  Bay, the only fjord of the Mediterranean – the city of architect, scientist and the museums. The Bay and the city

  is a UNESCO world cultural and naturerbe recognized. Budva, the theatre and Festival stage with beautiful

  beaches and chirpy nightlife; Ulcinj, the ancient city of sailors and pirates. Each town has its own flair and is

  worth visiting throughout the year.

  well. Every stay in one of the national parks “Durmitor”, “Scutari Lake”, “Lovcen” and “Biogradska Gora” is a

  unique experience. 39,000 Hectare National Park Durmitor is protected by UNESCO as world heritage. The Tara

  many important medieval, Baroque, Art Nouveau, Vienna Secession and modern buildings. Museums in

  Ljubljana and elsewhere feature unique items such as the Divje Babe Flute and the oldest wheel in the world.

  Three historic sites in Slovenia are on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list. Škocjan Caves and

  its karst landscape are a protected site. The Idrija Mercury mining site is of world importance, as are

  the prehistoric pile dwellings in the Ljubljana Marshes.

  The most picturesque church is the medieval and Baroque building on Bled Island. The castle above the Bled

  Castle, half hidden in a cave. At the northwestern corner of the country lie the Julian Alps with the

  picturesque Lake Bled and the Soča Valley, as well as the nation’s highest peak, Mount Triglav in the middle

  of Triglav National Park.

  The Karst Plateau in the Slovene Littoral gave its name to karst, a landscape shaped by water dissolving the

  carbonate bedrock, forming caves. The best-known caves are Postojna Cave, with more than 28 million visitors.

  Gothic Mediterranean town of Piran while the settlement of Portorož attracts crowds in summer.

  Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country on the Balkan Peninsula in southeastern Europe, encompasses

  mountainous terrain, medieval villages and Muslim and Christian landmarks. Its countryside is marked by deep

  gorges, turquoise rivers and lakes, and the Dinaric Alps’ forests and crags.

  Bosnia & Hercegovina (BiH) is a treasure-trove of architectural and natural beauty. Even if you have just a

  couple of days, it’s worth nipping in from neighbouring Croatia or Serbia to see Mostar’s iconic bridge or to

  stroll the Ottoman-flavoured alleys of Sarajevo. But if you’ve got longer, there are many more highlights to

  discover.

  The capital city Sarajevo is famous for its traditional religious diversity, with adherents

  of Islam, Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Judaism coexisting there for centuries. Due to this long and rich history of

  religious diversity, Sarajevo has often been called the “Jerusalem of Europe“.

  Sarajevo has a strong tourist industry and was named by Lonely Planet one of the top 50 “Best City in the

  World” in 2006. Examples of popular destinations in Sarajevo include the Vrelo Bosne park with Roman thermal

  springs, the Sarajevo cathedral, the Gazi Husrev-beg’s Mosque and old town of Sarajevo; Baščaršija. Tourism in

  Sarajevo is chiefly focused on historical, religious, and cultural aspects.

  The historic town of Mostar, spanning a deep valley of the Neretva River, developed in the 15th and 16th

  centuries as an Ottoman frontier town and during the Austro-Hungarian period in the 19th and 20th centuries.

  Mostar has long been known for its old Turkish houses and Old Bridge, Stari Most. The Old Bridge area, with its

  pre-Ottoman, easter Ottoman, Mediterranean and westers European architectural features, is an outstanding

  example of a multicultural urban settlement.
  Serbia is a buzzy and boisterous country, compact enough for visitors to sample both Belgrade’s urban

  hedonism and the gentler pace of the smaller towns or national parks within a few days – and it’s one of

  Europe’s most affordable destinations to boot.

  Its architecture is a three-dimensional timeline of the country’s socio-cultural history. Between the ubiquitous

  socialist concrete blocks you’ll find medieval monasteries, Ottoman spires, Orthodox churches and Austro-

  Hungarian fortifications.

  Home to numerous excellent museums and galleries, a wide range of restaurants and cafés, and some of the

  best nightlife in southeast Europe, Belgrade is drawing comparisons with some of the world’s coolest cities. It is

  also helping lead the rest of the country into a bright and hopeful future, with a young generation of creative

  and outward-looking Serbs reshaping the historic land that was founded as a principality some 1,200 years ago.

  Away from the capital, Novi Sad is an attractive, lively city with an elegant centre and picturesque fortress

  overlooking over the Danube. In the far north, Subotica has an array of secessionist architecture and a notable

  Hungarian character.

