Eh, there are mountains, nothing extreme though. And Zagreb is a pretty big city although not very beautiful or special, also far away from the coast.@@d.dominik1995

Majority of tourists are visiting predominantly coastal Croatia which I do get to some point but, folks, this is only one half of Croatia while the other half if continental! This country has a whole lot more to offer than just very crowded, hyped and usually much more expensive Adriatic places! For the starters, theres magnificent and often overlooked capital city of Zagreb that is full of amazing architecture, history, major attractions, interesting vibe, quirky and world class museums, astonising city parks and greenery, great cuisine... Also in continental Croatia you'll find beautiful baroque era city of Varaždin, grand medieval castles Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and many more, Kumrovec - beautiful open air ethno village with preserved traditional Zagorje region architecture and museum of Josip Broz Tito birthplace, ... There's also Star shaped Karlovac old city centre, Sisak fort, old towns of Samobor, Čakovec, Đurđevac, ... In eastern Croatia you'll also find amazing places: city of Osijek - beautiful place with amazing old town in baroque star shaped fort, Slavonski Brod - city with even larger grand star shaped fort and beautiful old Franciscan monastery and large central square, beautiful town of Požega with famous nearby Kutjevo vineyards, small town Đakovo with grand cathedral and old noble horse stables, medieval Ilok with interesting walls, palace and vineries, Vukovar for its huge historical importance with several great museums, Baranja region beautiful old villages andamazing food and vines, Kopački rit nature park, Papuk nature preserve...

I really loved the island of Brac. Lavender rolling hills mixed with olive trees. Beaches, caves, and cliffs. Krka National Park is also a favourite of mine.
a few days ago i said to my friend that it's sad that you don't have a video about croatia because we're going to fly there soon. my wish has now been granted. great video.😊
@RyanShirley he said he lived in Rovinj before coming to the USA. I asked him he would leave such a beautiful place to come here and he said he wanted to come to America to make a lot of money
Wow! I never knew Croatia was that Beautiful! Plitvice Lakes actually reminds me a bit of Jiuzhaigou in China that I visited this summer. Nice video as always Ryan!
What a coincidence! In a month we are going to have national holidays in China and I am going to visit Jiuzhagiou, in a great memory I have of Plitvice I visited in autumn 2019. Accidentally saw that you are talking about these two amazing places.
I love Ryan’s videos!!! He’s inspired me to get a remote job now out of university and travel. I leave for Croatia next year and this video is SO HELPFUL
Stuff you might wanna check out next time: Ilok fortress, the city of Osijek, the Međimurje region, Rastoke, Brijuni national park, castles of Hrvatsko Zagorje (mainly Veliki Tabor, Miljana and Trakošan), Kumrovec, Čikola river canyon, Mirna river canyon, the 7 waterfalls trail in Istria, Šibenik, Zadar, Komiža, Vela Luka (come to see the music festival in honour of Oliver Dragojević), Neretva river valley... Thanks Ryan for promotiing Croatia.
I recommend you to visit Mljet on your next trip to Croatia. It is a very green island near Dubrovnik - 90% woodland, two beautiful sweetwater lakes, national park and a great view during sunset from its highest mountain. As always great and inspiring video, Ryan !
Thank you for visiting our land. You have made such a great video, short but on point ❤ If you like hiking and wilderness, next time is a good start to visit Mountain Velebit, there are two national parks Paklenica and Sjeverni (North) Velebit.

@@jac7198 If you're referring to extremely overcrowded, noisy and very expensive then you're right, you won't get steamrolled like as in Dubrovnik, Split, Plitvice...

I haven't mentioned these places for a no reason and I seriously doubt one can make such assumptions as you did without visiting these destinations. Did you know that continental Croatia, among many other beautiful but seriously underrated places and attractions, also has several amazing nature parks such as Papuk with also amazing waterfalls?

Ps. Croatian capital Zagreb can be anything but short of backpackers and large number of interesting people from all over the world.
Great trip! You should perhaps sometimes visit the islands of Vis or Mljet, then hop to mainland in Šibenik, and then head up north to the amazing little medieval town called Grožnjan in Istria. It's really worth it.
That was pretty in depth, so I can't wait to see part two. The Adriatic coast is so beautiful and usually blesses with good weather. One of my favorite places is Diocletian's palace in Split, which is fairly intact compared to other roman places. He was the only emperor who actually retired. This is off topic, but I'm really distraught about what happened on Maui. I know you've been there too. Maui is one of my favorite places in the world and I never thought anything this disastrous would ever happen to it.
Thanks so much John! In part 2 I’ll have to visit Split and check out Diocletian’s Palace. It looks fascinating. And it’s truly a tragedy what happened in Lahaina, that was such a cool spot to walk around during vacation. I hope it can be restored in the coming years.
Thanks so much Tom! Where were some of your favorite places in Croatia? And also saw your in Iceland! I’m coming in a few days, maybe we’ll cross paths 😁🇮🇸

