Unforgettable beauty

The best time to visit Croatia is during the shoulder seasons of late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October). During these months, the weather is pleasantly warm, ideal for exploring coastal cities, national parks, and cultural sites, while also avoiding the summer crowds.

• Late Spring (May to June): This is an excellent time for outdoor activities, sightseeing, and enjoying blooming landscapes. The Adriatic Sea starts to warm up, making it suitable for swimming by June.
• Summer (July to August): While this is peak tourist season, especially along the coast, it offers vibrant nightlife, festivals, and a lively atmosphere. However, expect high temperatures, crowded beaches, and accommodation fills up quickly.
• Early Autumn (September to October): The weather is still warm, and the sea remains pleasant for swimming. Crowds thin out after the summer rush, making it a great time for sightseeing and enjoying local festivals.
• Winter (November to March): This is the off-peak season. Coastal areas can be mild, but inland regions, especially in the north, may experience snow and cold temperatures. However, winter can be a good time to explore cities like Zagreb, which hosts festive Christmas markets.

To reach Croatia, most travelers fly into one of its major international airports:

• Franjo Tuđman Airport, located in Zagreb, the capital, is Croatia’s largest airport with many international flights.
• Split Airport, located near Split on the Adriatic coast, is ideal for those visiting the Dalmatian coast and islands.
• Dubrovnik Airport, located in Dubrovnik, serves southern Croatia and is popular among visitors to the historic city.
• Zadar Airport, in the city of Zadar, is a smaller airport with connections to various European destinations.

Croatia is well-connected to European cities, with direct flights from London, Frankfurt, Paris, Amsterdam, and many more, while seasonal direct flights operate from major North American cities like New York and Toronto; otherwise, layovers in European hubs are common. Direct flights from Istanbul and Doha provide connections from Asia and the Middle East.
