The waterfalls
One thing that Croatia is well known for is its amazing waterfalls and nature trails. Croatia has some of the most mystical and magical waterfall trials in Europe so if you love to be out in nature this is a must during your trip.

If you are an outdoorsy person this is somewhere you absolutely have to go.
Fascinating cities
One of the best things about Croatia is the rich history it has to offer. If you are a history buff and you love to learn about how our world got the way it is, Croatia is a veritable goldmine of information and ruins. Croatia was influenced heavily by the Romans and as such it has many medieval ruins and castles within its borders that teach us a lot about this country and Europe as a whole.
