The newest choice for island retreats in Europe for jet setters and celebrities alike, Hvar inflames the imagination, aligns the soul, and grabs headlines.

Not just a pretty face, Hvar also shows there is a lot more to the party town of the Adriatic. Wander along the winding maze of cobbled alleyways and come across lines of renovated Venetian townhouses that look like they have been plucked from the pages of a book of fairytales. Whatever you want, you can certainly find it in Hvar – including peace to the soul and relaxation to the body.

Question 3

What to See in Hvar, Croatia?

Accepted Answer

Arsenal: Stated in Venetian documents as "the most beautiful and the most useful building in the whole of Dalmatia," the Arsenal once served as a repair and restoration station for warships. Although you can't enter through the looming, elegant arch, you can climb the stairs to the overhead terrace where you can enjoy the views over Hvar's enchanting harbor to your heart's content.
Trg Sv Stjepana: Measuring at 4,500 square meters, Trg Sv Stjepana takes the reign as the largest square in Dalmatia. Irregularly shaped, the square is as confusing as it is beautiful. Stretching from the harbor to the cathedral, the square was initially part of the bay, and it is this 13th-century walled core that is the center of Hvar’s society. Even in winter, friends and families gather in the elegant open-air cafes and al fresco bistros that spill out onto the polished flagstones.
