Fly to Croatia with Qatar Airways and enjoy the vibrant energy of a country famed for its breath-taking shoreline, picturesque countryside and spectacular cities. Its immense archipelago of unique islands creates an infectious charm, and its myriad of Roman ruins tells fascinating stories.

Start in the medieval city of Zagreb, boasting a compelling mix of classical and modern chic architecture. The Upper Town is the historic heart of the city, where you’ll find imposing monuments of the 12th-century rulers, while Gradec is the original artists’ quarter. Also known as the Free Town, it’s filled with galleries and boutiques that carry a bohemian ambience.

Beyond Zagreb, Croatia’s scenery is utterly gorgeous. Head to the coast to wander through secret coves, deserted beaches and quaint fishing villages. You can also go island-hopping using the network of ferries that will take you to some of the islands off the coast – there’s around 1,200 of them. Travel inland and you’ll come across terracotta-roofed villas, vineyards and winding country lanes to drive or cycle along. For gourmet cuisine, venture north to Istria, celebrated for its delicious dishes with Italian influences.
