Fun facts about Croatia!

Croatia. Firstly, the capital city of Croatia is

Zagreb. Next, the population of Croatia is

4,397,000. I bet you didn't know that because

most people don't think of Croatia as the

first country that pops in their mind.  

Furthermore, the area of Croatia is 21,829sq

miles - the 127th smallest country in the world! It is small isn't it! 

Croatia is popular with tourists because it is beautiful, has lovely weather and has many historical places to visit. In fact, Croatia is home to the oldest city in Europe. It is called Vinkovic and people have lived there for the last 8,000 years. The beauty and medieval scenery of many places in Croatia is probably why the popular TV show, Game of Thrones, is filmed there.
