So, I’m just finishing up my time in Croatia. It’s been pretty fabulous in truth. It’s the third time that I’ve travelled in this magical country and what a trip it’s been.

From the stunning setting of Dubrovnik to my last few days in Zadar, Croatia is fast becoming one of my favourite countries.

I’ll level with you – 10 days in Croatia is not enough to see even a portion of what the country has to offer – but it’s enough time to see some of Croatia’s coolest spots.

Planning Your Croatia Itinerary for 10 Days

Self-Guided or a Group Tour?

This is obviously completely down to personal preference.

I give you lots of information and pointers in this piece to make planning your 10 days in Croatia a complete doddle but you might want to take a completely hands-off approach and book onto a group tour, especially if you are travelling Croatia solo and would like to meet some other travellers.

Don’t want to plan your trip? This 8 day Explore Croatia tour takes you on a whirlwind adventure between Split and Dubrovnik, or G Adventures’ Dalmatia Tour offers pre-planned Croatia itineraries with the added bonus of extra company too. 

Check out G Adventures’ full range of Croatia tours.

Alternatively, Croatia’s huge shoreline makes it the perfect sailing destination.

What do I Need to Pack for Croatia?

Obviously what you will need to pack for your Croatia itinerary will depend on what season you are going in. For warmer months you will need.  

• Lonely Planet Croatia Travel Guide
• Insect Repellent
• Hiking boots or comfortable walking sandals
• Broad brimmed hat
• Sunglasses
• European or universal travel adapter
• Lightweight microfiber towel
• Camera or an adventure camera
• Sunscreen

Useful Resources for Planning Your Croatia Trip

• Skyscanner – My default go-to for booking flights. Find the best-value flights for your trip, so you can spend more of your travel budget on doing fun stuff in Croatia.
• Booking.com – Book your accommodation, often with free cancellations.
• Tripadvisor – Yes, Tripadvisor is full of dross but it can be worth checking reviews and you can also compare prices on major booking engines like Booking.com and Expedia.
• Holiday Autos. I’ve assumed that you’re going to travel using public transport, but you could make this into a road trip with a rental car. It will mean that you have fewer options when it comes to ferries for the islands though.
• Get Your Guide and Viator. Both these sites offer a great range of tours and excursions in Croatia.

Croatia Itinerary Days 1 + 2: Dubrovnik

So we start our Croatia itinerary in Dubrovnik. OMG. Can we talk about Dubrovnik?

Sure, you’ve heard the hype, but until you’ve seen this city, it’s impossible to grasp how impressive it is.

Catapulted to international attention as King’s Landing in Game of Thrones, Dubrovnik’s secret is well and truly out.

Unless you go in the winter, Dubrovnik is going to be pretty busy – almost chaotically so. But it will charm you nonetheless.

The old capital of the Republic of Ragusa, Dubrovnik oozes old-world charm, its marble walls gleaming in the sun.

The old town is pretty compact and easily walkable in a day. Try to time your visit to coincide with a day when there are fewer cruise ships in dock (you can check here). Believe me, you’ll be thankful for it.

Practical Information for Dubrovnik

Getting to Dubrovnik

You can fly to Dubrovnik from a number of international destinations (recommended).

Alternatively, you can fly to another airport, such as Split and drive or take the bus to Dubrovnik (which takes between 4.5 – 8 hours depending on the bus route).

Check flights to Dubrovnik on Skyscanner.

Getting Around Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is a very walkable city. Stay in or as close to the Old Town as possible and you will be in the best position to get around the city. There’s an extensive bus network, as well as Ubers and taxis too.

Suggested Places to Stay in Dubrovnik

• Luxury: Villa Orsula. One of the best hotels in Dubrovnik, with beautiful gardens and views. Check prices and availability.
• Mid-Range: Klarissa Palace. A chic B&B next to the Cathedral in the centre of the Old Town. Check prices and availability.
• Budget: 87 Stairs Dubrovnik. Individual well-furnished apartments in the Ploce area. Check prices and availability.

