# Hrvatska Kostajnica

A town on the Una river at the Bosnian border, watched over by a medieval fortress. It suffered heavy destruction and depopulation during the 1990s war.

Hrvatska Kostajnica sits in Central Croatia, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the city & town is the reason most people stop.

Mornings are quieter and cooler. Most old towns wake up slowly, so an early coffee is worth the effort.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** look up the current price and opening hours before you go. Both change through the year, and a few spots close completely out of season.
- **How to get there:** Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

## When to go

The best window for Hrvatska Kostajnica runs **May to October**. June and September balance warmth and thinner crowds; July and August are busy and hot. Out of season, winter shows a calmer, cheaper Croatia that rewards the inland cities.
