One of Croatia's appeals is its diverse array of things to see and do, from wine tasting to sailing and diving on the beach; from health resorts to architectural sights dating back to 50 AD, there is something in Croatia for everyone.
Zagreb, the nation's capital, is situated on the slopes of Medvednica Mountain and along the banks of the Sava river; it's a center of arts and culture with extensive museums and galleries hosting world-class exhibits and festivals for all to enjoy. In the city of Dubrovnik, nature lovers can find a true Mediterranean landscape filled with narrow streets and small squares, medieval walls and palaces.

Croatians are justifiably proud of their broad palette of high quality food and wine. Visitors should sample the excellent seafood as well as the "manistra od bobica" (beans and fresh maize soup), a local favorite.
