Imagine this: American Cara, a digital nomad and huge Game of Thrones fan, decided to live in Croatia with her family for a month. Why? Because she finally got to live her fangirl dream of walking the streets of Split and Dubrovnik, cities that served as backdrops for some of the most iconic scenes of the mega-popular series. Split was paradise, but not everything was perfect — food was pricier than in Greece, and the crowds were bigger than expected. Still, the sea and pancakes saved the day.
But wait, there’s more! Natoya, another American in Croatia, stirred up a storm on social media by sharing her experience riding the Dubrovnik cable car. The price? Kids pay 8 euros, adults a whopping 30 euros! While the view from the top of Mount Srđ is stunning, the crowded cabins and expensive food at the summit restaurant spoiled the vibe. Some tourists think the price is way too high and not worth it, while others argue Dubrovnik is a luxury destination and the price matches the status. And can the Dubrovnik cable car even be compared to the one in Kotor? Opinions are split, and the debate is heating up.
Croatia is a land of contrasts: on one hand, a paradise for Game of Thrones fans and history lovers; on the other, a destination with high prices and crowds that can ruin the experience. Is it worth paying 30 euros for a cable car ride, or better to hike up? Are the crowds in Split and Dubrovnik a sign of popularity or a problem for tourists? Where’s the line between enjoyment and overspending?
If you’ve ever thought about visiting Croatia, or have already been, you probably have your own take on this. And if not, maybe it’s time to jump into this fiery debate. Who knows, maybe one day you’ll be a digital nomad living your dream in a country where history and modern tourism collide at every corner. Or you’ll just stand in line for the cable car and wonder if it’s really worth those 30 euros. Either way, Croatia never fails to stir strong emotions — the strongest ones!
So, what do you think? Is Croatia truly a tourist paradise or just another overpriced destination? Share your thoughts, tell a funny travel story, or just drop a good meme about cable cars and crowds. This debate is just getting started!
