• Peak season: Summer, June to September.
• Low season: Winter, especially on the coast.

Flight duration

Flights to Croatia from London generally take between 2h 30min to 3h, depending on where you're touching down in the country.

Experience Croatia: what to see, what to do

There is no place like Croatia. They call it the Mediterranean as it once was, the Med before mass tourism has taken over, that is. It has Old World charm, fantastic beaches, ancient monuments and a folk culture that is irresistible. Whether you're after the stunning islands for your summer holidays in Croatia or after visiting the historic cities like Varazdin or Zagreb, Croatia will not disappoint.

Essentials in Croatia

Dubrovnik: It's no wonder that Lord Byron once called Dubrovnik "the pearl of the Adriatic." It's a stunning city in any season, day or night. The medieval walls and marble streets, the Baroque architecture, the pedestrian streets, churches, monasteries and cafes and shops. Beyond the Old Town are magnificent beaches and the sea, dotted with islands.

Zagreb: The capital of Croatia is far too often overlooked by tourists with only beaches on their mind. This city is a short drive from the coast, so make use of your Croatia car hire and visit. Like Budapest and Vienna, there is something very special about Zagreb's buildings leftover from the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Varazdin: This city is not far from the Hungarian border but there is no other place with so much preserved Baroque architecture. This was once the capital of Croatia before the honour was taken to Zagreb. Stari Grad, this beautiful medieval fortress is a sight to see and dates back to the 14th century.
