Split:
- You can spend a day or two in Split without getting bored, as there is lots to do and discover there.
- Krka Falls and National Park – A 1-hour car ride. Great for a day trip or to stay overnight in the town of Skradin.
- Trogir – 30 minute car ride from Split. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, known for its Venetian architecture, was a filming location for Game of Thrones.
- Plitvice Lakes National Park – 2.5 hours from Split. A UNESCO-protected area with stunningly beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls. Worth staying overnight in the area and making a full day of it.
Dubrovnik:
- As impressive as Dubrovnik Old Town is, it’s quite small and so you might want to venture out if you have more than two days to spend in the area.
- Montenegro – a country on the southern border of Croatia, is one hour drive from Dubrovnik. A small yet very diverse country that allows you to visit many of its important and beautiful landmarks in a short space of time. Day trips are also available from Dubrovnik.
- Mostar in Bosnia. Again, very close to Dubrovnik, being only 2.5 hours away. Like Istanbul, where East meets West, Mostar will give you a completely different feel and culture from Croatia, yet it is so close by. Great for a day trip or to stay overnight.
