Compare countries and cities by VanSky score and pick your next stop
A comparison of 46 cities in Croatia by VanSky score — how comfortable it is to travel in each today. We factor in temperature, wind, sun and conditions by the sea. Sort by any metric and pick your next stop.
The country score (0–100) is computed from all of its cities, not a single point. Cities are grouped into regions, and a region's score is the median of its cities so dense clusters don't outweigh sparse ones. Final score = 0.65 × “best areas” (80th percentile of regions) + 0.35 × “typical conditions” (median of regions), so one warm city can't push the whole country to 100. Each city's score blends warmth (feels-like), sun, rain and wind, adjusted for night temperature and, on the coast, the sea. Data: Open-Meteo, refreshed several times a day.
The scale above shows what share of the country's cities falls into each comfort band. “Best spot” is the most comfortable region or city this week; “typical conditions” is the median score across regions.

EU Directive 2025/2205 will let category B licence holders drive motorhomes up to 4250 kg, or up to 5000 kg with a trailer, but only after additional training or an exam. In Croatia, the rules are not yet in force.
Croatia by motorhome is relatively straightforward: a good road network, plenty of campsites along the Adriatic coast, and payment in euros since 2023. However, wild camping is officially prohibited, tolls apply on motorways, and popular coastal towns and islands get crowded in high season. The article also includes personal experience from two trips and practical information on entry, tolls, traffic rules, campsites, ferries and travelling with a dog.
