There are more than a thousand islands along the coast in Croatia, most of which are uninhabited. And did you know that the famous explorer Marco Polo is originally from Croatia? This Balkan country with its extensive history has everything it takes to become a top European destination. Sun-drenched beaches, phenomenal nature reserves and stately cities, you name it! The country, which was once part of Yugoslavia, has been an independent state since 1991 and is now firmly rooted in Croatian soil.

Zagreb never stands still, there are parties, events and swinging festivals here almost every week. And how about it Advent Zagreb event at Christmas? But there are more cities that appeal to the Croatian imagination. Old Dubrovnik and dreamy Sibenik or Split are three cities where you can walk around for hours without getting bored. Porec with its green surroundings and Rovinj with winding narrow streets are also perfect business cards of this beautiful country.
