Travel warning advises Glasgow holidaymakers to steer clear of popular location in Croatia

Glasgow holidaymakers in Croatia have been warned about the massive crowds in Dubrovnik, a popular destination known for its role in Star Wars and Game of Thrones. Tourists from the UK have been advised to brace themselves for the high season in Croatia, with one Reddit user suggesting exploring less crowded areas like Zagorje, inland Istria, and the mountainous regions of Gorski Kotar and Lika.

Reports from BirminghamLive highlighted the overwhelming crowds in Croatia during the summer months, with one commenter describing the Plitvice Lakes as “insane” and “very hot.” Another pointed out the impact of tourism on European cities, noting the difficulty in finding affordable long-term rentals due to the influx of tourists.

Many expressed their disappointment with the overcrowding in Dubrovnik, with one person mentioning the influx of cruise ships bringing thousands of tourists to the small old town. Despite the challenges, some still praised Croatia as an amazing destination, urging visitors to explore other parts of the country beyond the touristy areas.

As the debate over tourism’s impact on European cities continues, Glasgow holidaymakers are advised to plan their trips wisely and consider exploring lesser-known regions to avoid the crowds.
