The pricing info is outdated (most entrance fees have increased in 2017), but fantastic history section, and very good maps.

[Nickolai]

Самый подробный путеводитель из имеющихся по Хорватии. Хотя излишняя детализация изложения иногда напрягает. Часть информации кажется излишней.

What a delight to read this - we've definitely picked up some good tips, but also bookmarked some cities and towns we want to go back to Croatia for.

Probably the most helpful of the travel guides we used in Croatia. It covered some places not mentioned in the Rick Steve's guide (our other main guide). I really like the sections on recommended reading and music, too. My one criticism is that there's a lot of dry info that's dutifully included about various museums and so on. Usually that turned out to be of limited interest. Still, I know that many readers do want that, so that's a minor quibble.

I love the Rough Guides - they provide enough info for the budget traveler to the occasional top-shelf stay. We're headed to Croatia this fall and this book has given me plenty to dream about. Beautiful pictures, great descriptions... looking forward!

A reliable guide

This is a good guide to a fascinating country. Plenty of background information and useful lists. Keeping current is a perennial problem with frequent visits an impossible ideal.

Though far from perfect, this is the best guide to Croatia I've found.

[Matthew Hurst]

Really useful guide to following Croatia, I would suggest one of the later versions as an earlier version I found read more hard to follow.
