National Geographic Traveller (UK) April 2026 on newsstands now

26-PAGE DIGITAL SAMPLE: magazine.natgeotraveller.co.uk/apr26

The April issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK) invites readers to experience Croatia in a new light with 19 experiences spotlighting its unsung corners.

Croatia’s teal waters and fortified coastal towns need no introduction. If 2025’s record-breaking tourism statistics tell us anything, it's that the pull of its Adriatic coastline is stronger than ever — attracting the vast majority of last year’s 21.8 million visitors. But those shingled shores are only the beginning, with a huge array of experiences to be found throughout the Balkan nation’s lesser-known regions. The April cover story brings together the very best of them, from hiking among chamois on the rugged Premužić Trail to hopping between the Elafiti Islands, where Dubrovnik’s 17th- and 18th-century aristocrats once sought respite from the summer heat.

Readers will also find a free copy of National Geographic Traveller’s annual US guide included with the April issue, featuring some of America’s greatest journeys on the country’s 250th birthday.
