Croatia is a country located at the intersection of Central Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Balkans. It looks like a crescent moon on the map. Croatia has a long coastline, the longest among the Balkan countries, with beautiful scenery along the way; it has over 1185 islands, earning it the nickname 'Country of a Thousand Islands'. The most famous is Plitvice Lakes, where 16 natural lakes are connected, with a large amount of calcium carbonate limestone deposits in the lakes, presenting green, gray, blue, etc., forming an ultimate natural landscape.

Speaking of Croatia, one must first mention Dubrovnik, also known as 'King's Landing' in the famous 'Game of Thrones'. Even if you're not a fan of the show, it's more customary to call it King's Landing, as it seems to show the grandeur of this ancient city.
Although small, Šibenik offers so much. First of all, this is one of the oldest cities in Croatia, whose name is mentioned in a document of Petar Krešimir IV, and dates back to 1066, and for this reason, the city is nicknamed "Krešimir's city". Old city core of Šibenik includes 24 churches, 4 fortresses and 4 wells. This is also a city located in an incredibly beautiful bay, that you will fall in love with at first sight.
Šibenik also has its own aquapark, which is the first in Dalmatia, it is the Solaris aquapark. Solaris includes a wide range of family and social attractions, games and attractions suitable for children of all ages and adults. I would recommend to everyone who happens to be in Croatia to visit Šibenik, as well. Šibenik, in addition to its rich cultural heritage, also offers plenty of entertainment.
Game of Thrones Conquest, the Croatian coastal frenzy travel guide
Because of an American TV series, Croatia has become one of the most focused tourist destinations in the world. In the king of American TV series, Game of Thrones, the capital of the continent of Westeros, King's Landing, was filmed in the southern coastal city of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The azure Adriatic Sea and the red roofs of the ancient city walls form a natural painting, beautiful from any angle. If you choose a homestay on the mountain, you can overlook the entire castle, but going up and down the stairs is really tiring. You can stay in Dubrovnik for two days; the city is actually not that big.
From Dubrovnik, there are two routes: one going south to Montenegro, about a 5-hour drive to the famous tourist city of Kotor; the other is the northern route I took, heading north along the Croatian coastal cities. Additionally, to the northeast of the city, you can go to Mostar in Bosnia and Herzegovina, also a famous tourist city.
After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Croatia occupied most of the coastline, hence the nickname 'Coastal Frenzy'. When taking the bus north, you will pass through Neum, the only coastal city in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where police will come on board to check passports, and it will be over soon, making you feel sorry for Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The northern route is Dubrovnik—Split—Trogir half-day tour—Zadar—fly to Pula—Rovinj, then take a car to the capital Zagreb, and then you can go to Koper in Slovenia, or Trieste in Italy, the latter being a larger city, recommended by the ticket seller for me to stay. Long-distance bus luggage is charged extra, but not much, Croatia is a bit expensive, and taxis are not cheap.
Key cities: In addition to King's Landing, Split is the second-largest city and a historic city with many Roman ruins; Trogir and Šibenik are both Game of Thrones filming locations, and if you have limited time, it's okay not to go; Zadar is known for the world's most beautiful sunset, and the small town is very distinctive.
I didn't go to Croatia's Jiuzhaigou, Plitvice Lakes, but flew directly from Zadar to the Pula Peninsula, where Pula has complete ancient Roman amphitheater ruins; Rovinj is also particularly beautiful, with the castle right on the sea.
Overall impression: Very stunning at first glance, especially the beautiful seascape and city, but after walking a lot, it feels the same and a bit boring. Overall, there are no bad places along the Adriatic coast, Montenegro, Slovenia are all extremely beautiful, worth visiting again and again.
People in the former Yugoslavia are tall and handsome, no wonder they have produced talents in the three major balls and tennis.