Things to do in Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik is packed with things to do – but as you’re on a tight schedule, these are the things that I’d say you shouldn’t miss

Game of Thrones Tour of Dubrovnik

Obviously this is one for the Game of Thrones fans (me!). Dubrovnik is the setting for King’s Landing in the hit TV series. Immerse yourself in the Machiavellian plans, gorgeous sets and filming locations on a tour (I took this one – highly recommended) or read my guide to exploring King’s Landing in Dubrovnik here.

Walking the City Walls

This was hands down one of the best things I did in Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik’s city walls completely encircle the Old Town and are a must for any Croatia itinerary. Visit just before sunset and watch the city change hue with the fading light.

You can buy tickets for the walls on the door, or book a spot on a city walls tour for a more in-depth experience.

War Photo Limited

It’s hard to believe that in 1991 Dubrovnik was under siege and being bombed as part of the Croatian War of Independence. War Photo Limited displays photos taken in the wars that ravaged this region during this time. Gut-wrenching and powerful.

Lokrum Island

Even though you only have a few days in Dubrovnik, I’d highly recommend taking time to visit Lokrum island.

A mere 15 minute boat ride from the Old Town, the island is home to peacocks, crystal clear coves and a Benedictine Monastery. Not to mention panoramic views of the city.

Spend a full day if you can or book a short kayaking tour around the island leaving from Pile Harbour in the city.

Fort Lovrijenac

It’s a steep pull to the top of Fort Lovrijenac, but it’s worth the effort. The fort boast quintessential views of the Old Town – a cluster of red roofs leading out to the sea.

Cable Car to the top of Mt Srd

Can you believe that I ran out of time to hop on the car to the top of Mt Srd? Atrocious. Particularly as everyone I know who’s been has loved it. Facepalm.

Buza Bar

This bare bones bar (one of three Buza Bars on the cliffs of Dubrovnik), is one of my Dubrovnik faves. Get there a while before sunset to grab a table.

Check out my guide to visiting Buza Bar Dubrovnik for what to expect.

Where to Eat

Splash out on a delicious meal with marina views at Restaurant Orsan (book ahead). Taj Mahal sits slap bang in the centre of the walled town and serves Bosnian cuisine at reasonable prices. Meanwhile quick and delicious food is the name of the game at Barba – very tasty.

Croatia Itinerary Days 3 + 4: Korčula

The next stop on our whirlwind around Croatia in 10 days is Korčula.
Korčula is a large island on the Dalmatian Coast – only a stone’s throw away from the mainland – but well worth visiting. It’s beautiful.

I wasn’t really sure whether to include Korčula on my itinerary during my two weeks in Croatia last month, but boy was I glad that I did.

What’s to love? The main town for one is a maze of winding streets with independent shops and stellar bars and restaurants.

Korčula has a thriving wine industry, sandy beaches and some of the clearest waters you will find in Croatia. In short, it’s the perfect place to unwind after the hectic pace of Dubrovnik.

Practical Information for Korčula

Getting from Dubrovnik to Korčula

Ferries run to Korčula from Dubrovnik several times per day. Tickets cost around 140 kn. Jadrolinija is fractionally more comfortable than the other operators but there isn’t much between them.

The ferry terminal is in Korčula Town.

Getting Around Korčula

There’s a reasonably efficient bus network that serves the island. However, if you really want the true Croatian experience you should hop on a water taxi.

I loved using the water taxi to jet between different parts of the island. As if you need an excuse to gorge yourself on more sea views right?

If you’re feeling adventurous, you can also hire a speedboat and jet around the island at your own leisure.

Suggested Places to Stay in Korčula

Base yourself in quaint Korčula Town. I’d heard it was nicknamed Little Dubrovnik thanks to its creamy stone buildings and terracotta roofs and when I clapped eyes on it, I couldn’t help but agree.

• Luxury: Lešić Dimitri Palace. A cluster of renovated buildings together form one of Korčula’s most exclusive hotels. Check rates and availability.
• Budget: Sunny Town Apartments. Relatively basic but clean apartments, run by a local (Philip) who’s a fount of information about places to go, things to do and where to eat on the island. Check rates and availability.

Things to do in Korčula

You don’t have much time in Korčula, so I’d recommend spending a day in the town itself and then catching a water taxi to Lumbarda for a spot of beach time and wine tasting.

