Itinerary Details

Day 1 – 2

International Arrival

You will be transferred from Zagreb airport to your hotel in a private vehicle

1 Night

Zagreb

Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, has to be experienced at leisure. The city’s rich culture, music and food festivals throughout the year, beautiful parks and plazas, pop-up markets and thousands of cafés at almost each step, invite travelers to delve deeper. At first sight, Zagreb impresses guests with its dignified Austro-Hungarian architecture. The twin spires of the Gothic Zagreb Cathedral and the medieval St. Mark’s Church with its tiled roof dominate the skyline near the central town square. The rest of the Upper Town is dotted with church spires and paved with cobblestones, waiting for you to enjoy long and leisurely walks through town. Its historical heritage aside, the city’s young and vibrant spirit is evident in the street walls covered with murals by local artists, and in its lively café culture. Sit enjoying an espresso at an outdoor coffee shop near the town square, admiring the architecture and watching people. Zagreb’s annual Christmas Markets with its live bands, traditional gift shops and mulled wine stalls are worth the experience.

Included activities

Wander through Zagreb’s cobblestone streets while you explore its lovely architecture, cafes and museums!

Walk through the charming hidden courtyards of the old town while you listen to ancient stories about the Golden Bull and the struggle of Gradec and the Capitol. Visit Dolac Market and watch people bustling to buy fresh fruits, vegetables and flowers. Pick up a bottle of locally produced honey or a quaint handmade craft for your loved one back home. Take a peaceful ride on the funicular and stroll through the Lenuzzi Green Horseshoe on foot to admire its artistic parks and buildings.

Zadar is a lively port city on the Dalmatian coast of the Adriatic Sea. This oldest, continuously-inhabited city of Croatia boasts of a rich heritage of ancient, Roman and medieval architecture. An old city wall guards the Old Town, which is home to several Roman and Venetian ruins, old churches and medieval convents. The Church of St. Donatus, the grand Cathedral of St. Anastasia with its imposing bell tower, and the genteel St. Mary’s Convent with its treasure of religious art are definitely worth a visit. The quirkiest attractions of Zadar, however, are its modern architectural wonders of the Sea Organ and the Sun Salutation. While the former is an architectural instrument, the other is a seaside monument that lights up at night. For many travelers, Zadar also acts as a junction town that connects the mainland to the surrounding islands off the Dalmatian coast by ferry boats.

Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik has to be one of the best preserved historical towns standing by the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea. The Old Town of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is nothing short of a time capsule, taking you back centuries to its heyday as a great mercantile port. Standing at the foothills of Mount Srdj, beside the Dalmatian coast, the town’s natural landscape is just as impressive as its heritage architecture. Parts of the old sea fort rise right from the town’s waterfront precinct, complete with a massive tower, fortified walls, beautiful palaces and churches. Must visit monuments include the St. Blaise Church with its grand Baroque architecture, the Sponza Palace from the Renaissance period, and the Rector’s Palace, which is a museum today. A cable car ride up to Mount Srdj is worth the panoramic view of the city spread out beneath. Settle down at the pedestrian only town square lined with eateries, enjoying black risotto and the local rožata pudding.
