I was there for about a day. One day through overnight and next morning. Way too short
Only went there and Split. Liked Dubrovnik a lot more. Everyone speaks Italian there so I think they liked that I was an American who they didn't have to speak English with  Previous Message And while overtouristed during the day, when the cruises leave Dubrovnik at night it's quieter and lit up spectacularly. We went a different route, but based on how long you'll be there, I've heard great things about Mostar and Kotor and they would be good day or quick overnight trips from Dubrovnik. I really enjoyed all of the places in Croatia but none require more than 2 days. You could do 2 days in Dubrovnik, a night each in Split, Mostar and Kotor. A few days out on the islands. Plitvice Lakes is a cool spot not too far from Split. We unfortunately only saw it during a downpour, but it was still pretty.  Previous Message Planning to go June 12-21. Would like to see some history (Dubrovnik, though I hear it's overtouristed) and spend time in the islands around Split (Hvar?). Any itinerary recommendations, places not to miss, places to miss?

- Hvar, Bol, Vis are all awesome from Split. Dubrovnik is more European, if you go north Krk is great - tuffy7 January 15, 2026, 16:20:37