Korčula Town

There’s enough to keep you entertained in Korčula Town for a morning or afternoon – even more if you take things at a slow pace.

If you’re in town on a Monday or a Thursday night, book to see the Moreska performance – an entertaining sword dance that’s been performed in Korčula for centuries.

Climb to the top of the Cathedral for panoramic views of the island and the coast. Beware, it’s a tight squeeze and not recommended if you have a thing with heights. There were a couple of moments where I had to steel my nerve, but it was totally worth it.

Eat in Konoba Eterina – the food is wonderful, as is the wine.

Lumbarda

Take a day trip to the Lumbarda region.

Lumbarda has a lot going for it, not least a few of Croatia’s rare sandy beaches, Vela Przina and Bilin Zal.

I prefer Vela Przina – get there early to nab a spot (and a sun lounger). There’s a basic but delicious cafe restaurant on the beach too.

It’s a short walk from the beach to another of Lumbarda’s biggest draws – the vineyards.

This is the only area in the world where the Grk grape thrives, don’t miss the opportunity to try the unique wine made with it. Popić Winery is friendly, with a reasonably-priced tasting menu and very drinkable wines.

Croatia Itinerary Days 5 + 6: Hvar

Hvar has a reputation as Croatia’s party island. That news might fill you with glee or a sense of impending doom depending on what you’re after. Either way, don’t worry, Hvar has (to use a very hackneyed phrase) something for everyone.

Party people are well-catered to, with bars and clubs pumping all night and into the dawn – filled with the rich and glamorous who pop in on their rather dazzling superyachts.

Now, I wouldn’t blame you if that sounded like your idea of hell. Guess what though, there’s a tonne of stuff on Hvar to explore.

Start with the charming old town and then escape to Hvar’s numerous vineyards, rocky but sun-drenched beaches (Hvar has the most hours of sunshine per year in the whole of Croatia).

If you have more time, you could also explore the quaint town of Stari Grad or set sail for the idyllic Pakleni Islands – an easy day trip from the island.

Practical Information for Hvar

Getting from Korčula to Hvar

Frequent ferries jet travellers between Korčula and Hvar. Book ahead in high season as they do tend to sell out.

Hvar’s ferry terminal is right in the centre of Hvar Town. The centre is easily walkable, but you might want to consider hopping in a taxi if you are staying up at the top of the town.

Getting Around Hvar

There are buses covering Hvar’s four main regions but timetables change seasonally.You can check bus times and routes on Cazmatrans – the bus operator’s website.

Taxis are readily available but, like the rest of Croatia, they are pretty expensive.

Where to Stay in Hvar

• Luxury: Hotel Adriana. Stylish rooms and harbour views – Hotel Adriana combines a perfect location with a luxe touch.
• Mid-Range: Pharos Hvar Bayhill Hotel. A boutique hotel that’s surprisingly good value. It’s only a five minute walk from the centre – rooms are spacious and comfortable.

Things to do in Hvar

Party Hotspots in Hvar Town

I’ll start by saying that I didn’t really love the bars and clubs in Hvar.

Some, like Hula Hula were pretty cool, with great views and OK music. Others like Splash were dreadful (I don’t know who thinks the combination of overpriced drinks and terrible service was a winning one: they might want to rethink that one).

Overall, I thought that the nighttime scene came across as a bit hollow and it definitely was not my cup of tea.

But if you’re heading to Hvar to party, Hula Hula, Carpe Diem Hvar, Kipa, Veneranda and Red Baron are good places to start.

Explore Hvar Town

Away from the party spots, Hvar is a lovable town – with a smattering of medieval buildings, a compact old town and plenty of places to lay down your towel and soak up some sun.

I huffed and puffed my way up to Hvar Fortress (Fortica) early in the morning. I’d recommend that you do the same unless you like being sweaty mcsweaty.

The fortress is a cool spot that’s played an important role in the town’s history throughout the year. It’s also the best place to catch gorgeous views of Hvar Town from above.

The dining scene in Hvar is poppin’. What’s more, it’s not as expensive as you’d think either. Lungo Mare was my favourite spot – dishing up stellar seafood in a non-touristy part of town, the plates are big and the prices are low.

