Description
This fourth edition of Bradt's "Croatia" further strengthens its outdoors coverage, including new hikes and information on cycling, national parks and environmental issues. It has increased coverage of Croatia's literature and film scenes and includes a new section highlighting the sculptures that dot Zagreb, Croatia's thriving, lively capital. There's new information on Velebit, including the bear sanctuary at Kuterevo and more detailed coverage of the inland destinations of Papuk and Kopacki Rit. All this comes in addition to in-depth coverage of Zagreb and the historic cities of Dubrovnik and Split including the latest hotel and restaurant openings. Plus the book guides visitors from the country's dramatic mountains to its stunning Dalmatian coast with its thousand-plus islands.
