Croatia is located on the Adriatic Sea. Its capital city, Zagreb, lies inland. Cities popular with travelers include those on the Dalmatian Coast (Dubrovnik, Split) and those on the Istrian Peninsula (Rovinj, Pula).
Croatia is popular with those who love beaches, but it also has a wealth of Roman ruins, a delicious national cuisine, unique wines and locally made spirits, traditions - like klapa music and religious processions - that are enthusiastically kept alive, a history tied closely with Italy and its neighboring countries, and a friendly, vibrant people who are proud of their heritage and their country.
