Party like there’s no tomorrow

Some of Croatia’s best nightlife can be found in the northern peninsular of Zadar. The most buzzing area is in the historical centre, which is littered with outdoor cafes and lively bars.

Play in the crystal clear Adriatic

The Dalmatian coast is a water sport wonderland, with plenty of opportunities to windsurf, kitesurf, wakeboard or take a motorboat for a spin around the Adriatic. There are also a number of cycle and hiking trails around both Braĉ and Vis. Croatia’s Adriatic is a popular location among scuba-diving enthusiasts and has great wrecks, coral reefs and caves to explore. Just off Premuda island, at the top of the Dalmation archipelago is the famous wreck dive, Szent Istvan – an 153m long Austro-Hungarian battleship that sunk in 1918.

Many of Croatia’s islands can be reached by boat from Dubrovnik – there is no train station in this city, so you must take the train to Split and then a take a bus from there. Please note that this bus is not included in your Interrail pass.
