I plan to head to Croatia for 2 weeks starting on April 1st. I will be spending the bulk of the time (8 days total)in the Split and Dubrovnik areas doing day trips from each of the locations and then heading up to Plitvice for two days and flying out of Zagbreb after spending two days there. Wondering if April is an absolutely bad time to go to southern Croatia because of weather, venues/restaurants closed, etc? It is at the top of my list, but I still could change my destination if it is a terrible time to go there and possibly go to Portugal or Scotland.
Thoughts and ideas are greatly appreciated. I haven't been to Europe in 8 years (taken this long to save up) so I really want to make the most of my trip.
