BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN ZAGREB AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Here are the best photography spots in Zagreb to add to your 12 days in Croatia itinerary, along with the best photography tips to capture them!
Place Ban Jelačić
I highly recommend you visit Ban Jelačić Square first thing in the morning. Believe me, it’s the best way to avoid the crowds, especially if you are planning on taking photographs. Walk around the square to find the best angles and explore different perspectives.
My photography tips?
Use an aperture of f/8 to f/11 and a wide-angle lens to capture the whole square. Try playing with leading lines to guide the viewer’s eye to your main subject. And remember, there is no right or wrong in photography, so just play around with your settings and find your own style!
Dolac Market
You might wonder why visiting the Dolac Market is a must to add to your 12 days in Croatia itinerary… Well, not only is it the most famous market in Zagreb, but think about it as a photographer! Loads of colors, people, and dynamism… Whether you want to try some macro photography on the products or portrait photography of people there, it is the perfect place!
If you want to try portrait photography, go there around noon – at the busiest time!
My photography tips?
For product photography, use either a macro lens or the macro mode of your camera if you don’t have a special lens for it. But when it comes to portrait photography, the best is to use a 35mm or 50mm lens. This way, the subject won’t be distorted and will look exactly as they do in reality!
Gornji Grad (Upper Town)
St. Mark’s Church, the Stone Gate, the Strossmayer Promenade, the Cathedral of Zagreb, as well as the Parliament and Government Buildings… There are tons of monuments to see in this part of Zagreb! That’s why you should add it to your Croatia itinerary.
It’s the perfect place for you to improve your photography skills, especially in architecture and street photography. Plus, you might encounter some street art murals during your stroll that will help you develop your creativity!
My photography tips?
o avoid harsh light that could create harsh shadows in your photographs, try to visit later in the afternoon. And to focus on the building or architectural wonder you are photographing, use an aperture of f/4. It will help isolate the main subject from the busy city background!
Zagreb 360° Observation Deck
The very best spot to visit just before sunset! Not only will you get the best panoramic view of the city up there, but by visiting during the golden and blue hours, you will achieve a dreamy look in your photos! There are a few things you can do to make your photographs even better though… Keep reading!
My photography tips?
Try playing around with long exposures — from 10 to 30 seconds — to capture the movements of the clouds and city lights. If done well, you will be surprised by the results, adding something unique to your photograph!
To make sure your camera is steady during long exposures and your photo is as neat as possible, bring a tripod with you! I promise, it is a game changer! No matter how steady you think you can be for 10 to 30 seconds, it will never be as steady as a tripod!
Tkalčićeva Street
Some would argue that it is the busiest street in Zagreb, and that’s why I personally love it and urge you to add it to your Croatia itinerary! Cafés, restaurants, bars… Whether you want to grab a bite or have a drink, it is the best place to go! And if you want to get into portrait photography, you could take very cool candid pics right there!
My photography tips?
As previously mentioned, when it comes to portrait photography, you should shoot with a 35mm or 50mm lens to keep the result as close to reality as possible. Also, play with the lights and different apertures to isolate your subject or not. Remember, photography is an art, and there are no fixed rules when it comes to art… Just have fun and enjoy your time in Zagreb!

DAYS 3 & 4 of your 12 DAYS IN CROATIA: Plitvice Lakes
If you’re planning a trip to Croatia, you’ve likely heard or read about Plitvice Lakes… and let me tell you, it’s even more beautiful than you can imagine! Crystal blue waters, lush vegetation, waterfalls, lakes, cliffs—it has it all!
The beauty of this place has made it quite popular, so be aware that it can get crowded, especially during the summer peak season. But believe me, visiting is more than worth it, and you can’t spend 12 days in Croatia without visiting Plitvice Lakes. You’d hardly regret it!
Keep reading for tips and tricks on visiting this incredible place and capturing the best photographs while you’re there!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN Plitvice lakes AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
To be honest with you, the entire national park is worth photographing… And that’s why it deserves a spot in your Croatia itinerary. But here are a few tips to make your experience—and your photographs—the best of all!
