There is nothing fun about breakups and they are the last thing you want to think about while on holidays. However, there is something bleakly fascinating about the breakups of others and we can't help but be a bit nosy but there is also a sense of camaraderie and a bond that grows from sharing our heartbreaks with each other. Heartbreak, loss and nostalgia are very human things that we all feel and understand. As such, the Museum of Broken Relationships really is a fascinating place and a must-see for anyone who has found a vacation rental in Zagreb.

Permanently located in the beautiful baroque Kulmer palace in the Upper Town, a historic part of the city that you most likely would end up in anyway, as it is full of tourist attractions. However, among all of these attractions, the Museum of Broken Relationships is, undoubtedly, Zagreb's quirkiest museum.

The stunning Croatian island of Hvar is famously beautiful. Consistently one of the top ten islands in the world according to Conde Nast, it is a rather unique place that is unusual for the area for having a large fertile coastal plain and fresh water springs. Its hillsides are covered in pine forests, with vineyards, olive groves, fruit orchards and lavender fields and it boasts both mild winters, and warm summers with long sunny days. The coasts of the island are dotted with perfect sandy beaches and pretty marinas full of boats and yachts and lovely little towns and settlements dot the countryside.

However, there is one feature, above all others, that helped propel this pretty island into the spotlight; its iconic lavender fields. In fact, the incredible images of endless fields of lavender tossed by playful breezes are what first caught the attention of the world and made many add the island to their bucket lists. While the island no longer looks quite like those famous pictures, it is still a stunning place and a must for anyone who has found a vacation rental in Split-Dalmatien.
