15 Museum Experiences in Croatia Worth Booking

1.Blue Lagoon & Underwater Museum from Split with Lunch & Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,122 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66Our pick

Cruise from Split to Fumija, the Blue Lagoon, and Croatia’s underwater museum with lunch, drinks, snorkeling, swimming, and music.

“This was a good trip. The boat was as advertised. The crew were friendly. The boat made 3 stops and you could swim at all of them. The stops were very busy and you need to be careful about swimming and where other boats are. If you are taking small children please be aware there is a lot of time sailing from place to place and some of the younger children on board did get bored. Overall a good trip to see some of the islands and the underwater museum which was a highlight. The food was good and water and flavoured water was free all day. I would recommend.”

Review of Zagreb’s Museum of Broken Relationships, with emotional stories, practical ticket advice, timing tips, and honest value guidance.

“I really enjoyed this museum! It's a mixture of sadness and humour - a few definitely made me teary. It is a lot of reading but that's what I enjoy - being able to read the stories behind the objects displayed and the relationship that was, and the emotions associated with that. We spent about 1 hour 15 minutes here. Would very much recommend!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 283 reviews · 1 month · from $14

Review of Split's Klis Fortress and Stella Croatica Olive Museum ticket, with practical tips on transport, tastings, views, value, and access.

“The tour of Stella Croatica was informative and entertaining thanks to our guide called Tin. We toured the factory where they make some of the goods they sell in the shop, the botanical garden (briefly) and the museum, before heading to the shop. In the shop you can try the products (cosmetics, food etc) before purchasing. We found some of their products in Split airport too, and I recall the oil being competitively priced. We then ate at the tavern, which is a MUST! The food was great as well as the service. The food is made using produce on the land. You are free to tour the grounds yourself…”

Explore 70-plus illusions at Zagreb’s Museum of Illusions, from upside-down rooms to holograms, puzzles, and clever photo opportunities.

“The museum is very creative ( a little repetitive, but it's ok). It's a great place to take pictures with friends. I missed a little bit of organization in terms of having a path to follow (what in some way is good, because you can spend the time you want, but on the other hand it's kind of messy when there are a lot of people and kids).”
