One of Europe’s most popular national parks and a Croatian gem long proclaimed by both domestic and international visitors as a “paradise on earth”, Plitvice Lakes National Park has these days put on its winter attire.

The gastronomy of Plitvice Lakes National Park is so distinctive that it attracts a growing number of food lov

If you would like to experience Advent in a slightly different way—without crowds, queues for fritters, or jostling for the perfect photo—set off for Srijem. The easternmost region of Croatia, just over two hours’ drive from Zagreb, lives the festive season in its own distinctive way.

Autumn in Zagorje – is there anything better for a wonderful weekend escape or a perfect family day trip?
