Continuing our series of posts about Croatia month to month, it’s time to talk about the months of April and May, and spring in Croatia. This time of year the temperatures are not so low. The climate on the coast can be very pleasant with minimum temperatures between 9°C and maximum 24°C. In areas such as Zagreb is also warmer with temperatures between 5°C and 19°C. So if you prefer to travel with mild temperatures these months are a good choice, consider also that many sights will be much emptier and quieter than during the high season.

Considering the low temperatures, is very hard to dive into the sea at this time of year, generally, the ones who venture into the icy water are tourists coming from northern Europe, already accustomed to very low temperatures. But if you are coming at the end of May, and consecutive sunny days happen, it is indeed possible to venture a dip in the Adriatic Sea.

Since is spring the country is beginning to flourish and you will be able to witness many wonderful colors in the cities. There are various shades of red, yellow and green; this foliage exchange can be a beautiful spectacle. So during this period is also very worth it to visit the national parks like Plitvice Lakes, and even Krka National Park.