FULL DAY AT PLITVICE LAKES
The number one tip I can give you when visiting Plitvice Lakes is to get there early, around 7 am would be great. People will start arriving, but it won’t be too crowded yet!
Start with the lower lakes in the morning and head to the upper lakes in the afternoon to avoid the masses and enjoy the place in peace and quiet-ish.
Be prepared for a long day! If you’re visiting during summer, bring enough water, snacks, and sun protective items—it’s going to be hot!
My photography tips?
To enhance color saturation and reduce reflections on the water, bring a polarizing filter with you. Believe me, it’s a game changer, and you’ll be amazed at how much it improves your photos! If you’ve never used one, you can find a relatively low-cost option on Amazon. If you enjoy it, you can always upgrade your gear later in your photography journey!
SUNRISE AT PLITVICE LAKES
If you want to capture the sunrise at Plitvice Lakes, you’ll need to get up early—especially during summer, around 5 am to ensure you catch the blue hour before the golden hour begins as the sun rises.
Chances are, the place will be empty, so that’s a win for you and will allow you to start your day in peace and quiet!
My photography tips?
To create starbursts during sunrise, use an aperture of f/16. If it doesn’t work as you’d like, adjust your settings to find the perfect result. Remember, the sunrise and golden hour don’t last very long, so it’s best to experiment with settings beforehand! Also, try to use the lowest ISO possible (ISO 100 is ideal) to reduce noise in your photos!
AFTERNOON AT PLITVICE LAKES
An afternoon at Plitvice Lakes is the best time to photograph waterfalls and reflections. Waiting until later in the afternoon ensures that the light isn’t too harsh and perfect reflections appear!
However, there are a few things you need to know to capture perfect photographs at this time of day, especially in a place as beautiful as Plitvice Lakes.
My photography tips?
Firstly, if you want to take long exposure photos of waterfalls during the daytime—the best way to capture water movement—you’ll need two things: an ND filter and a tripod. As mentioned earlier, for the best results with long exposures, you need to keep your camera as steady as possible. Trust me, you’ll never be steady enough—I’ve tried!
When it comes to composition in photography, there are a few tweaks you can make to significantly enhance your photos and add depth.
First, consider adding framing elements such as rocks, trees, or other elements. Framing adds depth and guides the viewer’s eye to your main subject. This leads to using natural guiding lines—utilize them to subtly direct the viewer’s gaze towards the principal subject of your photographs without them even realizing the trick!
Composition is everything in photography—it’s about organizing the different elements within your photo. After all, as the saying goes, “we don’t take a photograph, we make it!”.

DAYS 5 & 6 OF YOUR CROATIA ITINERARY: Split
For the three months I was living and traveling around Croatia, Split was my home base. So, let me tell you, this city has a special place in my heart—and for good reason! A perfect mix of history, tradition, and modern life, there is nothing you can’t do in Split. And if you’re into photography, there are countless spots worth your attention!
Diocletian’s Palace, Riva Promenade, Marjan Hill, Bacvice Beach, and Green Market are among the most popular… But believe me, there is much more to discover—and photograph—in Split, giving you plenty of reasons to add the city to your 12 days in Croatia itinerary!
Now it’s time for the best photography spots and tips to capture the best of Split.
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN Plitvice lakes AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
You need to be warned… In just 2 days in Split, you might fill an SD memory card. Honestly, you could spend two days exploring the old town alone and still discover narrow streets and buildings worth photographing. So get ready to take notes and add these places to your Croatia itinerary!
Diocletian’s Palace
Diocletian’s Palace is the number one attraction in Split, so get ready for crowds of tourists. If you can, I highly suggest visiting during the shoulder seasons—spring and autumn—as the weather will be nicer and there will be fewer tourists. But if you can’t and are traveling to Croatia during summer, just get up early! Not only will you get the best light for your photographs—aka the golden hour—but you will also avoid the crowds.
