When is the best time of year to visit Croatia?
Croatia is best to visit between May-September because these are the warmest months when it’s possible to do all activities including the fabulous boat tours and swimming at their lovely beaches. Most boat tours are closed for the season between October-April and the water is too cold to swim during this time as well. However, if you don’t mind missing boat tours and swimming, then Croatia is good to visit all year round.
How many days in Croatia is enough?
You will need at least 3-4 nights per destination in Croatia. Your first night allows you time to arrive and get settled. The second night allows you to see the major highlights of the city, and the third night allows you to take at least one boat tour or a day trip to one of the national parks. So, if you plan to see Dubrovnik and Split then plan to spend at least 6-8 nights total in the country. Click here to see the top 10 destinations in Croatia.