Much more cosmopolitan, teeny tiny Fig Cafe Bar serves an innovative international menu. Get there early – it fills up quickly at dinner.

Hop on a Taxi Boat to One of the Island’s Secret Beaches or the Pakleni Islands

Escaping the crowds in Hvar is a simple matter of hopping on a taxi boat and setting off onto the high seas (well, not quite). Hvar’s dotted with tiny coves and beaches where you can flop, drop and snooze in the sun.

Uber-pretty Robinson Bay might only be fifteen minutes from the town but it feels like a million miles away.

Want to try something a little different? Hop onto this kayaking tour to the idyllic Pakleni Islands, which stand temptingly close to Hvar town.

Croatia Itinerary Days 7 + 8: Split  

With darling Dubrovnik hogging so much of the attention, it can sometimes feel like Split gets a little left out of the limelight. Until recently that is.

People are waking up to Split’s numerous charms. From the UNESCO-Listed Diocletian’s Palace that’s woven into the fabric of the Old Town, to the cool bars and restaurants that have mushroomed all over town, there’s a lot to appeal.

All that before you even get to the surrounds. As well as being a gorgeous destination in itself, Split is also the jumping off point for exploring more of Croatia’s natural wonders such as the Blue Lagoon and Blue Cave.

Read Next: The Best Things to do in Split

Practical Information for Split

Getting from Hvar to Split

Another day, another ferry… there are tonnes of catamarans that run between Hvar Town and Split – even so, you should definitely buy your ticket in advance during high season. There are fewer ferries in low season, so check timings.

The catamaran from Hvar Town to Split takes just over an hour.

Getting Around Split

The centre of Split is very small and walkable. The centre of town is pedestrianised, so walking is pretty much your only option anyway!

Most sights are clustered around the center – it’s unlikely that you’re going to need to take a taxi or public transport at all.

Where to Stay in Split

• Budget: Apartments 4 U Split. These two compact apartments offer a brilliant value option a short walk from the old town. Leona, the owner, is an absolute star. If they’re fully booked, you can also try Split Urban Rooms 4 but be warned, some of the rooms don’t have windows and the ones near reception can be a bit noisy.
• Mid-Range: Residence by Vestibul Palace. A ten minute walk from the old town, this stylish apartment hotel combines the independence of an apartment with the convenience of hotel amenities.
• Luxury: Heritage Hotel 19. A stone’s throw away from the seaside promenade, Heritage Hotel 19 is located in a converted townhouse – period features sit alongside contemporary touches for one of the comfiest places to stay in Split.

Things to do in Split

Diocletian’s Palace

It would be impossible to spend 10 days in Croatia and not see one of its biggest historical marvels, Diocletian’s Palace. Dazzling and spectacular – it’s actually near impossible to avoid. The palace forms the backbone of of Split’s Old Town.

Built as a retirement home for the Roman Emperor Diocletian (who actually hailed from Salona down the road), the palace is a living testament to Croatia’s importance during the Roman Empire.

This tour of Diocletian’s Palace and Split’s Old Town may well be one of the best that I’ve ever been on.

My guide was a walking, talking, wise-cracking fact machine who breezed through the fascinating history of the city – maximum information, maximum entertainment. I couldn’t recommend it more.

Insider tip: Book onto the 9am tour – I ended up having a private tour when I did as everyone else was still snoozing it up in bed. The early bird catches the worm and feels supremely smug about it too. Check times and availability.

Walk Up Marjan Hill for Cool Views

Just outside of the city centre, Marjan Hill is Split’s vast woodland playground. It’s a fifteen minute walk to the viewpoint where you can nab a widespread panorama of the city. Have more time? Go for a hike or head to one of the beaches on the Marjan peninsula.

Take a Stroll Along the Riva

A long promenade that stretches along one half of the city’s seafront, the Riva is the perfect place to order a glass of wine or a coffee and watch as the world passes by.

Hunt out Game of Thrones Filming Locations

What? More Game of Thrones? Yes, yes, yes. If you’re not a fan, feel free to walk on by this section, if you are, sit up and pay attention.

Split was also used as a filming location for Game of Thrones – this time as the setting for Mereen. There are fewer locations to see in the centre of town, but half the fun is romping throuhg the city’s streets working out what looks familiar.

