About Croatia

Moreover, Croatia’s historic cities and towns are steeped in centuries of culture and tradition. Dubrovnik, often referred to as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” is renowned for its well-preserved medieval walls and charming cobblestone streets. Split, home to the magnificent Diocletian’s Palace, offers a fascinating glimpse into Croatia’s Roman past. Meanwhile, cities like Zagreb and Šibenik showcase a vibrant mix of architecture, art, and culinary delights.

Croatia’s cultural heritage is also reflected in its diverse cuisine, influenced by Mediterranean, Hungarian, and Turkish flavors. From freshly-caught seafood to hearty stews and delicate pastries, Croatian cuisine is a culinary adventure waiting to be savored.

Above all, what truly sets Croatia apart is the warmth and hospitality of its people. Croatians take pride in welcoming visitors with open arms, eager to share their traditions, stories, and zest for life. Whether you’re relaxing on a sun-drenched beach or exploring historic landmarks, you’ll find yourself embraced by the genuine warmth and friendliness of the Croatian people.

Croatia is a captivating destination that captivates the hearts of travelers with its natural wonders, cultural treasures, and welcoming spirit. Whether you’re seeking adventure, relaxation, or cultural immersion, Croatia promises an unforgettable experience that will leave you longing to return again and again.

History and culture

Croatia has been home to humans since the Stone Age. Thanks to its geographical position in Europe, it has been influenced by neighbouring regions, with tribes and people from different cultures and groups making their mark.

Croatia’s modern history is a result of resilience and transformation. After gaining independence from Yugoslavia in 1991, the country emerged into an era of peace and reconciliation, joining the European Union in 2013.

Generally, Croatians are very proud of their country and cultural heritage. The Slavic heritage of Croatian people is evident during festivals like the Spancirfest, Full Moon Festivals and the Korcula Sword Dance Festival, where cities and villages come to life with traditional costumes, folk music and feasts.

The people of Croatia have a great deal of national pride and a strong connection to their country and family. It’s quite common for extended families to live together and children to remain close to their parents well into adulthood. Time for leisure and family is highly valued, particularly along the coast, where many offices end their day in the early afternoon.

Eating and drinking

Croatian cuisine is heavily influenced by its surrounding countries. Separated from Italy by the Adriatic Sea, cuisine along the coast tends to have more of a Mediterranean flair. Fish and seafood are integral to many coastal dishes, such as brodet (fish stew) and crni rizot (black risotto made with squid). Homemade pasta and olive oil are also dietary staples. Further inland, you’ll find heartier dishes with Austrian, Hungarian and Turkish influences such as cobanac (a goulash-like stew) and kulen (paprika-seasoned sausage).
