Šibenik – Reisgids Kroatië

One of the oldest native Croatian cities on the Adriatic, Šibenik is best known for the UNESCO-listed Cathedral of St. James — a masterpiece of Renaissance architecture built entirely of stone between 1431 and 1555, without brick or mortar. The compact medieval old town climbs steeply from the harbour to three hilltop fortresses offering panoramic views over the Šibenik channel and the Kornati archipelago. Šibenik is the gateway to Krka National Park (20 min) and the Kornati Islands, and one of Croatia's four main cruise ports. The International Children's Festival, held each July, is one of Europe's longest-running performing arts festivals for children.

Beste maanden om te bezoeken: May, June, 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.