Just got back. Beautiful place. Went to many of these locations. If you’re south by Dubrovnik it’s well worth it to head down to the city of Kotor in Montenegro. Another walled city but it’s in a beautiful bay with giant mountains on all sides. My whole trip was amazing.
Such a beautiful country! My favorite place is Plitvice lake national park 🥰 Thank you Ryan for sharing your travel experience in Croatia! Great video as always! Greetings from Flores 😊
It's definitely a must-visit country; its paradises, sea, fortress and castles are just breathtaking and the best thing is it's not commonly visited so, that means heading to this counry will be a luxury for all of us !!.
Woow!!! So excellent video!!! I’m from Croatia and never can get enough of this beautiful islands and crystal clean sea! I’m impressed by how you take tour through Croatia in such a short time and visit the best from it. Great video, excellent Ryan and amazing Croatia!!! ❤🇭🇷
Hehe, how wouldn’t you😅! Dalmatian islands has the most beautiful and clear sea than any part in Croatian cost, so definitely I pick island Vis(if you stay there you should go to island Bisevo with so amazing sea and blue cave)Korcula is so special couse of it’s old town in side, and lots of places to see(from there you can go to small islands too) Next time, if you will come to Dubrovnik you should visit the small island (behind your back in the video) Lokrum (rabbits and peacocks are walking around you, and The Game of Thrones were filmed there also). Off course you have local ferry to another island Lopud(no car over there) where you can find sandy beach Sunj, and nice restoran in the forest. :) But I definitely love islands and nature. Any islands you visit cannot make it wrong couse every of them are special on its own way. Free to ask whatever you want, I would like to help you if I can :)😊
Some other time when you visit Croatia go to interior of Istra see small towns like Motovun. Fallow coast line road from Rijeka to Starigrad (N.P. Paklenica). There are also great hiking trails all along Velebit. Parallel with coast line there are many beautiful river sources, you can visit 5 in one day...etc...For continental part someone else should continue.
AYY LETS GO RYAN i also went to croatia this year and it was such a refreshing experience because it was my first time abroad since lockdown - i went to split, plitvice lakes and the krka national park. all 3 places were absolutely incredible, but i have to say the plitvice lakes were my favourite. in fact plitvice lakes are now my favourite single place ive visited

ALWAYS LOVE TO WATCH YOUR VIDEO BRO
It's definitely a must-visit country; its paradises, sea, fortress and castles are just breathtaking and the best thing is it's not commonly visited so, that means heading to this counry will be a luxury for all of us !!.
Croatia truly has it all!
Superb video! Informative, beautiful, and very helpful for us to plan. Thank you!
Woow!!! So excellent video!!! I’m from Croatia and never can get enough of this beautiful islands and crystal clean sea! I’m impressed by how you take tour through Croatia in such a short time and visit the best from it. Great video, excellent Ryan and amazing Croatia!!! ❤🇭🇷
I’m jealous you live there! What part of Croatia is your favorite?
Hehe, how wouldn’t you😅!
Dalmatian islands has the most beautiful and clear sea than any part in Croatian cost, so definitely I pick island Vis(if you stay there you should go to island Bisevo with so amazing sea and blue cave)Korcula is so special couse of it’s old town in side, and lots of places to see(from there you can go to small islands too) Next time, if you will come to Dubrovnik you should visit the small island (behind your back in the video) Lokrum (rabbits and peacocks are walking around you, and The Game of Thrones were filmed there also). Off course you have local ferry to another island Lopud(no car over there) where you can find sandy beach Sunj, and nice restoran in the forest. :)
But I definitely love islands and nature. Any islands you visit cannot make it wrong couse every of them are special on its own way.
Free to ask whatever you want, I would like to help you if I can :)😊
Pls, me I have a question ooh, are you saying there are no big cities in Croatia? All just islands?
Man you really inspire
One of the best creators
Hope one day to become almost profesional as you are 🤘🙏
Lugares fantásticos que puedo ver en este canal, siempre mostrando los lugares mas hermosos. Y siempre con la mejor edición de videos,.

