The Rough Guide to Croatia

This book was a great help when I was planning my trip to Croatia as well as a perfect guide once I arrived. The condition of the book was perfect. A little known country explained well by this author!

This is just what I was looking for. I am planning a trip and wanted to become familiar with Croatia. Even though I will be on a tour we will have free time that I wanted to use in the best way. This book looks like it will be a very big help. Well written.

I used this book for a week in Croatia, visiting Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Split, and Brac. It was right on for timetables, maps, etc. This is the most important part for me, as I need a guidebook to be accurate in telling me when/how to take a train/bus from one place to another. Also, I liked seeing a few photos before I went, which helped determine what I wanted to see. Everything was written clearly, and organized well. The book is also a good compact size, easy to carry and not too heavy. I especially appreciated the history on cities and sites, as there is much to know about these old towns.

I recently went for a vacation to Croatia equipped with both the Lonely Planet Croatia and the Rough Guide to Croatia. I quickly discovered how truly useless the Lonely Planet Guide is. I never really used the restaurant and club guide as I like to discover local eats on my own but the logistical travel information was tremendously helpful and always correct. It made my time in Croatia fun and easy.

I bought 3 diff books on Croatia 2 were a waist of money. This one is by far the best. Has much much more usefull information
