Throughout the early 1990's Croatia was a place that was not somewhere that tourists were going to be visiting because of the war taking place. Yet today it is a completely different story and now more and more visitors are flocking again to enjoy the splendors of this beautiful country.

Many people who now visit Croatia are doing so enjoy spending time on the beautiful well maintained beaches and exploring its old villages which have yet been unspoilt. Yet there are also plenty of other things to do and see which can further give you an insight into this beautiful country's turbulent past.

Most people generally when they travel to Croatia either visit its capital Zagreb which is made it back in 1557. They also are now finding just how beautiful other parts of the country are including Dubrovnik and Split.

With Zagreb the Croatians have managed to successfully blend the old with the new. Today one is still able to look and enjoy the Austro-Hungarian architecture for which the city is famous. But also one can spend time wander around the many new boutiques which sell all the latest fashions to be found both in Paris and Milan.

Then there is Dubrovnik, this city remains much of its old world charm and certainly too really take in its architectural splendor you need to spend time wandering around the Stari Grad part of the city. The squares have been paved with marble, and there are steep cobbled streets for you to explore. All the time enjoying the architecture of its many convents, churches and palaces which may have been damaged during the war but which over the last few years have been lovingly restored to their former glories.

In fact if you really want to get a great view of this city then take time out to wander along the city walls and climb one of the 16 towers that are part of it. The actual wall itself was constructed between the 13th and 16th Century and has certainly managed to stand the test of time. However, if you are afraid of heights then a trip up the towers should be avoided as each one stands to a height of 82 feet (25m).

Most people when visiting Croatia to avoid the high temperatures of the summer will visit it in the spring or early part of the summer. However, it is advisable to bring some waterproof clothing as the chances of it raining are much higher at this time.

If you do want to visit Croatia in the summer then arrange a holiday to one of the country's many coastal resorts. You will still have plenty of sunshine to enjoy but also the breezes which blows in off the sea help to make the temperatures at this time of year much easier to bear. However, you shouldn't forget to pack your sun cream as well. Plus a visit in the winter may be worth considering as the heat the water retains during the summer is then released back into the air in the winter and so the climate remains relatively warm.
