Low Season (November – April)

Many companies lock their doors during these months due to the decline in activity, and lodging, locations, and activities are scarce. If you plan on visiting during this season, we recommend coming with a specific itinerary in mind or planning your trip around a winter activity.

During the winter, Zagreb, Split, Rijeka, Pula, and Dubrovnik are wonderful destinations to visit in Croatia. The other four locations are acceptable because they offer a sufficient number of sights to visit; they are strategically positioned for day trips; they have a fair selection of hotels open in the winter; and they have a sufficient number of restaurants where you can enjoy a pleasant lunch or dinner.
