However, for many years Croatia has been known as not the most gay friendliest country in the world. The entire world has seen the pictures of Croatian towns Zagreb and Split and the gay pride during which several people were injured just because they were brave enough to say who they are and more importantly who they love. Luckily these times are behind us and the situation has been changing rapidly. There are more and more places in Croatia that are gay friendly. Today Croatia is full of beautiful beaches and people there are usually very open and relaxed. Still Croatia does not have a real gay destination and it probably will not have for some time, but that does not mean you should not visit this Mediterranean pearl.

Rijeka | CROATIAN TOURIST BOARD | Petar Fabjan

The gayest place in Croatia at the moment is the island of Rab. By many it is considered as the most open and there have been many talks that this island would soon start organizing exclusive gay parties. In addition, most famous places in Croatia are Zagreb, Dubrovnik, Rovinj, island of Hvar – particularly town of Hvar and Rijeka.
