 Travel information about vacation/holiday in Croatia

Croatia is situated in the south of Europe and borders the Alps and runs through until the Panonic lowlands and the banks of the Danube. Croatia borders Slovenia, Hungary, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro. Croatia is also situated at the Adriatic Sea. The tourist areas along the Adriatic coast (Istria, Kvarner Bight and Dalmatia) are popular holiday destinations. There are also archipelagos which are worth a visit: Brijuni is an archipelago consisting of 14 islands. The Kornati is an archipelago consisting of 140 inhabited and uninhabited islands. The capital of Croatia is Zagreb. The city is divided into two parts: the upper, gornji grad and the lower part, donji grad. The height of 36 metres between the two parts are bridged by steep streets, but it can also be made with a cableway. Another touristic attraction is the city of Dubrovnik. This city has an old centre on the list of UNESCO world heritage. Famous are the city walls and the old fortress in the ancient city without traffic. Another attraction is the city of Split, especially famous for the palace of Diocletian, a Roman emperor.

The easy and low cost way of travelling. Hostels do not only provide sleeping but new friendships as well. Hostels, also called youth hostels, provide short-term accommodation to travellers or backpackers, particularly encouraging outdoor activities and cultural exchange for the young. Hostels are also often called backpackers' hostels (or backpackers' for short), particularly in Australia and New Zealand. In a hostel guests often rent a bed (sometimes a bunk bed) in a dormitory and share common bathroom, kitchen, and lounge rooms. Private rooms are often available. The main benefits of a hostel are firstly the low cost of the accommodation compared to alternatives such as hotels, and that one gets to meet other travellers from all over the world. Hostels are usually less formal and less expensive than hotels. They are most frequently used by young travellers. In the past many hostels imposed age limits, but today it is more common for hostels to accept guests of all ages. Despite the openness of modern hostels, the majority of guests are traditionally and overwhelmingly between the ages of 18 and 26.
