Do NOT stray from marked paths in rural areas near former conflict zones — unexploded landmines remain. Dubrovnik gets overwhelmingly crowded when cruise ships dock — plan visits around ship schedules.
Explore beyond Dubrovnik — Split, Hvar, Zadar, Plitvice Lakes, and Istria are incredible.
Try fresh seafood, peka (slow-cooked meat/octopus), and local wines from Istria and Pelješac.
Island-hop along the Dalmatian coast — each island has its own character.

Don't bring up the 1990s war casually — it's recent and deeply personal for many Croatians.
