Croatia’s rare blend of glamour and old-fashioned authenticity make this Europe’s ‘it’ destination, where beaches and sunshine vie for attention with cultural treasures, ancient architecture and time-tested folk traditions. This flourishing nation on the coast of the Adriatic Sea has such a rich cultural heritage that over six million travelers visit its shimmering shores each year. Tonight is your opportunity to tread on Croatian soil at the lovely Embassy of Croatia.

Even before its independence, Croatia was a jewel among the Slavic people of the Balkan Peninsula. Heavily influenced by the Renaissance, the Croats and Serbs of this area became masters of the arts, particularly literature, music, sculpture, and their straightforward style of painting. The amazing combination of history and culture, a breathtaking coastline, delicious cuisine, and warm weather make Croatia one of the best destinations in the world.
