    Croatia is definitely the best travel value in Europe, yes, all of Europe. Costs are super low for the quality which is about like Italy at a fraction of the price. And the coastal regions are incredible. It's like the Taiwan of Europe. I am surprised you being Europeans would not know about Croatia.

    One of my favorite summers was spent travelling through Croatia. I highly recommend sailing through the islands between Split and Dubrovnik if you can find a way to do it! So many beautiful and varied islands from pristine nature reserves to historical sites to party islands.

    Ye. Stay longer in Croatia. I was there for only a few days but there must be much to see from north to south. In the last few hours I was in the capital (before sunrise), I decided to take a cab to the national cemetery, Mirogoj to just take a stroll in the burial place with plenty of interesting monuments and tombstones. The drive along the Adriatic sea is also absolutely wonderful.

      We are indeed from Belgium and have been traveling the world for more than 2 years. At the moment Croatia is indeed open for tourism. I recently got a message from Americans who are in Montenegro right now and also did a day trip to Croatia, so it seems possible. Best to properly check to be sure though. Thanks a lot ❤❤

      You need it to enter Croatia. You also need a form completed for Austria that you are just passing through and you need evidence that you are going to another country (like a reservation). Nobody asked us as the Austrian border though, but I'd still recommend having it just to be sure.
