Want to travel somewhere beautiful,\u00a0exciting, and sans tourist traps? Try Croatia.<\/p>\n

The best kept secret of Europe, Croatia has it\u00a0all: medieval history, sunny beaches, and of\u00a0course, delicious food. Visit Dubrovnik, one\u00a0of the best preserved medieval cities in the\u00a0world.\u00a0As soon as you arrive, you’ll see why Dubrovnik is known as the “pearl of the Adriatic.” Stroll the winding stone walls of this ancient \"Croatiacity, taking in picturesque vistas of terracotta roof tops and sparkling blue waters. Travel north along the Dalmatian coastline, where you’ll see stunning examples of Roman, Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque architecture, as well as a massive stone organ that’s “played” by the lapping waves of the Adriatic Sea.<\/p>\n

See Diocletian\u2019s Palace in Split. Then\u00a0stop by Zadar to see (or rather, hear) the Sea\u00a0Organ, a wave-powered instrument built\u00a0into steps by the sea, to accompany what\u00a0Hitchcock once dubbed, \u201cthe most beautiful\u00a0sunset in the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then head inland to the lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice National Park, a place so incredible it was named a UNESCO World Heritage site. Continue north to experience Ljubljana, the cultural center and capital city of Slovenia, before ending your tour in Venice or continuing on to Rome.<\/p>\n

Ready? We’ll take you there!<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
