Tours & Trips through Central Croatia
Want to explore Croatia beyond just the famous coast? Central Croatia offers Zagreb's Austrian-influenced capital, Plitvice Lakes' waterfalls and boardwalks, with Samobor for cream cakes and hiking. You're visiting castles, wine regions, thermal spas. Central Croatia's less touristy than Dubrovnik and the islands, and that’s partly its appeal. The landscapes are beautiful, and it provides a different Croatia than the Mediterranean coast.

This tour was an excellent introduction to Croatia for us - with a good mix of the history of Croatia and its people, seeing beautiful gardens and the National Park. With local guides we learnt so much and walked around interesting areas. From the moment we were picked up by Mislov in Venice we got a good vibe and were reassured we'd made a good choice. This tour was very, very good. We highly recommend it to others.
