Plitvice Lakes National Park

National park
Nature & Parks
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a stunning destination in the heart of Croatia, known for its picturesque lakes, alpine forests, waterfalls, and caves. It's an ideal place for romantic getaways or family adventures. Couples can enjoy enchanting lookouts, romantic walks along the trails with the soothing sounds of waterfalls, and a stay at Jezero Hotel followed by a romantic dinner at Licka Kuca restaurant.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of pure, awe-inspiring beauty. The 16 lakes, connected by countless waterfalls and cascades in stunning turquoise-blue hues, are a true paradise. Walking on the wooden boardwalks allows you to get close to the water, feel the mist of the falls and see almost to the bottom of the lakes. It's an absolute must-do for any nature lover. Important points on the trails and walking conditions: The park offers a variety of routes (like C, H, F, E etc.) that combine walking, a boat ride on Lake Kozjak, and use of a shuttle. Most of the walking paths and boardwalks are very narrow, slippery, and sometimes uneven, and the park gets extremely crowded, therefore in my opinion the trails are not suitable for baby strollers or wheelchairs, also - access is difficult for people with walking difficulties or seniors who require stability. Recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip. Tickets: Recommended to book tickets online in advance for a specific time slot and entrance (1 or 2), as the daily visitor capacity is limited and tickets sell out quickly. It's best to arrive as early as possible (right at opening time) to avoid the biggest crowds. Paid parking is available at both entrances (make sure to park at the entrance for which you bought your ticket). Along the paths, there are several rest points with WCs and some places to buy food, but it's a bit pricey, so you can bring some water, sandwiches, or snacks. In summary, this is an amazing natural wonder that is worth every effort.

Wow! Fantastic experience! You could easily spend the whole day at the park. There are number of trails leading around the lakes and under the waterfalls. Every part of it looks do beautiful. The water is extremely clean and the colours vary from light blue to turquoise green. It’s a must go destination in Croatia
Alice K — Google review
Absolutely stunning nature, I felt like I was wandering through the loveliest dream. Aside from the obvious, the forest itself is incredibly beautiful, soft, nurturing, with ivy covered trees, moss adorned rocks, and colorful leaves blanketing the forest floor. I highly recommend coming in mid to late October for the fall foliage, it imbues a mystical quality to this already enchanted place.
Chantal L — Google review
Very beautiful park and easy to access. We was lucky to get 2 versions of the scenery. We came late on day 1 (17 Nov), so we decided to revisit in the next day. There was significant snow and the scenery had changed. Although we couldn't go to your lakes due to the weather, the scenery in lower lakes was fantastic.
Gahwin R — Google review
Such a beautiful serene environment, walking on the trails did get a bit busy at times but once you're in its amazing to see little pockets of natural beauty, clear waters, different varieties of fish, plants and many jaw dropping waterfalls, too many to count. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Croatia.
A W — Google review
This park is really fantastic. We were here for two days. Walked about 30 km. Some areas quite busy (great waterfall). If possible i recommend an early start to avoid the tourists coming in by busloads. The lakes are great and everything is remarkably clean. We had a great time, highlight of our trip to Croatia.
M.pepers — Google review
It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.
Mat B — Google review
Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

Dirty streets, dirty everything. No flowers anywhere. Dirty old menu cards in bars. Rijeka could be a great town if it wasn't so dirty. I hoped to see positive influence and style of Italy in Rijeka, but found mostly just Balcan there.
IKS — Google review
Although it has a large selection of shops, there are a large number of empty spaces. It makes their opacity even more difficult, so looking for some trades or shops is a real adventure. It should be marked on each floor where exactly what is located. Luckily most saleswomen are extremely kind so in the end you find what you are looking for. For a shopping center of such size and attendance, it would be necessary to renovate the toilets I don’t remember the name of the store, I bought a Liu-Jo bag and a pair of gloves, the saleswoman had a constant smile and a whole host of my requests didn’t hinder her in kindness and true professionalism.

