Welcome to Croatia & Slovenia

Old Town in Dubrovnik, Croatia

With a stunning string of islands set in crystal clear Adriatic waters, beautifully preserved medieval cities such as Dubrovnik and Split, and a hospitality to rival its Mediterranean neighbours, Croatia has broad appeal. Slovenia is a natural gem, where snow-capped peaks, rivers, lakes and a thick carpet of forests make the landscape an outdoor playground. The attractive capital city of Ljubljana is its vibrant, cultural heart. CROATIA & SLOVENIA Be there

Lake Bled, Slovenia

When to visit The peak summer season between July and October attracts most visitors, however the Adriatic is still warm enough for swimming in May and June, when the crowds are sparser and the prices more attractive. During the winter months between November and April the weather is cool and prices are low, except for the Julian Alps region.
