Explore Croatia

Croatia is one of Europes most exciting destinations, with a seemingly endless coastline, hundreds of islands and the kind of laid-back attitude that makes for a great holiday. History, culture, beaches: Croatia has it all, and it is easy to get around speaking English.

Perhaps one of Croatias best attributes is that you get two countries for the price of one. The long coastal region is heavily influenced by Italy, from the cuisine and Roman ruins to the insouciant attitude. Zagreb and northern Croatia, on the other hand, have much closer cultural, linguistic and economic ties with Germany and Austria which are demonstrated, in particular, by the Baroque cities that flourished in the 17th and 18th centuries under Austro-Hungarian rule. This duality is a direct result of Croatias tortuous history.

Croatian identity

The great epoch of Croatian kings was more than 1,000 years ago. For many centuries, a country called Croatia simply didnt exist. The Adriatic coast was part of the Roman Empire and then the Byzantine Empire before bouncing over to Hungarian kings and then the Venetians, the French (under Napoleon Bonaparte) and Italy in the 20th century. Austrians and Hungarians exerted nearly continuous control over the interior until the end of World War I when the first Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes emerged, later supplanted by Yugoslavia at the end of World War II (for more information, ). During all of this, a sense of national identity was somehow kept alive throughout Croatias diverse regions. The Serbian nationalism of Slobodan Miloevi provided the spark that fired up Croatias long-suppressed dream of independence. Nevertheless, the resulting conflagration took most Croatians by surprise. The terrible war years were followed by economic stagnation. But in spite of a long and difficult journey, independent Croatia has regained its footing and became a member of the European Union in 2013.
