Holidays from Glasgow to Croatia

Glasgow departures give you options to reach the Adriatic with a short onward journey once you land, and our packages are built around the airports that suit each coastal base.

• Dubrovnik: Dubrovnik is the southern gateway for travellers who want a walled medieval city as their base. The airport sits a short distance from the centre, and shuttle buses and taxis run into the old town, so you can be inside the city walls well before dark on arrival. We find it works best for couples and culture-focused travellers who want the old town on their doorstep. The trade-off is that summer evenings in the old town are busy, so we suggest booking accommodation inside the walls or just outside them for a quieter night. It is exactly the brief our Dubrovnik holidays deals are built around.
• Split: Split is the central Dalmatian hub, and its airport connects by shuttle bus and taxi to the city centre, making it a practical first night or base for the whole trip. From there the islands are reachable by ferry, so it suits visitors who want a lively city with island access rather than a single quiet resort, the same brief our Cheap Croatia Holidays deals are built around. The drawback is that the city can feel busy in peak summer, so we recommend choosing a hotel close to the waterfront or the palace for an easier walk back at night. It works well for a mix of city sightseeing and island days.
• Zagreb: Zagreb is the capital, and it has a direct airport bus into the city, which makes arrival simple even after a late evening flight. The inland location means the weather is different from the coast, with cooler winters and snow possible, so it suits city-break travellers who enjoy museums, cafés and the historic upper town of Gradec. It is a practical option for a shorter stay or as a first leg before travelling to the coast, the same brief our Croatia Last Minute Holidays deals are built around. We would recommend this base for visitors who prefer urban sightseeing over beach time.
• Rovinj: Rovinj is a small fishing town on the Istrian peninsula, and reaching it usually involves a longer transfer from the main airports, which is worth factoring into your planning. Its old town rises from the sea on a peninsula, dominated by the Church of St Euphemia, and the atmosphere suits couples and food lovers who prefer a quiet coastal stay. The longer journey is the trade-off for a town with a very different character to the Dalmatian cities, the same brief our Croatia holidays deals are built around. We confirm the transfer details with you before departure so the onward journey is clear.
• Plitvice Lakes: Plitvice Lakes National Park lies inland, so a visit from the coast involves a long road journey, and we suggest planning it as a dedicated day or as part of an inland stay. The park's sixteen interlinked lakes and waterfalls are best seen early, when the wooden walkways are quieter and the water is calm. The trade-off is the travel time, but for many visitors the lakes are the highlight of the trip. We advise checking the transfer options with us before you finalise your package.
