Croatia Tours, Holiday Packages and Travel Deals

Croatia is packed with breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural experiences. Be sure to explore Dubrovnik’s Old Town, often referred to as the "Pearl of the Adriatic”. Take a boat trip to the stunning islands of Hvar, marvel at the waterfalls of Plitvice Lakes National Park and more.

History buffs can visit Diocletian’s Palace in Split or the Roman amphitheatre in Pula. Wine lovers can also enjoy vineyard tours in Istria, while adventure seekers will love sailing along the Adriatic Coast.

The best time to visit Croatia is during the warmer shoulder seasons of May to June and September to October. It’s an ideal time of year for exploring the coastline, historic towns and national parks without the summer peak-season rush.

If you’re looking for warm sea temperatures and lively coastal vibes, July and August are the peak summer months.

The weather you will enjoy in Croatia depends on the region you visit and the time of year.

Northern Croatia

This region experiences a continental climate with cold winters and warm summers. The peak travel months are September and October when temperatures are pleasant for swimming and crowds are smaller.

Coastal Croatia

Along the Adriatic Coast you’ll experience a Mediterranean climate in destinations like Split and Dubrovnik. Expect mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers with average temperatures ranging from 10°C to 35°C.

Central Croatia

Inland areas, like Plitvice Lakes National Park, have a continental climate with distinct seasons. Summers can be warm and pleasant, while winters may bring snow and chilly temperatures.

Croatia operates on Central European Time (CET) or UTC+1. During daylight saving time, from late March to late October, it switches to Central European Summer Time (CEST) which is UTC+2.
