If you're a food lover, be sure to do a car tour of the Buzet region of northern Istria, which lies not far from the Slovenian border.  The area's rolling, verdant landscapes are simply magnificent, and it is considered one of Croatia's main gastronomic regions.

A magnificent series of vegetation-covered islands, the archipelago lying off the west coast of Istria and formed by two large islands, Veliki Brijun and Mail Brijun, and twelve islets was chosen by Marshall Tito as the location of his summer residence and as a place where he could receive and host his visitors, especially the heads of the non-aligned states.

The most beautiful parks in central Croatia


Beautiful Dubrovnik has kept its battle scars in ex-Yugoslavia. You will learn about the history on a tour of the old town, in the museums and in the beautiful photo gallery.

Though Slavonski Brod, a city in the Slavonia region of Croatia, is worth a quick visit perhaps, it is definitely not somewhere you should go out of your way to see.

I spent a few hours in Slavonski Brod on my way back from the Slavonia region and, out of season as it was, there was not much going on in the city at the time. I remember stopping at the tourist office and finding out that the nearby museum was closed. I was therefore left with no choice but to visit the monastery and the Baroque style Franciscan church followed by the imposing fortress, with its brick walls that seem to go on forever! Though these are both enjoyable places to visit, they are not enough on their own to justify making a trip here in my opinion. For me, Slavonski Brod is simply somewhere to stop at briefly for a quick look around. I preferred the nearby town of Dakovo. If you happen to be in this area, however, add the town of Našice, a few kilometres to the north, to the list of places you visit in Croatia. There is a small castle (Pejačević) and a museum to see there.
