Best time to visit Croatia

Like any other place in the world, Croatia experiences 4 seasons in a year. The best time to visit climate-wise is the summer followed by the Autumn and Spring, while the winter months are not recommended, on the other hand. The summer months bring in the herds of travelers, so our suggestion would be to plan your Croatia tourism from India in the autumn or spring.

Peak Season

The summer months from June to August are considered to be the peak season in Croatia. The weather is still cool in these months and encourages trips across the country and frequent visits to the beaches. The sun shines for about 8–9 hours and the central parts receive more rainfall when compared with the coasts.

Shoulder season

The Spring (Late March-May) and Autumn (September to Early November) months are considered to be the shoulder months. During these months, the floating tourist population reduces along with a substantial decrease in the cost of the stay. This is a result of the decrease in the number of daylight hours as we move close to November.

Low season

The winter months of December, January and February are considered to be the low seasonal months for Croatia. During the months the temperatures are low as 3 °C along with the country receiving sunshine only for about 2-3 hours a day. Thus very few traveler groups look to explore the lands. The stay cost will be high during the festive season but during the Christmas and New year but see a drop during the rest of the period.
