About this activity

Explore North Croatia's architectural treasures on a 9-hour private day trip from Zagreb, featuring the elegantly preserved Baroque town of Varazdin (once Croatia's capital) and the romantically situated Trakoscan Castle. This curated journey reveals a quieter, inland side of Croatia beyond the Adriatic coast.

Get to know North Croatia on this private tour from Zagreb. We will visit Varazdin, former capital town of Croatia, a true baroque gem today and  Trakoscan, the most romantic castle in Croatia. Lunch at local restaurant in Varazdin is included as well as coffee or tea and cake. Book this private tour and visit different Croatia.
