One of the most famous sights in the whole of Croa

One of the most famous sights in the whole of Croatia is the stunning St Mark’s Church in capital city Zagreb - mostly because of its wonderful tiled roof. It’s absolutely the kind of place you need to see in real life! With parts of the church from the 13th century making it one of the oldest buildings in Zagreb, the church has been renovated a number of times over the centuries. The colourful tiles - which depict the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Croatia, Dalmatia and Slavonia on the left and Zagreb (actually, Gradec) on the right - were added in the 19th century. To learn more about the church and visiting it, see our special Spotlight On… post.

Thinking back to a glorious summer weekend at the @radissoncollection @grandhotelbrionipula. The ultimate spot for some rest and relaxation in a true luxury setting, from the gorgeous rooms (look at that view!), exquisite spa with numerous treatments, amazing 80-metre long infinity pool and a private beach...not forgetting the utterly delicious food (really - absolutely superb quality) at the Grand Hotel Brioni's five restaurants! With beautiful decor inside (look at all those touches of blue - reflecting the colour of the Adriatic) and out and just a short ride away from the sights of Pula, I'd highly recommend the hotel for a late summer stay. #croatia #croatiatravel #croatiafulloflife #istria #istra #pula #hrvatska #kroatien #seaview #sealovers #skylovers #adriatic #adriaticsea #jadranskomore #travelgram #instatravel #travelguide #bestplacestogo #beautifuldestinations #mustvisit #traveldestination #visitcroatia #visitcroatia🇭🇷

An absolute must for a day trip from Pula / southe

An absolute must for a day trip from Pula / southern Istria - the Brijuni Islands! One of Croatia’s eight national parks, there’s so much to see and do here. (There are 14 islands in the archipelago, but Veliki Brijun is the main one to visit.) This reel gives a little taster - I haven’t even mentioned the ancient olive trees, the historic churches and other buildings, the Mediterranean Garden, the Tito Museum (the islands used to be his summer residence), the 18 hole golf course and so much more. It’s a little slice of heaven in this part of Croatia! You can even stay on the islands for a truly relaxing stay. #croatia #visitcroatia #istria #istra #kroatien #hrvatska #brijuni #brijuninationalpark #brijuniislands #beautifuldestinations #mustgo #travelgram #instatravel

As part of my recent stay at the @grandhotelbrioni

As part of my recent stay at the @grandhotelbrionipula, I of course got to revisit the best of what Pula has to offer. These include its very impressive Roman sights such as The Arena and the Arch of the Sergii, but there’s also the unusual (and a great place to escape the beat) Zerostrasse Tunnels, plus Pula Castle/Kastel (for awesome views) and more. Special mention goes to @farabuto_pula for a highly impressive fish and seafood meal - recommended! #pula #istria #weekendbreak #explorepula #weekendgetaway #istriaadventures #croatiafulloflife #hrvatska #croatiatravel #visitcroatia #croatia_photography #travelcroatia #croatia_lovers #croatiatrip #croatiafullofmagic #beautifulcroatia #lovecroatia #kroatien #shortbreak #weekendaway #croatia

The exceedingly charming little island town of Tro

The exceedingly charming little island town of Trogir - an absolute must as a day trip from Split, but certainly a place to stay in its own right if you want to be in amongst its sights. Or stay on the next island along - Ciovo - for a beach holiday with easy access to Trogir.

Looking for a luxury break in Croatia? I’ve got just the thing for you! I was lucky to spend the past weekend at the @grandhotelbrionipula @radissoncollection in Pula for a truly fantastic little holiday. From the super comfortable rooms with stunning sea views to the top notch Istrian and Croatian food and wine, the sumptuous spa with its many treatments to the 80-meter-long infinity pool and private beach, there was so much to enjoy. (Special mention to the very warm and friendly staff too!) The hotel is a just a short distance from the fascinating sights of Pula with day trips to places such as the Brijuni islands, wineries, olive oil producers, Cape Kamenjak and other coastal towns in Istria easily accessible. An excellent destination for a luxury break in Croatia. Full review on the Visit Croatia blog!
