Croatia
Game of Thrones helped to put Croatia on the tourist map, but savvy travelers have been visiting this Balkan gem for years. A city's museums and restaurants rival those in Paris or London, but the underlying spirit of the capital city is a refreshing change from its Western European neighbors. Outside of the city, Croatia is one of the most biodiverse countries in Europe. Take your pick from limestone caverns, technicolor lakes, and the paradisal Adriatic islands.
The Dalmatian Coast acts as the confluence between southern Croatia's island-dotted coastline and the azure Adriatic Sea. Here, you'll find nature’s lush playground with its picture-perfect towns and historical treasures.