Hint: you’ll find a few spots in the basement of Diocletian’s Palace.

Eating + Drinking Your Way Around Split

There are seemingly endless restaurants and bars to choose from in Split.

Head to Zinfandel Food & Wine bar for a selection of Croatian wines accompanied by live music in the evenings.

Traditional Croatian eatery Konoba Varos has been serving up hearty, well-priced Croatian specialties for decades. Grab a slice of the action – my cuttlefish risotto was absolutely divine.

Uje Oil Bar might be a bit pricey during the evenings (although it’s totally worth it). They run an excellent value brunch deal between 10am and 1pm. For 120kn you get a selection of Croatian wines and cheeses, pasta and a glass of wine. Treat yo’self.

Croatia Itinerary Days 9 + 10: Zadar or Zagreb

Look guys, you have a choice to make here. You don’t have enough time to visit both Zagreb and Zadar, so you will need to pick which one you like the look of most.

Travel-wise it’s easy enough to get to both Zadar and Zagreb from Split. Zadar is closer, but there are more international flights from Zagreb so it might be easier for you to head home from there.

Zadar

Zadar might be a city on the Adriatic coast, but it’s got a whole different vibe to Split and Dubrovnik further south in the country. 

It was heavily bombed during WWII, so the architecture is a somewhat quirky mix of medieval buildings, communist-era brutalism and contemporary chic.

Practical Information for Zadar 

Getting from Split to Zadar

The easiest way to get from Split to Zadar is by car – it’s less than a 90 minutes drive. Alternatively, you can take a bus from Split Central Bus Station.

Getting Around Zadar

The only form of public transport in Zadar is by bus, however it’s a very walkable place so you’ll only really need to use it if you’re travelling from one side of Zadar to the other.

Where to Stay in Zadar

• Budget: With a rooftop terrace, Hotel Delfin is a beautiful budget hotel in Zadar with spacious rooms and bright, white decor.
• Mid-Range: Hotel Kolovare is located on the ocean-front, offering super-stylish rooms and a pool.
• Luxury: The ultra-swanky Teatro Verdi Boutique Hotel boasts beautiful rooms complete with everything you might possibly need for a comfortable stay.

Things to do in Zadar

Krka National Park 

A couple of hours away from Zadar, Krka National Park is a haven of waterfalls, lakes and a hiker’s paradise. Tours run from Zadar, or you can get the bus and visit independently. 

You could head to Krka instead of Plitvice (unlike Plitvice, you can swim in Krka’s lakes), or do both if you have the time.

Hunt out Historical Architecture

Zadar’s modest cathedral is outdone by the immediately recognisable St Donat’s Church round the corner. Romans, the Luxembourgish, Venetians, Austrians – it seems like everyone’s ruled Zadar at one point or another – they’ve all left their mark.

The Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun

Zadar-educated artist Nikola Bašić created two of Zadar’s most iconic attractions. 

The Sea Organ uses the natural movements of the waves to play its eerily beautiful tunes, while the Greeting to the Sun is a solar-powered circular representation of the solar system that lights up throughout the night. 

Sound interesting? It is.

Lounge in Zadar’s Ultra-Cool Bars 

Whether you’re hanging out at uber-chic open air lounge The Garden or knocking them back in the numerous little boltholes in Stomorica, Zadar’s nightlife is legendary. 

Other top spots include Deja Brew (the clues in the name), or The Factory and Teatro for those evenings when you just want to let your hair down and party.

Zagreb

Zagreb is the country’s capital. Far inland, it stands as a stark contrast to the Dalmatian islands and cities we’ve explored so far but it has a cosmopolitan charm of its own.

Practical Information for Zagreb 

Getting from Split to Zagreb

You’ve got plenty of options: plane, bus, train, car. If you’re looking to save some cash, getting a bus is the cheapest option and takes around 5 hours. If you want to get there ASAP, flights are still relatively cheap and take less than an hour.

Getting Around Zagreb

Trams and buses are the main ways of getting around Zagreb – they’re really cheap and efficient. That said, Zagreb is a very walkable city.