There are a few main monuments to see —and take photos of—in Diocletian’s Palace, such as the Cathedral of St. Domnius and Peristyle Square… But to make sure you get the complete experience, just walk around its narrow streets and keep your eyes open! You’re going to love everything you see, I promise!
My photography tips?
A wide-angle lens is much better for capturing the impressive architecture of the Palace, but if you love photographing details, a macro lens—or the macro mode on your camera—could be particularly handy.
When it comes to adjusting your ISO, the lowest setting is always best in terms of noise reduction, but you can easily increase it to ISO 400 to help deal with shadows.
Once again: experiment, experiment, experiment! To find your own unique photography style, there is no better way than experimenting and playing with your camera settings. As we say, you always learn better from your mistakes!
Split Riva and Marjan Hill
After a well-deserved lunch, explore the Split Riva, then head to Marjan Hill for sunset. Not only will you get the best panoramic view of Split from the top of Marjan Hill, but the walking path to get there is absolutely lovely! Bonus point for photography lovers: there are tons of cute spots to take photos of! Just open your eyes and get creative!
My photography tips?
To photograph Split Riva or the walking path to the top of Marjan Hill, a wider aperture—around f/5.6—would be better. However, when you get to the top of Marjan Hill, a smaller aperture, such as f/11, will be better as it will provide you with a deeper depth of field.
If you own different lenses, try using a telephoto lens from the summit of Marjan Hill to take photos of the unique roofs of Diocletian’s Palace or the boats in the port! You never know how the result is going to turn out… And if you have a telescopic lens: zoom, zoom, zoom!
Green Market
Whether you haven’t had time to explore the Dolac Market in Zagreb and really want to try macro product photography or photographing portraits of locals, or you just love the general atmosphere of farmers markets—I know I do—you should add the Green Market of Split to your 12 days in Croatia to-do list.
Not only are markets the best place to interact with locals, but they are also lively places where your photographic creativity can be triggered and developed in ways you hadn’t thought of before! Let yourself be carried by the flow.
My photography tips?
They are not much different from the ones I previously gave you for photographing the Dolac Market in Zagreb. For product photography, use a macro lens or the macro mode on your camera for the best results. And when it comes to portrait photography, try using a 35mm or 50mm lens to capture the perfect portrait!
Bacvice Beach
Whether you want to relax on Bacvice Beach or another surrounding beach in Split, you will have a lovely time. Even though Split is generally crowded—and its beaches too—I found them quite relaxing. I couldn’t explain the feeling, but you will get it during your 12 days in Croatia.
Photographing beaches and the sea can be quite tricky. After all, it is just water, and they often look quite similar to each other. That’s when your creativity will distinguish you from other photographers.
To get unique photos of the sea or the beach, find unique perspectives or get creative with the composition of your photography. It is challenging, but believe me, when you find a great idea, it is so rewarding!
My photography tips?
As previously mentioned, you have to think of your photography composition to make it interesting and more appealing than a simple photo of water. Whether you fill up the frame with textures of the beach or the water, find a nice leading line to drive your viewer’s eye to the main subject, or even a nice way to frame it, it is totally up to you! But you have to get creative to take the best photo and become a better photographer!
And it goes without saying… If you can wait for sunset, the golden hour alone will make your photos look magical and much more interesting!

DAY 7 OF YOUR 12 DAYS IN CROATIA: Šibenik
If you’ve read my other posts about Croatia and the best itineraries, you already know why Šibenik, eventhough it’s smaller in size than other cities, deserves to be visited during your 12 days in Croatia.
For those who haven’t, let me sum it up quickly! As Šibenik is smaller and less touristy than other Croatian cities, it offers a more authentic experience of Croatian life. With its rich history, cultural heritage, and stunning coastline, I can’t see one reason not to add Šibenik to your Croatia itinerary.
And especially if you enjoy architectural photography—Šibenik’s Old Town is sure to steal your heart!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN Šibenik AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Šibenik, being smaller than other Croatian cities, allows you to make the most of it in just one day. To help you capture the best photos of this place, let me share with you the best one-day itinerary for Šibenik!
