Like all Slavic languages, Croatian is known for its rich morphology and a pronunciation which is extremely difficult for non-Slavic foreigners. In order to help you with the latter, we have prepared a list of the largest Croatian cities and most important tourist destinations, followed by the approximate English pronunciation of their names. The syllable preceded by the apostrophe is the stressed one. Hope this will come in handy! 🙂

Dubrovnik is a magnificent city with rich history and culture, world-known as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and, more recently, as a place where HBO’s Game of Thrones was filmed. Although it is worth visiting in any part of the year, the Dubrovnik Festa 2017, taking place from 01/26 to 2/2, is one of the best times for that. The whole week of various concerts, exhibitions, and theater plays serves as an introduction to St. Blaise Day (2/3), the Day of the City of Dubrovnik and of its patron saint, when the City is especially vibrant and colorful. The diverse program full of cultural and gastronomic events continues in the following week, until 2/9, to celebrate Dubrovnik’s most important day.
