Beste maanden om te bezoeken: May, June, July, August, September. Om de drukte van het hoogseizoen (juli–augustus) te vermijden, kies je beter voor mei–juni of september–oktober — de zee is nog warm, de prijzen zijn lager en de attracties minder druk. Kroatië is EU-lid sinds 2013 en gebruikt de Euro (EUR) sinds januari 2023. Vind weersvoorspellingen, druktevoorspelingen en reistips op deze pagina.
