The weather is typically Mediterranean, with mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Snow is very rare, and the temperature rarely drops below 40 F/5 C. Heat can be a problem in high summer, but the mercury rarely exceeds 85 F/30 C (although the temperature can be magnified if you're strolling inside the city walls). Spring and autumn are the best months to explore the city unless you're there for a sun-and-sea vacation. It can rain at any time during winter, and you will often need to wrap up in warm layers or a lightweight winter jacket.

What to Wear
Hats and sunscreen are the most important accessories to wear in the summer months; a light sweater might be needed occasionally in the evenings, especially in spring and autumn. Swimming shoes make the pebble beaches more accessible. Comfortable footwear is recommended for the many steps, and the stone-paved streets. T-shirts and shorts are acceptable around town in the daytime, but showing too much flesh is considered disrespectful when visiting religious buildings. Don't wear swimsuits in town or to cafes. Women do dress fashionably, and businessmen wear suits and ties but can dress casually at times. Croatians are very easygoing, and even very stylish restaurants are happy with casual wear.
