Enjoy some local music on an Adriatic cruise

Music fans looking forward to Adriatic cruises this year might have the opportunity to visit Split as it hosts an event celebrating local culture and song.

The Croatian National Theatre will provide the venue for a series of performances on the evening of October 3rd.

Holidaymakers enjoying Adriatic cruise holidays will be able to attend concerts that have been arranged to commemorate the sixth anniversary of the death of Zdenko Runjic.

Based in Split, Runjic established himself as one of the most popular and prolific songwriters in the former Yugoslavia, now Croatia.

Artists due to perform at the Croatian National Theatre include Nina Badrid, Marko Tolja, Kristijan Behuljan and Tamara Obrovac.

People who would like to learn more about the country's culture and history during a Croatia holiday can pay a visit to attractions in Split such as the Mestrovic Gallery, the Ethnographic Museum, the City Museum and the Maritime Museum.
