Croatia: The Bradt Travel Guide (Fourth Edition) Piers Letcher We highly recommended this travel guide the first, second AND third times, so we definitely do so again for the fourth edition (published May 2010)! One of the best guides on Croatia, a must for all those visiting the country this year. The Bradt Travel guide goes into considerable detail on all aspects and features, has rather extensive background and practical information sections, whilst of course providing comprehensive information about all areas and regions of the country. Great for all types of travellers, from holidaymakers to backpackers, families to lone travellers. Contains stunning photos and various clearly laid out maps - also very well written with plenty of insider hints and tips from the author, which are even quite humorous at times! Read our interview with the author, Piers Letcher, here and take a look at some of his stunning photos of Croatia in our Images of Croatia section.
National Geographic Traveler: Croatia Rudolf Abraham National Geographic's first ever book on Croatia, this is from the same excellent author as the Walking in Croatia book (see further down the list) so you know he knows his stuff! Beautiful images accompany the text, and there's some really great activities routes (walks, hikes, bike rides, wine tours) that it lays out for you. Great on history of Croatia's sights too. Published March 2011.
The Rough Guide to Croatia (Fifth Edition) Jonathan Bousfield Someone on Amazon's website said: "The Rough Guide to Croatia is fantastic! There is a great balance between what to see and the history behind it. Since I live here, I know where the places are that are listed, and now I know the interesting facts behind them." Your webmasters could not agree more! Very comprehensive, well researched and packed with details. Our hats off to the author! Published April 2010.
Croatia Cruising Companion Jane Cody & John Nash Great idea for a book, this is a fantastic guide to Croatia from a sea-cruising point of view - and with sailing in Croatia becoming more and more popular, this guide is indispensible. Includes port guides, colour charts for harbour entrances and approaches and pilotage directions.
Lonely Planet Croatia (Fifth Edition) Anja Mutic The sixth edition (published in March 2011) of one of the very first guidebooks on Croatia ever published from this ever popular series. We're sure that everyone's used a Lonely Planet guide at least once in their lives, so you know what to expect from this one! Recommended (as always with Lonely Planet guides), this one also neatly lies out what to see and do (and where to stay) in all regions of Croatia.
Time Out Croatia (Second Edition) Published July 2009, Time Out have updated their guide to the country. An excellent book, as always from this well renowned publisher.

The Croatian Adriatic (Third Edition) Radovan Radovinovic (Editor) We would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who wants slightly more detailed knowlege of what they're going to see in Croatia. This amazingly in-depth guide mentions almost every city, town and village (no matter how small!) with particular attention being paid to cultural and historical sights. Includes maps and city plans, as well as many fantastic photographs. This book, however, should really only be bought as an accompanying or second guide to one of the above books as no accommodation, entertainment, travel details and so are given. To be honest, we use it as a reference book for some of the trickier questions we receive about small coastal villages. Publised by the leading Croatian publishers Naprijed in Zagreb, in February 2008.
Walking in Croatia (Second Edition) Rudolf Abraham Updated in 2010, this is the first (and only!) book on the subject. Some wonderful walks to be had all over Croatia; very detailed.
Berlitz Croatia Pocket Guide I think we've all used a Berlitz guide at one point or another! Great little (literally!) guides that provide useful information for those that want the basic facts without wading through thick volumes. Perhaps not so suitable for a longer stay, or those that plan some serious sightseeing! However, it is quite a useful guide for easy, quick reference on the basics - currency, communications, opening hours and so on. Published April 2011.
