Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik has a remarkable history. An independent, merchant republic for 700 years, it traded with Turkey and India in the East and had trade representatives in Africa. The old town was completed in the 13th century and remains virtually unchanged to the present day. One of the greatest pleasures for many visitors is to have a drink in one of the nearby cafes and watch the world go by, whilst they themselves are being watched by the city patron, St. Blasie. In 1991-1992 the Serbs shelled the city causing considerable damage but thanks to local effort the old town has been restored to its former beauty. Whatever we say, words do not give justice to this dazzling place, and if you are visiting in the summer do not miss the world-renowned Dubrovnik Summer Festival, with music, theatre and dance performances.

Pula

Situated in the Southeast end of the Istrian peninsula is Pula. It represents a very fine combination of the old and modern city where many famous writers and composers have found inspiration for their masterpieces. Many cultural and historical monuments dominate its panorama and represent today the unique setting of various cultural and artistic events. Tourist facilities are located outside the town in woods close to the sea, while beaches stretch along over 100km of beautiful and unspoiled coastline. The perfect place to spend a weekend, or even longer.

Rijeka

The town of Rijeka is an important business, trade, industrial and cultural centre in the western part of Croatia. There is the opportunity for many watersports, and there are many bars, cafes and restaurants around. Apart from its tourism, Rijeka is also famous for its pulp and paper industries and export. There are business and trade connections with more than 80 countries across the world, thus ensuring that Rijeka is a bustling place to visit. However, it is very unspoiled and has only recently become a holiday destination, so it is a great place to visit if you don't like to be swamped by hoards of tourists.

Split

Split is a busy port, with an international airport and regular ferry services with the nearby islands, the north and the south Adriatic, Italy and Greece. Split's growth became particularly rapid in the 7th century, when the inhabitants of the destroyed Greek and Roman metropolis Salonae took refuge within its walls. The magnificent ruins of Solin outside the city can still be explored today. Many of Split's historical and cultural buildings can be found within the walls of Diocletian's Palace. In addition, numerous museums, the National Theatre, and old churches in the Split region make it an important cultural attraction. There are many bars, cafes and restaurants in Split, as well as the opportunity to shop; however, it is mostly popular for its historical sights and monuments.

Zadar

Zadar, as an Illyrian settlement, dates back to the 9th century BC. Several layers of city walls, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque monuments and a preserved collection of church silver and gold witness the City's tumultuous past. Today Zadar is a tourist and cultural centre with four national parks and 1200km of picturesque, bright blue sea, there are also many untouched small and larger islands waiting for you to discover. Modern hotels, camps, private suites and villas are located along Zadar's tourist region, both on the main islands. There are many cafes, bars and restaurants, and many hotels provide entertainment for the evening too.
