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.
