe organs that is played by the sea. Simple and elegant steps, carved in white stone, were built on the quayside. Underneath, there are 35 musically tuned tubes with whistle openings on the sidewalk. The movement of the sea pushes air through, and – depending on the size and velocity of the wave – musical chords are played. The waves create random harmonic sounds.

Solaris AquaPark is a very rich attraction with unique design. It involves a wide variety of family and social activities, games and curiosities, adapted primarily to children of all ages and adults. Up to 6 different slides, of which some reach high up to 13,5 meters, jets and waterfalls with numerous water effects are just a part of the adventure that will make you completely overwhelmed. Take a short break in the comfortable tubes flowing down the ‘lazy river’. Enjoy all water effects with no time limit. 

This 13th-century church is one of Zagreb’s most emblematic buildings. Its colourful tiled roof, constructed in 1880, has the medieval coat of arms of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left side, and the emblem of Zagreb on the right. The Gothic portal, composed of 15 figures in shallow niches, was sculpted in the 14th century. The interior contains sculptures by Ivan Meštrović. You can enter the anteroom only during opening hours; the church is open only at Mass times.

Placa or Stradun street is the main open urban area of Dubrovnik and the most favored promenade and gathering place. It is the venue of all public feasts and processions, but also the main business street of the City core. The widest and most beautiful street divides the City into northern and southern halves. At the same time it is the shortest communication between the western and the eastern City gates. The length of Placa street is about 300 meters (1000 feet).

 The Telašćica bay is one of the safest, the most beautiful and largest natural ports in the Adriatic. There are 6 islets and cliffs inside the bay, and 25 small coves on the 69 km indented coastline. It is an attractive anchorage for many boaters. The cliffs of the island Dugi otok or locally called "Stene" rising up to 200 m over the sea, and vertically falling down 90 m into the sea. Great number of bird species nest here, as well as Peregrine Falcon and Eleanor’s Falcon. Salt Lake “Mir” with fine curative gray silt is the residence of the endemic specie of eel called "Kajman". 

Trakošćan is one of the most attractive and most visited castles in Croatia, located on the hills of Croatian Zagorje. It was built in the 13th century and its distinctive architectural feature is Romanesque castles from the 12th and 13 century. In 16th century the castle was taken over by Croatian Ban Juraj Draskovic for his personal use. 

 This is the only visible remnant from the Roman era on the Forum, Pula’s central meeting place from antiquity through the Middle Ages. It used to contain temples and public buildings, but today this temple, erected from 2 BC to AD 14, is the showcase. When the Romans left, it became a church and then a grain warehouse. Reconstructed after a bomb hit it in 1944, it now houses a small museum of Roman sculpture with the occasional temporary show. 

Vis is the island that draws us back to Croatia. It is the furthest island in the Adriatic from the Croatian coast hidden behind the islands of Hvar, Brac and Solta. For many years it was the military and naval headquarters of Tito’s partisan army and was closed to the public until 1989. This meant that it escaped large commercial development and was able to retain its natural beauty.  The architecture on the island dates back to the early days of Venetians rule. Beautiful old stone buildings, made from stone from the nearby island of Brac, line narrow streets and alleyways in Vis and Komiza.

 Dubrovnik City walls are the most important feature of Dubrovnik and a world renowned iconic symbol of the white stone beauty, therefore the main reason why Dubrovnik is now known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. The characteristic appearance of Dubrovnik is unmistakable as no other city in the world has retained their medieval walls so perfectly as was the case of Dubrovnik and that is why Dubrovnik is included in the World Heritage List from UNESCO as far back as 1970.
