The 15 Best Days Out in Zagreb

148 tours  ·  from $8 a head

Croatia’s capital is an Austro-Hungarian city that most people skip on the way to the sea. These 15 make the case for two nights: the upper town, the food markets, and the day trip down to Plitvice and Rastoke.

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 1,897 reviews · 10 hours · from $57

Review of Zagreb’s Rastoke and Plitvice Lakes day tour, with park ticket, guide, transport, boat ride, walking tips, and honest value advice.

“Our guide was informative, friendly and communicated well. We had an excellent day seeing the park - it is so beautiful in autumn. The only thing was we felt a bit rushed and weren’t able to enjoy the scenery as much. We understand it was so can see as much as possible, it was just a bit of a bummer! Overall though we had a great time and would recommend this for anyone wanting to see the park but only has a day to do so!”

“This was an excellent tour for a very good price. Our guide was great - lots of great information and fun at the same time. Would have been better if more things had been open. Both the tunnels and the funicular were closed as were most of the museums. That is no one’s fault but it would have been good to know before the booking.”

Review of the Plitvice Lakes and Rastoke day trip from Zagreb, including transport, walking demands, seasonal limits, guides, price, and practical tips.

“Perfect day trip from Zagreb, easy pick up at meeting point, Meterorlogical Post for the small van tour. Very nice,clean, roomy & comfortable new van. Marko, our guide, safe driver, super knowledgeable, great sense of humor once you get to know him, patient, efficient & a little bit of a rebel!! He saved us so much time by going the opposite of all the other tour groups and we were able to enjoy the Park more without the crowds & long ques. This UNESCO site, in a Croatian National Park, is not able to be properly described with human language. The beauty is ethereal, absolutely sublime. Wear layers, be ready…”
