The Most Beautiful Advent competition was launched five years ago precisely to showcase beautiful Advents from all over Croatia in one place and to enable cities and municipalities and their tourist boards to present their Advents beyond their local context. On the other hand, they give citizens the opportunity to see the results of the great effort, investment and creativity that went into preparing Advents throughout our beautiful country, and to get to know some new Advent destinations that they have never even heard of before, and now they may decide to visit them.
