Croatia is a hip destination these days, with a reputation for being the perfect combination of off-the-beaten-path travel with a little bit of seaside luxury.

And while Croatia is famous for its lavender fields and picturesque Adriatic villages, it is not yet common knowledge just how wonderful shopping in Croatia can be.

No matter what kind of traveler you are, from budget to luxury, there’s a perfect Croatian souvenir here waiting for you.

Here are our recommendations for where to stay in Dubrovnik. We’re in the process of creating comprehensive guides on where to stay in other Croatian cities, but for now, we recommend checking out Booking.com as early as possible since this is a popular time to visit. These are some of the places we suggest you check.

When I think of Croatia, one of the first things that come to mind is the sight of endless blossoming lavender fields. While I can’t bring home an entire lavender field, I can fill my backpack up with locally made lavender products, especially soaps and other cosmetics that make getting ready in the morning extra soothing.

I also picked up some lavender essential oil, which I keep in my backpack to add to laundry on the road. By adding a few drops to boiling water, I can make my entire apartment smell like lavender. It is a spectacular way to reflect on my time in Croatia.

Another lavender souvenir I bought in Croatia and can’t live without are small satchels of dried lavender. I keep one in my backpack to keep my clothes smelling fresh when I travel. I also threw a couple into my underwear drawer at home to brighten my day while getting dressed.
