Croatia

Croatia is the next "big" thing in travel. Zagreb, the beautiful capital city of Croatia, amassed a 30% increase in tourists year-over-year in 2016, and the popularity given to Dubrovnik via its involvement in Game of Thrones (Dubrovnik is the actual location attributed to King's Landing in the show) has fans of the show flocking to this beautiful coastal area. Cities like Split fly under the radar, but are no less impressive.
