Hvar in May: An Adventure Tourism Bonanza

2 weeks ago | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

April 26, 2025 – As thoughts turn towards lazy summers on Croatian beaches, active tourists are heading to Hvar in May, where there is quite a programme. Although I moved from Hvar in 2016, a lot of people think I still live there, and if people know anything about me, my love of Hvar and the 9,000 articles I have written about that magical island are probably top of the list.
Croatian Tourism Noise: Hvar Reverts to National Policy

1 month ago | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

March 24, 2025 – Croatian tourism noise and Hvar Town: Is one of Croatia’s most elite destinations being singled out, and is there a national, rather than a local, issue that needs to be addressed? Before I start, let me acknowledge that whatever I write on the subject of anything related to party tourism on Hvar, the polarising opinions of both sides mean that nothing anyone can write would satisfy everyone.
Summer is Coming: Early Bird Discounts in Paradise with Suncani Hvar Hotels

2 months ago | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

February 21, 2025 – Lazy days by the glistening Adriatic on Croatia’s Premier Island are not far away, and a chance for a little saving with the Suncani Hvar hotels early booking scheme…It was a glorious day in Zagreb, one of the very best in winter. Bright sunshine in uninterrupted blue skies as I walked at length through the Croatian capital. And, having lived on Croatia’s sunshine island for 13 years, there is only one place my mind goes back to when the sun is shining.
Zaks Heritage Collection, Stylish Traditional Croatian Jewelry

Nov 29, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

November 29, 2024 – A perfect gift idea for those proud of their Croatian heritage – meet the Zaks Heritage Collection. One of the things that always strikes me about Croatia is just how proud its people are about the country and heritage, and they like to celebrate their Croatian-ness at every opportunity. Seemingly everyone in the country owns a national team football shirt, as was evidenced by the 550,000 people on the streets of Zagreb after the 2018 World Cup Final.

Nov 8, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

November the 8th, 2024 – Zagreb attracts the crowds for plenty of reasons, from history to culture to its proximity to plenty of places across Europe, but that’s far from all. The Zagreb gastro scene is booming, and the Croatian capital has everything from old markets selling local produce to festivals and a vibrant culinary offer.
Zagreb Craft Beer Scene Boosts Croatia's Hip Destination

Oct 16, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

October the 16th, 2024 – The Zagreb craft beer scene is booming, with something to suit every single palate from an increasing number of fresh breweries. If you’d asked the majority of people about Zagreb about a decade ago, you’d have been met with one or two responses. The first would have been “Where?” and the second would have been “I’ve landed there/flown from there”. It’s no secret that Zagreb’s potential was unseen. It was one of Europe’s less interesting capitals.

Sep 22, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

September the 23rd, 2024 – Where couldn’t possibly be better during the off-season? If you said “Hvar”, then you’re correct. Hvar, a Dalmatian gem known as Croatia’s premier island is set to host the exciting (and gruelling) Spartan World Championships 2024. Croatia doesn’t get a lot of loving internationally when the temperatures drop and the clouds roll in.

Aug 23, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

August 23, 2024 – Zagreb has a lively – and very quirky – museum scene, one that keeps on evolving. It is said that Zagreb has the most museums per capita in the world. True or not, what is for certain is that the Croatian capital has one of the world’s most vibrant museum scenes, and one which seems to expand into new and exciting directions every year.

Jul 31, 2024 | total-croatia-news.com | Paul Bradbury

August the 1st, 2024 – People learn languages in different ways. And if you’re learning standard Croatian, learning in a cafe on a Dalmatian island is not the way. Meet the dialect killers. Some people have a natural ability to learn languages. They can pick them up naturally in no time at all. And then there are those who find a great teacher or language school. And then there are those who think that they can pick up the language by chatting to locals in a cafe on a Dalmatian island.
