Dubrovnik is based in the south-west of Croatia and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Croatia, as the city is situated right on the cusp of the Adriatic Sea. In this guide, we will explore a bit more about Dubrovnik for British tourists.
Due to its location, Dubrovnik is famed for its infamous maritime trade. In 1991, the city was involved in the ‘siege of Dubrovnik’ for a total of seven months, which led to a lot of the population fleeing from the city. From the 1991 census to the 2001 census, the population of Dubrovnik decreased by 6,000 people to 43,770, however, this figure is expected to rise when the next census is released. In 2001, roughly 90% of the population were Croat, which is under the national average. This supports the fact that many ‘local’s’ fled during the troubles of 1991.
Dubrovnik is famed for its wonderful summer festival which spans over 45 days of summer. The summer festival includes a variety of plays, concerts and games. Dubrovnik also has some of Croatia’s more notable beaches, which is always a bonus for British tourists!
Dubrovnik has two universities, four colleges, including an American college, and an academy specialising in science and arts.
The temperature in Dubrovnik is lower when compared to a major city like Split. However, the average temperature in the summer months is still 28 degrees. During the winter months, Dubrovnik is slightly milder than split. On average, the summer months have about four days of rain, while winter months usually have in excess of 11 rainy days.
The city of Dubrovnik has an almost Italian like ‘setup’ around the city, with a variety of cobbled pavements and rather cluttered towns. However, this adds to the amazing history, and is one of many reasons why British tourists visit the city.

From the low season, we would like to focus on the winter months in this article.
The winter in Split is mild, with temperatures about 10 – 12 ° C, and when it’s not too windy, you can be part of many activities and events during all the winter months.
In those winter months, the main events are Advent, Christmas celebration (and also St. Stephen’s day – also known as Boxing Day in the US and Canada and St. John’s Day) – 4 days in a row, afterwards as a sweet conclusion and great party is at the New Year’s Eve.
The atmosphere on all those events is something what you have to experience by yourself.

As Split is a city on the coast, please keep in mind that the chances to have a white Christmas are not big – it’s snowing from time to time, but very rarely.

As other coastal destinations, Split is also less connected with other European cities by plane, but the bus, train and ferry connections remain the same, so you have several options to arrive in Split and enjoy the city while it’s not too crowded and with a less number of tourists.

Split is still connected with bigger European cities by plane, like Rome, Frankfurt, Cologne, Munich, Stuttgart and of course with the Croatian capital city – Zagreb. Furthermore, additional flights to nearby islands are possible with the European Costal Airlines (ECA) seaplane.

The Ferry also connects Split with nearby islands and with the Italian city Ancona. Bus connections are available as national and international lines to many European countries.

If you’d like to get a souvenir or some other gift for your friends and/or family, most shops and shopping centers will have longer open in December.
Two bigger shopping malls are City Galleria Zadar (closer to the city center) and Supernova Zadar (at the edge of the town, on the main road – you won’t miss it).

Also, there will be a lot of private held shops with discounts, so we’re sure you’ll find a gift for everyone you wanted and surprise your closest friends and family with a present from Zadar.

The main season is over, the summer is behind us.
Christmas is coming soon, but Dubrovnik is also thinking about their winter guests.
Not only summer, sun and sea, but also winter events like free guided city tours, advent events, Christmas and New Year celebration etc.

Middle November, Dubrovnik introduced a new event - free (English) guided city tours every Saturday until March 12th 2016.
The start is every Saturday at 10 AM in front of the Tourist Information Center (TIC) Pile.
The address is Brsalje 5, Dubrovnik.
In order to attend this event, you have to sign up for it at least one day before - no later than Friday ad 6 PM.
Another requirement is a minimum stay of 3 nights in Dubrovnik.
This offer is only for individuals, not group arrangements as we heard from the tourist information center.
After the tour, the attendants will have a chance to see the famous Dubrovnik folklore ensemble named Linđo on the Stradun street, in front of the St. Blaise (Sv. Vlaho) church, of course also free of charge.
If it will be raining, the performance of the folklore enseble will be in the cinema "Sloboda". 
This is one more event with which the city wants to bring more tourists during the low season, as they are currently no charter flights and cruisers arriving during the winter months.

Another event is Advent in Dubrovnik, which will last from 28th November 2015 till 10th January 2016.
During this event, there will be a Christmas fair placed on Stradun - the main street in the city center, where you can buy handmade souvenirs, gifts for Christmas etc.
The atmosphere in this UNESCO city is always breathtaking - the guests which are coming back every season know that, and they know also how beautiful Dubrovnik is during the Advent, Christmas, New Year's Eve.
We're sure that you'll better get to know the city during the low season, when they are not so many tourists as in the summer months.
So, Advent in Dubrovnik is definitely recommended.

