Croatia Itinerary at a Glance

Day 1–2: Dubrovnik – City walls, Old Town, Game of Thrones spots
Day 3–4: Split – Diocletian’s Palace, Riva promenade, island day trips
Day 5: Hvar – Beaches, nightlife, Pakleni Islands
Day 6–7: Plitvice Lakes – Waterfalls, wooden walkways, nature hikes
Day 8: Zagreb – Museums, street art, café culture
Optional Add-on: Rovinj or Pula in Istria – Venetian vibes, Roman ruins, truffle tastings

Day 1–2: Dubrovnik – The Pearl of the Adriatic

Start in Dubrovnik, Croatia’s most iconic city. Walk the ancient city walls at golden hour, explore the UNESCO-listed Old Town, and ride the cable car up Mount Srđ for panoramic views. Don’t miss Fort Lovrijenac and the Rector’s Palace. Game of Thrones fans can trace filming locations or join a guided walking tour.

Must Do:

  • Walk the city walls (arrive early)
  • Visit Lokrum Island
  • Eat seafood at a cliffside restaurant like Buža Bar

Day 3–4: Split – Palaces and Promenades

Split blends Roman grandeur with youthful energy. At its heart lies Diocletian’s Palace, a living monument where locals dine, shop, and live. Explore the historic center, relax by the palm-lined Riva promenade, or hike up Marjan Hill.

Island Tip: Take a day trip to Blue Lagoon, Brač (Zlatni Rat Beach), or Šolta.

Day 5: Hvar – Glitz, Beaches & Hidden Bays

Take the ferry to Hvar Island, known for luxury yachts, lavender fields, and hidden coves. Wander Hvar Town’s old harbor, explore Fortica Fortress, or rent a boat to reach the serene Pakleni Islands.

Nightlife Tip: Hvar comes alive after dark — head to Carpe Diem Beach for a unique experience.

Day 6–7: Plitvice Lakes – Nature’s Wonderland

Head inland to Plitvice Lakes National Park, a UNESCO gem with cascading lakes and wooden footbridges. Stay nearby to explore early morning before the crowds arrive. The park’s Upper and Lower Lakes offer distinct hiking routes and waterfalls.

Local Tip: Wear sturdy shoes and bring waterproof covers — mist from the falls is part of the charm.

Day 8: Zagreb – The Creative Capital

End your journey in Zagreb, a lively capital full of museums, quirky attractions, and cozy cafés. Visit the Museum of Broken Relationships, stroll Tkalčićeva Street, and relax in Maksimir Park.

  • Dolac Market for local eats
  • Zagreb Cathedral
  • Grič Tunnel and the Zagreb funicular

What to Eat in Croatia

  • Peka (slow-cooked meat or seafood under an iron bell)
  • Crni rižot (black squid ink risotto)
