Zagreb: Plitvice & Rastoke Guided Trip with Ticket (ENG/ESP)
Overview
Escape into the heart of Croatia’s natural beauty with our semi-private day trip to Plitvice Lakes National Park from Zagreb. This UNESCO-protected wonder spans 295 square kilometers of pristine forest, featuring 16 terraced lakes connected by stunning waterfalls and set in a dramatic limestone canyon. Stroll scenic wooden walkways and forest trails, take a relaxing ferry across Lake Kozjak, and witness the majestic Veliki Slap, Croatia’s highest waterfall.
