What do tourists like in Croatia?


It’s truly amazing how a small country such as Croatia can offer so many activities and experiences for people of all tastes. Wherever you go, there will always be some kind of attraction that will raise your interest and fill some cultural and adventurous void.

What are some of the attractions tourists mostly like when they arrive in Croatia?

The most popular spot is Zagreb; hence, it’s the capital and the biggest Croatian city, so it naturally offers much more activities but also makes you further in its exploring. Besides the standard historical and architectural attractions Zagreb has to offer, tourists are always thrilled to experience some particular stuff you can encounter in Zagreb.

The Zagreb Christmas market has been a hit for years. Little wooden houses scattered all over town and selling everything from knitted winterwear to homemade boiled wine are definitely a sweet holiday spirit any city can look up to. But don’t take only our words; Zagreb’s Christmas market was called the best European Advent.

Moving on from Zagreb, one of the recent popular attractions is the art installation in Zadar, The Salutation to the Sun. Made by Nikola Bašić, this trippy pavement is a perfect background for every Instagrammer around. Just look at the beautifully artistic glass plates, and you’ll get it right away why so many people keep coming back.
