Kralj hrvatski Tomislav

Built in the socialist years, Kralj hrvatski Tomislav is one of the abstract monuments that dot the Croatian landscape.

Good to know

Kralj hrvatski Tomislav stands in Dalmatia, one of the six regions that make up the Croatia most visitors fall for. From the Adriatic shore to the karst mountains and the quiet inland valleys, this part of the country gives you something worth the detour.

Many are poorly signposted, so save the coordinates before you lose signal.

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.

Best time to visit

Kralj hrvatski Tomislav rewards a visit between May and October. The sweet spot is June or September, when the water is warm and the crowds thinner than in July and August. Come in winter and you find a quieter, cheaper country, at its most likeable inland.
