Guidebooks to CroatiaHonestly, nothing can replace a good guidebook for your Croatian trip. I recommend Croatia Insight Step by Step Guide and not only because I wrote it! This series presents you with 15 self-guided tours and itineraries crammed with all the inside tips I've collected in my 13 years of Croatia travel. The book comes with a detailed pull-out map that's so precise you won't even need any other maps.
If you're looking for an active holiday
in Croatia, then Rudolf Abraham's Walking in Croatia (Cicerone County Walking Series) Croatia MapsA good road map is essential for getting around Croatia. See my list of downloadable maps, online maps and recommended maps to buy. Croatia Phrase booksYes it's true that most Croatians you're likely to meet speak at least a little English but you'll have a better time if you learn to speak a little Croatian. Take a look at Lonely Planet's Croatian phrasebook with phrases for everything from "Where's the meeting? " to "You were made for me". And there are other tools (talking dictionaries, games) to make learning to speak Croatian fun. Croatian CookbooksWhen you try the delicious food in Croatia, you may want to re-create the pleasure.
