Croatia has one of the most spectacular coastlines in the world. Dubrovnik's walled Old City is a UNESCO masterpiece — limestone streets, baroque churches and the impossibly blue Adriatic. Split is a living Roman city where bars and restaurants fill the Emperor Diocletian's 1,700-year-old palace. The Dalmatian islands — Hvar, Brač, Vis, Korčula — offer sailing, lavender fields and hidden coves. The Plitvice Lakes are among Europe's most beautiful natural parks.
