Frequently asked questions about hostels in Croatia

  • What are the most affordable attractions for backpackers to visit?

    For budget-conscious travellers, exploring Croatia's natural beauty is key. Hiking the Paklenica National Park trails offers stunning scenery for little cost, while swimming in the Adriatic Sea at numerous free beaches along the coast is a classic and cheap activity. Many towns and cities have free walking tours, offering a great way to learn about the history and culture. Visiting smaller, less-touristy islands like Vis or Mljet can also be significantly cheaper than the more popular destinations like Hvar or Dubrovnik.
  • What are the best hostels in Croatia?

    Among the hostels in Croatia, Hostel Split, Falling Lakes Hostel and Hostel Dvor are the most popular ones.

  • Which airports handle most of the traffic to and from Croatia?

    Zagreb Airport (ZAG) is the main international airport, handling a large proportion of flights. However, Split Airport (SPU) and Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) are also major hubs, particularly during the peak tourist season, catering to those heading to Dalmatia and the Dubrovnik region respectively.
  • What are the best hostels with a pool in Croatia?

    Boutique Hostel Forum, Hostel Scala and Hostel Book'n'hook are the best hostels with a pool in Croatia.

  • What currency do you need for Croatia?

  • How easy is it to navigate the roads in Croatia?

    Navigating Croatian roads is generally straightforward, particularly on the main highways (autoceste). However, some smaller roads, especially in the islands, can be narrow and winding. A car is a great way to explore at your own pace, but be prepared for some challenging drives in certain areas. A GPS is highly recommended, particularly outside of urban areas.

    The best hostels for families and kids in Croatia are Hostel Dvor, Hostel Antique and The Dots Hostel.

  • How can travellers best respect local customs while in Croatia?

    Respectful behaviour in Croatia includes dressing modestly when visiting churches or religious sites. Learning a few basic Croatian phrases is always appreciated. It is considered polite to greet people with 'Dobar dan' (good day) and 'Hvala' (thank you). Being mindful of noise levels, especially during the evening and early morning, shows consideration for local residents. Tipping is not mandatory but is appreciated for good service.

  • What are the best areas to spend a week in Croatia?

    A week allows for exploring different regions. A popular itinerary includes splitting the time between Dubrovnik (exploring the Old Town and surrounding islands), and Split (exploring Diocletian's Palace and the nearby islands like Hvar or Brač). Alternatively, focusing on Istria, exploring Pula's Roman amphitheatre and the charming towns of Rovinj and Poreč, offers a different experience.
  • What are the best areas to spend a weekend in Croatia?

    For a short break, Dubrovnik or Split are excellent choices, offering a blend of history, culture, and beautiful coastal scenery. Zagreb, the capital, is also a great option for a city break, with its museums, galleries, and vibrant café culture. A weekend trip to one of the national parks, like Krka or Plitvice Lakes, offers a nature-focused escape.
  • Are there specific regions in Croatia known for great weather?

    The Dalmatian Coast, encompassing Split and Dubrovnik, enjoys a Mediterranean climate with long, hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Istria, in the north-west, also boasts a pleasant climate, although slightly cooler than the Dalmatian Coast. The islands generally experience warmer temperatures than the mainland.
