 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.

A guide book is a book for tourists or travelers that provides details about a geographic location, tourist destination, or itinerary. It is the written equivalent of a tour guide. It will usually include details, such as phone numbers, addresses, prices, and reviews of hotels and other lodgings, restaurants, and activities. Maps of varying detail are often included. Sometimes historical and cultural information is also provided. Different guide books may focus on different aspects of travel, from adventure travel to relaxation, or be aimed at travellers with larger or smaller travel budgets. Guidebooks can have factual problems, information may be out of date (especially for regions undergoing rapid development), the author may have a hidden agenda (for example free meals or rooms in exchange for inclusion in the book or a favorable review -- compare tout). Guide books are generally intended to be used in conjunction with actual travel, although simply enjoying a guide book with no intention of visiting may be referred to as "armchair tourism".