  The province of Vojvodina, north of Belgrade, has some excellent wetland habitats that are home to numerous

  bird species, while south of the capital the countryside consists of lush, wooded valleys with hidden-away

  Orthodox monasteries. Scattered among the country’s more mountainous regions are a number of vast

  national parks.

  In Croatia, where the Mediterranean, the mountains and the Pannonian plains come together in a unique

  harmony of natural beauty, within just a little more than a hundred kilometers, you can come across excitingly

  different landscapes.

  Nestled between the east and the west, Croatia unveils an incredible wealth of cultural, historic and culinary

  heritage, along with a breathtaking array of different spectacles of nature – coast, islands, mountains, flatlands,

  lakes, sea, sun, snow. Natural diversity in Croatia is among the most fascinating in all of Europe, due to it

  stretching from the planes of central Europe to the Adriatic coast within just a few hours, with the landscapes

  changing dramatically! With its dolce vita lifestyle, olives, wines and siesta, the coast has that distinct feeling of

  the old Mediterranean seaside, while the north of the country brings a strong baroque charm to the mix. It’s a

  remarkable place, truly, Croatia. And great destinations have no alternatives, just like great experiences!

  Our mission is to connect you to the best of Croatia.

  Experiences exist in Croatia for every traveler, and for every kind of interest.

  Mark’s Church and cafe-lined pedestrian Tkalčićeva Street. Lower Town contains the city’s main square, Ban

  Jelačić, as well as shops, museums and parks. Zagreb is also called a city of museums as there are more of them

  Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of the oldest national parks in Southeast Europe and the largest national

  park in Croatia. In 1979, Plitvice Lakes National Park was added to the UNESCO World Heritage register.

  Located roughly halfway between capital city Zagreb and Zadar on the coast, the lakes are a definite must-see

  in Croatia.

  The beauty of the National Park Plitvice lies in its sixteen lakes, inter-connected by a series of waterfalls, and

  set in deep woodland populated by deer, bears, wolves, boars and rare bird species. The National Park covers

  a total area of 300 square kilometres, whilst the lakes join together over a distance of eight kilometres.

  Zadar, a city on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, is known for the Roman and Venetian ruins of its peninsular old

  town, including several Venetian gates in the city walls. Surrounding the Roman-era Forum are the 11th-

  century St. Mary’s Convent, with religious art dating to the 8th century; the grand, 12th-century St. Anastasia’s

  Cathedral; and the round, 9th-century pre-Romanesque Church of St. Donat.

  Šibenik, a city positioned in the deep bay, is one of the most naturally protected harbors on the Adriatic coast.

  One of the things not to be missed in Sibenik is Sibenik’s cathedral – Cathedral Sveti Jakov, built back to 1434,

  an important architectural Renaissance building in Croatia that is listed by Unesco World Heritage. The

  cathedral lies just underneath the fortress walls of the town in the old area of Sibenik .

  Sibenik’s cathedral is one of the marvels of the Dalmatian Coast, not to be missed as well as the town hall, the

  churches of St. Barbara and St. Fran and many town squares, palaces, fortresses and other churches which are

  spread throughout the city.

  Krka National Park lies about 10km inland from Sibenik. Named after the Krka River, the Park covers an area of

  just over 142 square km and includes two thirds of the river itself. The top attraction of the Park are its

  magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Skradinski Buk falls which are one of Croatia’s most famous sights.

  Trogir, a harmonious stone town on a small island that is connected to the mainland and the island of Čiovo by

  bridges. The old town, under UNESCO protection, is a treasure trove for lovers of art, Renaissance and Baroque

  buildings, Romanesque churches…

  The small, narrow streets and small village squares, numerous restaurants, cafes, souvenir shops and galleries,

  along with numerous cultural and music open air events give this town a special atmosphere of the

  Mediterranean.

  Split The story of Split is already 17 centuries old, dating to the time the Roman Emperor Diocletian decided to

  build his Palace right on the peninsula near the great Roman city Salona, where he wanted to spend the last

  years of his life. During these 1700 years the Palace slowly turned into a city, which to this day lures with its

  rich tradition, glorious history and beauty of its natural and cultural heritage.

  Diocletian Palace and the entire historical core of Split have been on the World Heritage UNESCO list ever since

  1979, and not only for the extraordinary preservation of the Palace, but also because the Palace and its city (or

  the city and its Palace, if you like) continue to live a full life. All historical layers from the old Rome, middle ages

  till today are still visible and alive in this structure. A walk through the ancient city takes you through time,

  along the great examples of ancient architecture like Peristyle, the middle aged Romanesque Church and

  Gothic Palace, Renaissance portals of the noblemen’s houses, Baroque facades and modern architecture

  superbly merged in the rich heritage.
