Croatia: The Bradt Travel Guide (Second Edition)
Piers Letcher

We highly recommended this travel guide the first time, and we do so again for the second edition! Certainly a must for all those visiting the country this year. The Bradt Travel guide goes into quite a bit of detail on all aspects and features, has quite extensive background and practical information sections, whilst of course providing comprehensive information about all areas 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, and even quite humorous at times! Read our interview with the author, Piers Letcher, here and take a look at some of his photos of Croatia in our Images of Croatia section.

The Rough Guide to Croatia (Fourth 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 Jonathan Bousfield!

Insight Pocket Guide Croatia (with map)
Jane Foster

We like this short, concise yet comprehensive guidebook and, as they say on the cover, "this is the guide that answers the questions you'd ask a friend who lived in Croatia." Includes a pullout map, very useful map. Written by a British journalist who lives in Split.

The Croatian Adriatic
Radovan Radovinovic (Editor)

Although published in 2003, and hence not the latest book around, 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 etc. details 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.

Berlitz Croatia
Robin McKelvie,
Gregory Wrona (Photographer)

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.
