Croatia Vacation Packages

Best time to take a trip to Croatia

Many consider spring and fall, and especially the months of May and September, to be the best times to visit Croatia because temperatures are moderate during these seasons. Because the interior and coastline of Croatia have different climates, your ideal time to visit may depend on which area you want to spend the most time in and what activities you want to participate in. Summers can be extremely hot, with average highs in the low 90s, especially on the coast. Winters may be too cool for swimming, and the interior areas of Croatia may experience snow during the winter months.
