Croatia’s breathtaking Adriatic coastline and rich cultural heritage have made it a favourite for travellers worldwide. But with over 1000 Croatian islands to explore it can be difficult to know where to begin.
To help simplify the process, VIP Holiday Booker has used a data-driven approach to highlight Croatia’s top destinations.
Split is a perfect blend of Vibrant Nightlife and Rich Heritage
The study ranked Split as the top destination for both nightlife and culture. Split is renowned for its UNESCO-listed Diocletian’s Palace and its vibrant coastal atmosphere.
The city offers an impressive collection of Michelin-recommended restaurants, with even more located across the wider Split-Dalmatia region, allowing visitors to experience the best of Dalmatian cuisine.
Split also had the highest concentration of bars and nightclubs within the study, with the most vibrant spots is the Riva Promenade – a scenic seafront area lined with bars, and cafes
Darijo Saric, CEO of VIP Holiday Booker, explains why Split has become a standout destination:
“Split has a rich historical heritage. Ten years ago, its UNESCO-protected old town was known for attracting visitors seeking a peaceful vacation, fine dining, and thousands of years of history. But it has undergone significant changes over the past decade, often portrayed as a hotspot for strong nightlife.
However, while destinations like Split and Dubrovnik thrive with activity, Croatia is also home to many smaller quieter towns and islands that offer peace and authenticity.”
