One of Croatia’s best-preserved cities, Šibenik somehow flies under most travelers’ radars.

For starters, it has two UNESCO sites: its gorgeous landmark, the 15th-century St James’ Cathedral, notable for its frieze of 71 comical faces carved into its facade, and St Nicholas Fortress, a sea-bound fortification built during Venetian times that’s linked to the mainland via a walkway, granted the World Heritage honor in 2017.

This once carefully guarded city boasts three other fortresses; Barone is the most visit-worthy, thanks to its excellent visitor center and interactive exhibits.

👉 Planning tip: Hop on the ferry for the short trip to tiny Zlarin, a car-free island.