ST JAMES Cathedral
No wonder why St. James Cathedral is a UNESCO World Heritage site… This alone should convince you to visit it during your 12 days in Croatia!
If you’re into architecture, you’ll truly appreciate this unique blend of Gothic and Renaissance styles. Personally, I don’t know much about architecture, but let me tell you, this cathedral is mind-blowing! And if you love photography, it’s a fantastic subject to let your creativity flow.
My photography tips?
If you want to capture the cathedral in its entirety, you’ll need a wide-angle lens. But if you want to focus on capturing the details of this monument, a macro lens—or the macro mode of your camera—will be perfect! The details of its sculptures are amazing, and I truly believe they deserve a close-up.
When it comes to aperture, an f/8 aperture should do the trick to maintain enough depth without losing any details.
Old town and river fronT
My best advice for visiting the Old Town of Šibenik is to simply wander around its cobblestone pavements and narrow streets. That’s how you’ll discover unique photography spots, and I believe it’s the best way to express yourself through photography.
The riverfront is also a lovely place for a stroll and a great spot to experiment with new photography techniques and have fun with your camera settings.
My photography tips?
An aperture of f/4 is perfect for capturing isolated subjects in the narrow streets. But, if you want to capture the entire buildings or panoramic views of the waterfront, you’ll need a wide-angle lens!
Don’t forget to apply the principles of photography composition to make your photos unique and enhance your photography skills!
ST MICHAEL’S Fortress
To get the best out of St. Michael’s Fortress, I highly suggest you arrive right before sunset! Not only is the view beautiful, but arriving at sunset allows you to capture the golden and blue hours. If you love photography, you already know these times of day offer the best light and create a completely different mood in your photographs!
My photography tips?
In addition to arriving for sunrise to capture the best lighting for your photos, I have a few more tips for you. If you own a tripod, bring it along! Long exposure photos can be stunning at sunrise and sunset. If you want to experiment further and elevate your photos, have fun with ND filters and try using an aperture of f/16 to capture starbursts in your shots!

DAY 8 IN CROATIA: Zadar
There are so many things to do and see in Zadar that one day won’t be enough to experience them all. But if you only have only 12 days in Croatia, you have to make choices! Here’s what I would prioritize visiting in Zadar if I had only one day there and wanted to capture the very best of the city through my lens!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN ZADAR AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
Between the Roman Forum, the St. Donat Church, the Sea Organ, the Greeting to the Sun, and the waterfront, believe me, by the end of the day, you will probably have hundreds of photos on your SD card. And you will be more than happy to look back at them when you’re back home after your 12 days in Croatia! So keep reading and take notes to get the best photos of Zadar.
Roman Forum and St. Donat Church
Being one of the most popular tourist attractions in Zadar, the Roman Forum and St. Donat Church usually get crowded really fast. So, as you guessed, get up early and go there before everyone else. Not only will your experience be much more peaceful, but you will also be able to take better photos as you will have the liberty to try different angles and apply different photography techniques you’ve learned along the way.
My photography tips?
A wide-angle lens is necessary to capture the entirety of the forum and the church. And as with every architectural masterpiece, you can shoot the details thanks to the macro mode of your camera!
Also… As I mentioned earlier, try different angles and perspectives to get the most unique photos, and if you have trouble dealing with shadows, try setting your ISO to 200—it usually helps to change things up.
the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun
These two artworks are what have made Zadar famous and so attractive to tourists. Honestly, they are quite impressive, and even though it might be challenging to capture them in a unique and creative photo, they are still worth a visit.
But if you are determined to take unique photographs of these artworks to look back on after your 12 days in Croatia, keep reading!
My photography tips?
If you want to reduce reflections on the water, consider bringing along a polarizing filter. They are the most effective way to achieve that!
