Why Croatia?
Croatia is one of Europe's most diverse travel destinations — and yet only about two flight hours from Germany. On just 56,594 km², the country combines an incredible density of experiences:
- 1,778 kilometers of coastline with over 1,244 islands, 47 of which are inhabited — the longest coastline of the Adriatic
- 8 national parks and 11 nature parks, including the UNESCO-protected Plitvice Lakes
- 10 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, from Dubrovnik's city walls to the Stećci Necropolis
- Europe's cleanest bathing waters — regularly No. 1 in the EU water quality ranking
- A burgeoning gastronomy scene with truffles, award-winning olive oil, and over 130 indigenous grape varieties
- Game of Thrones, Star Wars, and Mamma Mia 2 — Croatia has become Hollywood's favorite filming location
Since January 1, 2023, Croatia is a member of the Schengen Area and the Eurozone. This means: no border queues, no currency exchange. Just hop in and go.
What makes Croatia special is the combination: You can have breakfast in a 1,700-year-old Roman palace, snorkel at a crystal-clear beach at noon, hike through a national park in the afternoon, and enjoy freshly caught fish with local wine in a konoba in the evening. And all this without driving more than two hours.
