Best Croatia Guidebooks

Every major guidebook company from Lonely Planet to Let’s Go makes at least one Croatia guidebook.

Most guidebook companies also make a book on specific cities or regions, as the country’s territory and diversity of places to visit make for enough material for a full guidebook.

If you’re only planning on visiting one major city or region in Croatia, getting a specific guidebook for the area is a good idea. For example, Lonely Planet’s book on Dubrovnik gives good in-depth coverage of Dubrovnik and the surrounding areas.

If you’ll be visiting lots of places in Croatia, getting a larger guidebook like The Rough Guide to Croatia is a good idea. If you’re handy with scissors, you can cut out the chapters you need and leave the rest of the guidebook at home to save room as you pack your bags.

Once you know what size Croatia guidebook you need, shop around for a guidebook that fits your travel style. If you’re backpacking, Lonely Planet, Let’s Go, and the Rough Guide are some of the best Croatia guidebooks.

If you love sightseeing, consider picking up the Eyewitness Travel Guide to Croatia. With photos and illustrations on every page, the Eyewitness Croatia guidebook is great for explaining the details of Croatia’s many historic buildings and landmarks.

On a budget? A lot of the best deals on Croatia guidebooks can be found on websites where travelers that have just returned from Croatia are selling their books. If you’re lucky you can get a copy with good notes and suggestions written in!

One last tip on finding the best Croatia guidebooks: check the date the guidebook was published. If it is more than a year old, don’t buy it. Things change so quickly in Croatia that an old guidebook will be of little use to you today.
