Ever traveled to a place and really wished you hadn’t? We’re hoping the answer is no, but these things do happen. Whether it’s the people, the weather, or just the vibe, sometimes that trip is a regret.

Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world and certainly worth a visit, but to prove their point, the Croatian Tourist Board is giving you a “test drive”.

Thanks to the technological magic of virtual reality, the board has created “virtual walks” through some of the country’s best-known sites. 

“We continuously invest in promotion and communication channels and keep up with modern trends,” said director of the tourist board, Kristjan Staničić. “Digitalisation of Croatian tourism, along with sustainability, represents one of the key strategic directions of its further development, so in the future, we will additionally upgrade this VR platform with new technological solutions, as well as materials for new destinations and language variants.”

There are 63 experiences to choose from, including the Church of St. Blaise in Dubrovnik, the island of Lokrum, and the capital city of Zagreb.

Visitors will be able to zoom in and out, get a bird’s eye perspective, take a 360° view at street-level, and learn about the history of the various places.

Check them out on the Explore Croatia mobile app or on the Croatian Tourist Board website.
