Croatia ranked among the best countries in the world in the 2024 Readers’ Choice Awards by Condé Nast Traveller.

Ranked 11th in the world, with an impressive score of 89.43, Croatia continued to win hearts last year, thanks to its blend of natural beauty, history, and authentic experiences.

For the second consecutive year, Japan has claimed the top spot with a score of 95.32, highlighting its unparalleled cultural heritage, modern innovation, and timeless appeal.

Switzerland came in second place, followed by Thailand, France and New Zealand.

According to Condé Nast Traveller, the “secret’s out” about Croatia.

While iconic destinations like Dubrovnik and Split are becoming as popular as Venice or Amsterdam, they say that the country offers far more than just its famous tourist spots. Visitors can enjoy unique and authentic experiences such as sampling locally produced olive oil in Istria, exploring Trogir or road-tripping through vineyards and oyster farms.