There will be also held a Dubrovnik Winter Festival, culinary workshop named "Dubrovnik in winter", a lot of concerts, and events with Santa Clause etc.
We will be glad to welcome you in the beautiful time of Christmas.
We're expecting you and hope to see you soon!

Split was recognized by ECA (European Coastal Airlines) as a very popular tourist destination and also as a main port for connecting the surrounding islands and other cities by a seaplane. Operating since August 2014, ECA is growing and expanding and the latest news are the flight connections between Split and Ancona.

As the current timetable says, at this moment Split (downtown) is connected with 8 destinations, one international – Ancona Airport (Italy) and seven domestic destinations: city of Jelsa (island Hvar), Lastovo island (with one stop), Mali Lošinj Airport (island Mali Lošinj), city of Pula (with one stop), Resnik (Split Airport Seaside), Vela Luka (island Korčula) and Zadar airport.
All destinations except Pula and Zadar are also connected with a car ferry, but the journey lasts much longer and during the high season, it is possible that this solution could also be more expensive, which gives a big plus to the ECA seaplane operator.

For example, if you are arriving Split from Italy, you would either take the ferry which lasts about 11 hours (overnight) or take the seaplane which will get you into Split downtown in under one hour – only 59 minutes is the flight duration between those two cities.

Another example are the domestic destinations and islands – it will take you between 2.5 and 3.5 hours to get from Split to Vela Luka by ferry, or even 4 to 5.5 hours to get to Lastovo island, which is in comparison to the ECA seaplane operator much longer.

If you rather choose the plane, it will only take you 16 minutes to Vela Luka and 53 minutes to Lastovo (with one stop) and in this scenario you also get a great panoramic flight included in the price – you’ll see the Dalmatian coast from a fabulous perspective.

Yes, sometimes it probably will be more expansive, but like with every other airline company, if you buy the ticket early enough, you can get a discount or follow the company in their social networks to find always great deals.
It also happens that in the high season the prices are lower than those from the ferry transfer, as already written in the beginning.
But, keep in mind the sentence “time is money” – you’ll save a lot of time, you’ll see the beautiful islands, coast, villages etc. from a bird’s view.
I believe it’s worth the extra penny you’ll pay for.

Zadar is a city in the middle part of Dalmatia, on the Croatian coast. It’s very well connected with other bigger Croatian cities as well as with other European cities.

If you’re not arriving with your own car or coming by a taxi, then you have several options how to arrive in Zadar, in dependency from where you’re coming.

By ground transportation, we mainly mean bus and train.
Zadar is very well connected with many local and national (from Osijek, Zagreb, Rijeka, Šibenik, Split, Dubrovnik etc.) and international bus lines (from Austria, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina etc.).
You can find all important information about the Zadar bus terminal on their website.
There is also a way to come by train, but we don’t recommend it, unless you’re a big train fan since the journey from Zagreb via Knin to Zadar takes too much time.
You can check the timetables at the website of the Croatian Railways.
Comparing those two transportation, we suggest to take rather the bus because it’s faster, more reliable and the buses drive more often than trains.
Both train and bus station are located next to each other, about 1.5 km from the old town, which means you can enjoy a walk or take a cab.
To avoid the hassle of having to organize everything, you can check out private transfer option!

Zadar is connected with Croatian cities (Zagreb, Pula) by the national company Croatia Airlines.
There are also other international airlines which operate during the whole year by connecting Zadar with many European cities, and also airlines which operate mostly during the season (from April till September/October).
A new way to travel by air was recently introduced – the company European Costal Airlines has set up a connection between Zadar and several islands and cities in the surrounding and this option would take you 17-30 minutes to get fast from Zadar to some other place in Croatia (and soon also to Ancona, Italy).
For more information about the timetables, please visit the Zadar Airport website or the European Costal Airlines (ECA) website. From the Zadar airport, you can take the bus to the city center and old town or you may get a taxi.

You can arrive in Zadar also with a ferry from the nearby islands or with the international ferry which connects the Italian city of Ancona and Zadar.
The ferries are arriving in two ports, one of them is in the city center and the other one is a little bit outside the city center (Gaženica port), from where a public bus or taxi is required to get into the old town.
Since July 2015, the ferry from Ancona arrives in the Gaženica port, which is about 3 km southeast from the old town. Please check before arrival in which port you’ll arrive.

Split Airport is the second busiest in Croatia after Zagreb, handling a record 1.7 million passengers last year.
