Discover Croatia
Natural splendor and stunning historical cities—Croatia offers the best of both. This nation nestled along the Mediterranean has long been a favorite getaway for Europeans who flock to its picturesque beaches and revel in its rich history and culture.
Croatia is home to one of the most perfectly preserved walled towns in Europe. Dubrovnik lies at the foot of a rugged mountain and its port serves as the natural gateway to the southern islands of Croatia. Its historic core feels frozen in time, with medieval remnants and baroque influences apparent in ancient churches, historic market squares, and the wall itself. Other urban highlights include the seaside city of Split, A UNESCO World Heritage Site that boasts the sprawling palace of Roman Emperor Diocletian.
The country’s Dalmatian coast glitters with turquoise waters and white sand beaches; island lovers will delight in the strand of 79 islands and hundreds of islets dotting the region. These diverse isles boast sun-kissed villages, fields redolent with lavender and heather, and ancient ports on picturesque bays.
Look further inland to discover epic mountain ranges, stunning waterfalls, and breathtaking lakes. Croatia is a nature-lover’s dream; 10% of its land is a nationally protected resource. From the Dinaric Alps, which stretch all the way from Italy to Albania, to natural wonders like Plitvice Lakes National Park with its 16 ice-blue lakes connected by cascading falls, outdoor enthusiasts will find endless opportunities for exploration. Experience this hidden gem for yourself on a VBT bike tour in Croatia!
Country Highlights
- Explore the harbor of Postira, a beautiful oceanside village surrounded by centuries-old olive fields and pine groves.
- Catch a glimpse of the mainland across the water as you spin through quaint villages along a Brac Island coastal road.
- Behold breathtaking views from Vidova Gora, the “summit of the Adriatic.”
- Take a dip in the Adriatic from the beach of Zlatni Rat (meaning “Golden Horn”), the most famous beach in all of Croatia.
Croatian Hospitality
The Croatian people are famously gracious and friendly, and happily welcome tourists into the fold of daily life. Sharing food and drink is an important cultural tradition here, and if you’re lucky enough to dine in the home of locals (as we do on tour), you’re sure to experience this legendary hospitality for yourself as your hosts go out of their way to make you feel at home. In fact, you may find yourself being served so much food you don’t know what to do with it all!
Recent Independence
Croatia has been through a lot since the early 90s: the collapse of communism, a declaration of independence, and a territorial battle characterized as the bloodiest event in Europe since World War II. Now, Croatia has established itself as a strong, safe, stable, and tourist-friendly country, and there is a noticeable sense of pride in their relatively new independent statehood.
The Perfect Setting
Fans of the HBO series Game of Thrones will recognize Dubrovnik as the setting of the fictional King’s Landing. This cult favorite is not the only Hollywood endeavour to take advantage of Croatia’s beauty, however. From Russia with Love, the second Bond movie starring Sean Connery features shots of the capital, Zagreb, and historical locations in Dubrovnik were used to create a whole other planet in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Mario grew up on the island of Hvar, where his family has been living for over 300 years. He loves to introduce travelers to local customs and stories, ancient traditions, food, and the scenery.
This was an absolutely delightful experience. I am very impressed with VBT's way of supporting the local economy by hiring local guides, and setting up dinners with locals. Our hotels were great, the guides were wonderful, and i learned so much about local culture and history. Our guides, Mario and Neven, are just wonderful people and so helpful fun to be around.
Croatia: The Dalmatian Islands
VBT Croatia was a fantastic experience. Our trip exceeded our expectations and my adult son said it was a “trip of a lifetime!” It was a perfect blend of guided and self guided. The guides had great personalities and created a great experience! I loved the variation of experiences, loved the food recommendations, loved the scenery and loved all the group interaction. I am ready for the next VBT trip! Amazing trip! Thank you.