Where to Stay in Zagreb

• Budget: For somewhere a little different, Timeout Heritage Hotel offers rustic rooms that still manage to feel modern. This hotel also boasts a wonderful rooftop bar. 
• Mid-Range: I couldn’t recommend this hotel enough – Mint Boutique Hotel features suites that come with mini (and I mean mini) kitchenettes and huge fluffy beds.
• Luxury: Aesthetics is the primary focus at Bumblebee Luxury Apartments, though that does not mean they skimp on comfort. The beds are huge and the art-lined walls are a dream.

Things to do in Zagreb

Ban Jelačić Square

Now, if you want an in-depth guide to spending a day in Zagreb – start by reading my guide to 24 hours in the city – but you’re going to want to start by heading to Ban Jelačić, the main square of the city.

The statue of Ban (Governor) Jelačić marks the square, with the Mandušsevac Fountain on the opposite side – this fountain that used to provide water to residents until the 19th century. Throw a coin in for good luck and get ready for a brilliant day in Zagreb.

Dolac Market

Dolac Market is the bustling heart of the city, where locals and tourists alike can pick up fresh fruits, vegetables, and ingredients.

I’ve raved about the nearby Bistro Amphora before, but it really is the perfect place to grab coffee and people-watch after you’ve explored the market.

Cannon Firing at Lotrsčak Tower

Lotrsčak Tower was originally built in the 13th century as a defence tower to guard the city. Time your visit to Lotrsčak Tower for around midday, as one of the best things to do in Zagreb is to listen out for the firing of the cannon every single day. 

Museum of Broken Relationships

Okay, now you’ve appreciated some of Zagreb’s history, it’s time for a dose of weirdness at the Museum of Broken Relationships. This quirky museum is filled with donated items left behind after a relationship break-up (of any kind). 

Expect everything from tear-jerking letters, friendship bracelets, and even an axe. Have a nose around and read the accompanying notes as to why something has been donated. It’s heartbreaking and hilarious all in one. 

Croatian Museum of Naïve Art

Now onto a slightly more high-brow affair: The Croatian Museum of Naïve Art. It’s dedicated to naive artists – untrained yet revolutionary artists in the 20th century. 

It’s a fascinating but tiny museum situated just a short distance from the Museum of Broken Relationships. The display changes often and features works by (mainly) Croatian Naïve masters, including Rabuzin and Generalić.

Grič Tunnels

Next up: the curious Grič Tunnels.

These tunnels were built in the 20th century under the old Grič settlement that now makes up part of Zagreb’s Upper Town. And, although they were closed for decades, they are now open for the public to walk through. 

Don’t worry if the thought of wandering through a dark tunnel makes your palms sweaty – take the passage from Radičeva, follow the second tunnel branching off to the left. Here you’ll find the Art Park and lots of street art to admire.

Dinner and Wine at Lari & Penati

Round off your Croatia 10 day itinerary at Lari & Penati – it is the best wine bar in Zagreb and I will not argue on that. Yes, it’s very small and can be difficult to snag a table, but it’s worth every ounce of effort for the delights on offer.

Dishes change daily and feature the likes of salads and fresh seafood – I even spotted BBQ ribs on the menu when I visited. The food is great, but it’s the wine you’re really there for.  

A glass of wine will set you back just £3-£4, and they’ve got bottles and bottles full of the good stuff from around the world.

Recommended Day Trip: Plitvice Lakes

Both Zadar and Zagreb are within a relatively easy distance from Croatia’s best-known natural attraction: Plitvice Lakes.

Shimmering emerald green amidst a series of waterfalls and forests that feel like they have been plucked straight out of the lost world, Plitvice is magical. The hordes of tourists that descend on it in the summer season, less so.

Read Next: The Insanely Practical Guide to Planning Your Visit to Plitvice Lakes

Do yourself a favour, avoid the tours – Plitvice’s walkways can get crowded enough and you’re not going to enjoy it as much if you are trooping around in a group of 30 people.

Buses to the park run frequently from Zadar and Zagreb – get there early and stay late so that you can explore in the morning and evening when it’s quieter.

So there we are. Your 10 days in Croatia are over. I hope that you have an absolutely fabulous time on your trip. I’m sure you will!