When photographing the Greeting of the Sun, you’ll need a deep depth of field to capture it all. How can you achieve this? An aperture of f/11 should do the trick! And don’t forget about using leading lines to guide your viewers’ eyes to your main subject!
ZADAR’S SEAFRONT
You might have guessed it—now it’s time to photograph the sunset at Zadar’s Seafront! Shooting during the golden and blue hours is definitely my favorite time of day to take pictures and achieve a dreamy look, almost effortlessly!
My photography tips?
If you’ve read the previous information carefully, you already know: use a tripod for long exposures to capture the movement of the sea, set your aperture to f/16 for starburst effects, and keep your ISO at 100 for the cleanest results in your photos!
That’s pretty much it! By now you must be a pro, and ready to apply all my photography tips for sunset during your 12 days in Croatia!

DAY 9 OF YOUR CROATIA ITINERARY: KRKA NATIONAL PARK
No Croatia itinerary can be complete without a visit to the stunning Krka National Park. But you probably already know that. Believe me, this place is famous for good reasons! When I first arrived, it felt like stepping into a fairytale forest. It was worth every penny spent on the ticket!
However, as you might imagine, this popular destination gets crowded quickly. So, get up early and try to arrive as soon as possible to capture the best pictures!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN Krka National Park AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
There are three main spots for photography in Krka National Park, but if you keep your eyes open while exploring the park, you’ll discover countless other details worth photographing. Let me tell you the top three spots, and for the rest, open your eyes and unleash your creativity!
Skradinski Buk WaterfallS
You can’t possibly miss them. They will be—literally—right in front of you when you get there. And believe me, they are going to amaze you. To have the best experience—and get the best photos—try to get there as early as you can to avoid the crowds. Chances are there will still be people there, but it gets much more crowded in the afternoon, believe me!
My photography tips?
You will need an ND filter to shoot long exposure photos during the daytime. You can get relatively cheap ones from Amazon if you are just starting with photography and don’t want to spend a ton of money on photography gear. A tripod would be nice too, as you have to be steady to shoot long exposures and still get a neat result.
Play with your settings to achieve the look you want, and most of all: Have fun!
Fauna and walking trail
Once you are done photographing the main waterfalls, start walking the trail! Not only will you get other perspectives of the waterfalls, but the path is also really pretty and worth seeing.
Open your eyes to see the various fauna and flora, and enjoy this time in nature. You are going to love it, and believe me, you will take as many photos of the trail as you will of the waterfalls!
My photography tips?
If you want to capture the fauna from afar, a telephoto lens would be more than handy. But if you don’t own one and don’t want—or can’t—buy one, zooming could do the trick! To deal with the shadows, try setting your ISO up to 400; it usually helps. And if you want to isolate your subject from the background, an aperture of f/5.6 should be perfect!
Krka National Park view points
Once you are done visiting the park, head to the viewpoints to watch the sunset. If the sky is clear, you will get amazing colors and contrasts with the lush vegetation present there. And who doesn’t like a pretty sunset moment, right?
By now, you should know all my tips for photographing sunsets, but I’ll repeat them one more time to make sure you didn’t miss a thing.
My photography tips?
During your 12 days in Croatia, you are probably going to shoot at least 7 sunsets—if not all 12 of them—so take notes about how to get the best results for your photos…
Use a tripod for long exposures to capture the movement of the clouds or the waterfalls, set your aperture to f/16 for starburst effects, and keep your ISO at 100 for the cleanest results in your photos! If needed, use your ND filter to adjust lighting!

Last days of your 12 days in Croatia: Dubrovnik and the Surroundings
I know Dubrovnik is on the opposite side of the country, but believe me, the city and its surroundings—and the photos you will be able to take—are worth the journey. I highly suggest you head to Dubrovnik for the last few days of your 12 days in Croatia!
Be aware, though, that it’s a really popular destination among tourists, and it will probably be crowded. I also think it’s slightly more expensive than other cities in Croatia, so take that into account when planning your budget!
BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SPOTS IN Dubrovnik AND PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS
If you’ve already seen photos of Dubrovnik, you know you are going to have a blast there when it comes to photography. The architecture and nature are stunning, so empty your SD card and get ready to shoot all day long!
Old Town Walls
One of the most famous tourist attractions in Dubrovnik is walking the Old Town walls and getting one of the very best panoramic views of the city and the Adriatic Sea.
Be aware though that if you are visiting during summer, there is no shade up there. So bring sun protection items and a lot of water to ensure you can enjoy your experience!
My photography tips?
If you can visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon, you will avoid harsh sunlight that can be hard to manage when taking photos. To capture the large picture of the scenery, a wide-angle lens is your best ally, but if you want to capture details of the city, using a telephoto lens will give you the best results. If you don’t own one, try to zoom in to get as close as possible to the details you want to shoot!
Fort Lovrijenac
Fort Lovrijenac is also a popular place to visit when exploring Dubrovnik during your 12 days in Croatia. The best part about the fort is that you can see it from many different places in the city, giving you a variety of perspectives to shoot from!
My photography tips?
To make your photos of the fort even better, try applying some composition techniques to get a more complex and original shot. Whether you’re filling the frame with details, using guiding lines, or framing the subject with other elements, be creative! You will learn much more by trying new things than by staying in your comfort zone!
Stradun (Main Street)
You might have guessed it, Stradun, the main street of Dubrovnik, will be crowded if you don’t visit early in the morning or later at night. And especially if you want to take photos of it, the fewer people, the better for you!
My photography tips?
When taking street photography, you have to get creative, or your photo will look kind of boring… But don’t worry there are a few ways to achieve a much more interesting result!
Include people—without invading their privacy—to make the street more lively, try different angles to get a stronger impact of the main subject, get creative in terms of photo composition and try to tell a story!
When it comes to camera settings, try to keep your ISO as low as possible to get the cleanest result and use a fast shutter speed to avoid any blur.
Mount Srđ
If you are looking for a panoramic view over the city and the Adriatic Sea, this spot is even better than the city walls!
You have two options for reaching the top of Mount Srd: taking the cable car—it is quite expensive, though—or hiking up. Personally, I hiked up when I visited Dubrovnik —because I love hiking— and it wasn’t too difficult. Keep in mind that the path mostly goes up and there is little to no shade.
Regardless of which option you choose, you will be amazed by the views and the photos you can capture from up there!
My photography tips?
The tips I would give you for taking photos from up there are mostly the same as the ones I just mentioned for shooting from the city walls. Let me remind them to you!
Try to avoid harsh sunlight, which can be challenging to manage in photos. If possible, use an ND filter—it can be a great tool for this.
For capturing the expansive scenery, a wide-angle lens is your best ally. If you want to zoom in and capture details of the views, a telephoto lens will give you the best results. If you don’t have one, try using your camera’s zoom to get as close as possible to the details you want to shoot.
And as always, get creative with your compositions to capture the most interesting photos!
Gundulić Square Market
If you’ve read this entire itinerary, you might have noticed that I love markets. And I’m pretty sure I’m not the only one… I truly believe that markets are the essence of a city and the best way to interact with locals.
Believe me, you are going to love the atmosphere and local produce of this one! And I’m not even talking about the great photos you can take while you’re there!
My photography tips?
There are two main kinds of photography you can try when visiting a market: macro photography of the products and portraits. For product photography, use a macro lens or the macro mode on your camera for the best results. But when it comes to portrait photography, try using a 35mm or 50mm lens to capture the perfect portrait!
Banje Beach
Whether you want a quiet day lounging on the beach to end your 12 days in Croatia or just wish to stroll along and admire the crystal-clear waters, Banje Beach is a fantastic spot! And the best part? You can capture photos of the beach with the city in the background.
My photography tips?
As always, sunrise or sunset will provide the best lighting—aka the golden and blue hours—which will naturally give the dreamy look to your photos even before editing. If you can’t visit during these times, don’t worry. You can still achieve amazing photos by using an ND filter or adjusting your camera settings.
