Product Description
You can count on Rick Steves to tell you what you really need to know when traveling to Croatia and Slovenia. With this guide, you’ll explore charming towns and undiscovered natural wonders. Stroll atop the walls that encircle romantic Dubrovnik, wander through the Roman ruins in the heart of bustling Split, and set sail to the islands of Korcula and Hvar on the glimmering Adriatic. Feel the spray from the waterfalls at Plitvice Lakes National Park. Drive mountain passes in Slovenia’s idyllic Julian Alps. And take side-trips to Montenegro’s dramatic Bay of Kotor and the Turkish-flavored city of Mostar in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Rick’s candid, humorous advice will guide you to good-value hotels and restaurants. He’ll help you plan where to go and what to see, depending on the length of your trip. You’ll get up-to-date recommendations on what’s worth your time and money. More than just reviews and directions, a Rick Steves guidebook is a tour guide in your pocket.

 Best book for this region hands down June 5, 2009

I just returned from a 15 day trip in the former Yugoslavia. My friend and I had Lonely Planet, Eyewitness, Rick Steves and Bradt guides with us for the various countries we were visiting. Hands down the Rick Steves guide became our travel bible as it was helpful, informative, easy to understand and perfectly portable. Not a day went by when we did not utilize it multiple times and others on our tour began using it as well. It covered every single place we went in detail (the other guides did not) and by the end of the trip we had visitied almost every place covered in the book, including Bosnia and Montenegro. The restaurant suggestions were all spot on as well and really helped since in many places there are so many places that it was hard to determine which one to choose. The other guides were good, provided more detailed maps and glossier pictures, but none of them even came close to the quality of information provided by the Steves book. If you are going to visit this part of the world then this book is a must have to take with you.
Wonderful Introduction September 2, 2008

In preparing for a trip to Eastern Europe I picked up this book out of curiosity, although I was not planning to visit either of these two countries. Now I am! Rick Steves' enthusiasm for historical and natural sights, as well as for the people here, has opened a whole new world of interest for me. I only hope the countries are as fascinating as the book.
As in all of his books, Steves states his approach to travel clearly: he doesn't cover everything in both countries, just the "best" places, the best according to him, of course. If your tastes and orientation align with his (interesting, moderately priced travel, including as much local immersion as is reasonable), then you can rely on his books to provide the wonderful backbone of a great trip. For visiting places other than his "best" you will want a more comprehensive guide book, like Lonely Planet, in addition to (rather than instead of) his.

I carried this book through out the western Balkans and it never steered me wrong. It was easy to navigate and effortless to use. In contrast to other guidebooks, the print was easy to read with no small print to squint at. The itinerary suggestions helped me utilize my limited time in the best possible way. The restaurant reviews were spot on. I highly recommend this guidebook.

Rick & Co. does a great job of laying out what a visitor must see and do given different lengths of stays. Rick also brings up interesting places to visit. I hadn't thought about visiting Bosnia, but giving his suggestion of Mostar ended up being quite a delight on my vacation. It gave a completely different and intriguing flavor to my vacation that I hadn't anticipated. His restaurant recommendations are half bad either. Couldn't have made the trip without this book!