Looks so cool I can’t wait to spend some time over there!!
I am from Croatia ,and last 4 years my favorite destintion is Makarska :D
Makarska is amazing!🏖️⛰️
My family have been there. It's great
That’s awesome! Where did they visit?
Croatia nice
Truly is a beautiful country
So amazing video and that much nice info. Worth watching
Thanks so much friend!
amazing as always brother!
Thanks so much brother!
Some other time when you visit Croatia go to interior of Istra see small towns like Motovun. Fallow coast line road from Rijeka to Starigrad (N.P. Paklenica). There are also great hiking trails all along Velebit. Parallel with coast line there are many beautiful river sources, you can visit 5 in one day...etc...For continental part someone else should continue.
I’ll definitely have to explore more of Croatia interior next time ☺️🇭🇷
AYY LETS GO RYAN i also went to croatia this year and it was such a refreshing experience because it was my first time abroad since lockdown - i went to split, plitvice lakes and the krka national park. all 3 places were absolutely incredible, but i have to say the plitvice lakes were my favourite. in fact plitvice lakes are now my favourite single place ive visited
Ah dude Thats so awesome you went to Croatia! I wish I visited split and Krka, both look amazing and Plitvice is on another level!
All of you are visiting predominantly coastal Croatia which I do get to some point but, folks, this is only one half of Croatia while the other half if continental! This country has a whole lot more to offer than just very crowded, hyped and usually much more expensive Adriatic places!
For the starters, theres magnificent and often overlooked capital city of Zagreb that is full of amazing architecture, history, major attractions, interesting vibe, quirky and world class museums, astonising city parks and greenery, great cuisine...
Also in continental Croatia you'll find beautiful baroque era city of Varaždin, grand medieval castles Trakošćan, Veliki Tabor and many more, Kumrovec - beautiful open air ethno village with preserved traditional Zagorje region architecture and museum of Josip Broz Tito birthplace, ... There's also Star shaped Karlovac old city centre, Sisak fort, old towns of Samobor, Čakovec, Đurđevac, ...
In eastern Croatia you'll also find amazing places: city of Osijek - beautiful place with amazing old town in baroque star shaped fort, Slavonski Brod - city with even larger grand star shaped fort and beautiful old Franciscan monastery and large central square, beautiful town of Požega with famous nearby Kutjevo vineyards, small town Đakovo with grand cathedral and old noble horse stables, medieval Ilok with interesting walls, palace and vineries, Vukovar for its huge historical importance with several great museums, Baranja region beautiful old villages andamazing food and vines, Kopački rit nature park, Papuk nature preserve...
And this is still not the full list!
Amazing as always Ryan 🙂
Thanks so much Petr! Always appreciate your comments
Thanks Ryan Very nice places you show us😀
Of course! Is there any place you’d like me to make a video on?
@@RyanShirley My dream destination is Japan so I would love to see a video about it.🫶Much love from Poland 🇵🇱
Chega doer os meus olhos, de tão belo, lindo, maravilhoso e infinitamente paisagem e lugares extraordinários. Como um verdadeiro paraíso. Nossa! Eu fiquei de boca aberta, e morrendo de inveja. Que lugar incrível. Ryan parabéns sempre meu nobre. Deus te abençoe ricamente. Um grande abraço daqui daqui do Brasil. São Paulo. 😊 👏.
😍❤
The continental part of Croatia is also beautiful and much more affordable like cities Zagreb, Osijek, Varaždin, Đakovo, Vukovar...
I need to see more inland! Really want to explore Zagreb
@RyanShirley the region around Sibenik is also amazing ie bridge connected Island Murter, Tribunj, Vodice, Krka Falls, Kornati archipelago
What a beautiful commentary on by grandparents on land. Very tastefully, respectfully, and beautifully portrayed. Thank you. It was an honored pleasure watching your video. 😉
That's awesome they're from Croatia! What part of the country are they from?
Great job on your video bud! Thank you very much
Thanks so much Kayden!
Great video on a great country
Thanks so much Chris! Truly is a amazing country
Great video Ryan. Hope your future travels are as fun and fulfilling as these Croatia ones look.
Thanks so much Nigel! Croatia was a great time, more videos to come! Any place you’d like to see a film on?
@@RyanShirley Hi Ryan, So many places! If you're ever in the respective territories - Ionian & Aegean Greek islands - to narrow down for starters 🙂
Ryan your the best in putting these videos , saw your top 20 of Greek islands going there first , can’t thank you enough t your videos and you explanations and voice top notch 👍🏻
Thanks so much Andrew! I’m so happy I could help. What Greek islands do you want to visit most?
Yep! Another great video, Ryan! Much love from Tyler, Texas! 😎 ✌️❤️
Thanks so much Marc! I gotta come make a video in Texas soon
@RyanShirley awesome!!! Come visit! We live in East Texas, but I'm born and raised in the North Dallas/Plano/Frisco area. We also go to Austin and San Antonio quite a bit. Love the videos! I'd love to see a Texas one. 😎
Oh yeah... Texas is not as beautiful as Croatia, but we still have some pretty cool nature areas, and the people are very friendly for the most part. Texas is a cluster of peoplefrom all over the world. It still surprisesme how many peoplemove here. 🤠😎
Wow footage looks amazing!!!
Thanks brother! Croatia is too photogenic
I love Croatia and the people are lovely. I prefer Split to Dubrovnik but am a Brit. Great video as always and I still chuckle about how shook and frazzled you appeared in your Tanzanian hike 😀
I really wish i could've explored more of Split! Haha my legs are still sore from that hike 😅 if i ever do it again I'll make sure to wear proper shoes and get sleep before lol
@@RyanShirley we appreciate the effort you put into these videos. Hope you do Southern Africa and swim up to devils pool at Victoria falls, that will be epic 🤞🏾
MAGNIFIQUE !!! TOP TOP TOP !!!
Thanks brother!!