Dubrovnik - a Balkan Paradise
Dubrovnik is famous for being the location of Games of Thrones, but it's so much more than that. Dubrovnik Old Town is staggeringly beautiful with imposing towers, picturesque streets and a stunning view of the Adriatic Sea.
The tourist traffic can be overwhelming during the summertime. I went there last April and the crowds were manageable.
Food is expensive inside the Old Town (about 20euro per meal, ugh) but there are cheap eats when you venture out of the tourist hotspots.
Go visit!#dubrovnik
Getting There - you can join a cruise or fly into Dubrovnik. You can also travel overland from nearby countries (Bosnia & Herzegovina and Montenegro)
Attractions - The lovely Stradun, Old City Walls and the resorts in Lapad
Hotels - accommodations are kinda pricey
Food & Restaurants - food is also expensive, but there are plenty of options. Have a gelato and pizza
Shopping - The souvenirs inside Okd Town are frightfully expensive
Hidden corners in Old Dubrovnik 🇭🇷
Dubrovnik is a pearl of the Adriatic Coastline and you will understand this term as soon as you visit it. The old town is surrounded by massive walls and the panoramic views are filled with typical orange rooftops. This city will have you walk endless stairs, but you will certainly come back for more – that’s how beautiful it is. During summer, the sunset created amazing golden light for your photo and you will be able to capture the beauty of Dubrovnik. #tripblazers #mytripvlog #beachlife #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #summervacation

[Traveling around Eastern Europe] Dubrovnik
two-kilometer wall for three hours, I am right in the wall control.
It feels more common to walk in the city, but finding a commanding height, such as a wall, a seaside fortress or a mountaintop, is completely another scene. The beauty of Junlin City needs to be seen from a height.
Traveling with American TV is also a good choice.

Adriatic Coast Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
On the last day of Ducheng, I took the car to the new city and started the road of self-driving. Ducheng-split this section, the coastal D8 road, which is known as one of the most beautiful roads, will not only cross the border of Bosnia and Herzegovina, but also pass through the two real-life scenes of the game. It is the treasure road of the rights fans.
From the highest point on the winding mountain road that Ducheng self-driving, overlooking the entire Ducheng is super stunning, the Adriatic Sea shining in the sun is shining, showing different shades depending on the light. The blue, I feel that the photo can't shoot the beauty of it half!
This is the most beautiful coastal road along the coastline of Croatia, stretching from north to south. All the way to the twists and turns, look down, or see the island, or see the forest and the red top of the small village, patchwork, picturesque

Heaven on earth…Plitvice Lakes National Park
We travelled around the world in 6 weeks and one of our favourite stop is Plitvice Lakes National Park. It is one of the oldest and largest national parks in Croatia. In 1979 Plitvice Lakes National Park was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list, due to its outstanding and picturesque series of tufa lakes, caves, connected by waterfalls. The national park is world-famous for its lakes arranged in cascades. Sixteen lakes can be seen from the surface. There are 7 walking trails that are split between the Upper and Lower Lakes of the National Park. We arrived late morning by car from Port of Split as it took 4 hours and were only able to do 2 walking trails. Despite only covering 2 routes, we had spectacular scenery throughout the walk and stopped to take lots of photos. I highly recommend arriving in Zagreb as it only takes an hour from there to Plitvice Lakes by car or bus. You will then have a full day to cover at least 4 walking routes without rushing and everywhere you walk, you would want to take your time to enjoy the picturesque waterfalls and cascading lakes.
Plitvice Lakes National Park
The Plitvice Lakes is the oldest and the largest national park in the Republic of Croatia. The exceptional natural beauty of this area has always attracted nature lovers.
Plitvice Lakes are reachable on a day trip from Zagreb, Zadar and Split. However, we recommend spending at least one night in the area to allow you to experience everything the park has to offer. With this in mind, plan at least 2 days for visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Although visitors aren't allowed to swim in the lakes directly, just few kilometers north of the National Park, swimming is possible!
If possible, spend at least one full day at the lakes to make the most of your day trip to Plitvice. Of course, it's also a good option if you can spend the night over, but visiting Plitvice in one day is doable
The best months to visit Plitvice are June and September.
Tickets can be purchased in advance at least 2 days prior to arrival. You can also buy your entry tickets at the Park, but with the risk that they will not be available because the number of tickets per hour is limited because of possible overcrowding.
Lightweight clothing like T-shirts and shorts are a must as well as hats, sunglasses, and sunblock.
Amazing day!
