Is Croatia LGBTQ+ friendly?
In Croatia, same-sex relationships are legal, same-sex couples can form civil unions and discrimination against LGBTQ+ people is prohibited. Equaldex gives Croatia an Equality Index of 57 out of 100.
Source: Equaldex, checked 30 September 2026.
Croatia has made steady progress in LGBTQ+ rights over recent years, reflecting its integration into the European Union and alignment with broader human rights standards. While same-sex marriage is not yet legal, the country introduced life partnerships for same-sex couples in 2014, granting many of the same rights as marriage, including inheritance and shared property rights. Additionally, same-sex couples can legally adopt their partner’s biological children.
Anti-discrimination protections are enshrined in Croatian law, covering sexual orientation and gender identity in areas such as employment, education, and public services. However, societal attitudes can vary, particularly in more rural or conservative regions, where traditional values often prevail. Urban centers like Zagreb and Split tend to be more open and welcoming, with growing LGBTQ+ communities and events.
Zagreb, the capital, is at the heart of Croatia’s LGBTQ+ scene, hosting an annual Pride Parade and offering inclusive venues and events. Split has also seen increasing LGBTQ+ visibility with its own Pride celebrations, reflecting broader societal shifts toward acceptance. Despite these positive developments, public displays of affection may still attract attention in some areas, highlighting the ongoing work needed to achieve full equality and societal acceptance.
For LGBTQ+ travellers, Croatia is a popular destination due to its stunning coastline, historic cities, and inclusive spots, particularly in tourist-friendly areas. While challenges remain, the country is steadily moving toward greater recognition and inclusion for its LGBTQ+ community.

Istria Food & Wine Guide: Croatia’s Best-Kept Culinary Secret
Ask most travellers what Croatia tastes like, and they will describe an oyster in Ston or a glass of wine on the Dalmatian coast. Ask a Croatian, and they will likely point north, to Istria, the wedge-shaped peninsula bordering Slovenia and Italy that produces the country's best truffles, its most distinctive wines, and a version of Croatian food that owes as much to Venice as it does to the Adriatic.

Croatia became the most-used non-British filming location in the entire series, and nearly a decade after the show ended, its old towns are still full of fans tracing the same cobbled streets Daenerys Targaryen and Cersei Lannister once walked.