I didn't like the vibe of the place. It seems as if the whole building is old so the shops look old fashioned and outdated however the contents of the shoos are up to date and modern in my opinion. And the caffe on the top is absolute recommendation.
Tomislav H — Google review
This used to be a great mall 20 years ago. Now it's a mall with a very limited offer. It needs a major upgrade and Reno as it's in a prime location but had nothing interesting inside. It also has an awesome coffee shop on top of it with amazing city views, but the way to get there is just super confusing as you have to walk through random stores and get lost on the way. This place has so much potential.

Trsat Castle, located on a steep hill next to the Rjecina Gorge, has been a strategic lookout point since ancient times. The castle has a rich history dating back to the Ilyrians and has changed hands between various empires. To reach the castle, visitors can climb a grand staircase offering spectacular views.
Super stunning castle at the very top of Rijeka. Amazing views of the entire town. Lovely grounds which you can walk around and go inside to a small museum style room in the basement. Free toilets on site. Free entry which is great as it is often paid in similar places. Really nice cafe and bar on the grounds so you can have a cocktail while taking in the view. We sheltered from the rain in the cafe where you can enjoy your drink in one of the turrets, sitting right at the top for a great view. Well worth the 600 stairs to the top! Can’t recommend enough!!!
Skye T — Google review
Beautiful view of the entire city! The castle is well preserved, and there’s a small café inside. The entrance fee is €3. As you go up, there’s a place to park under the trees, and you can also visit the church nearby. If you’re in the city or the surrounding area, it’s definitely worth a visit. You won’t need more than 20–30 minutes.
Konstantinos G — Google review
Small castle but looks amazing with the beautiful Croatian flag.There is a magnificent view from here. There is a small cafe here for a snack and a drink . A very steep staircase with many steps leads to the castle. But it is difficult for the elderly and children. It's better to take bus 2 or 8
Helen C — Google review
This is a great spot to walk to from the heart of Rijeka. You can either take the stairs (there are at least two sets to choose from) or the side roads. The castle is free to visit, has some interesting architectural features and views given its elevation above the city. I was here on a fall feast day, and there were several tour groups at the castle. I would imagine that it would get crowded during the height of the tourist season.
Maria G — Google review
Entering was free. We spent 1.5 hours wondering around, bigger place than we thougth, it was beautiful. The garden and towers are kept in good shape, view to the canal and the city was also stunning from here. You can enjoy a coffee our a meal also.

Great walk towards the castle if you have a bit of a condition because it requires quite some stairs from Rijeka. But it's more than worth it, amazing views and afterwards a nice drink inside while watching the sun go down.

A Fantastic Coastal Escape Crikvenica Beach offers everything you could want for a perfect day by the sea. There's plenty of shade available, so you can easily escape the sun when you need to. The facilities are excellent, with readily available showers, changing cabins, and clean toilets. For those looking for more than just sunbathing, there are various entertainment options to keep everyone amused. Plus, you'll find an abundance of places to grab food and drinks, ensuring you're never far from a refreshing beverage or a tasty bite. I'll definitely be coming back here!

Wonderful and beautifully landscaped beach. It is covered with tiny pebbles. The sea is clean. There is a lot of shadows on the beach. There is also a city beach with a sand, but it is payable. There are many restaurants with good food and lots of bars and souvenir shops. Is very suitable for families with small children. On the beach is also a wonderful playground.

It's a city beach, but a nice one, coverd with sand and pebbles. There are chairs in one side, but you can also lay your towel or beach tent. There are nice playgrounds. To avoid the stones from the shore, you can get into the sea on the pier. There is also an elevator for the ones with disabilities.

This 550-hectare protected natural area is home to a variety of rare bird species & their nests.
It’s my favorite beach in Cres. Landscape is scenic, beach is small but surrounded by mountains and crystal blue water. You need to walk 10-15mn to go down from the parking but can be done easily as you will walk on roads. To climb up it’s 15-20mn but nothing too hard. The advice is to go early as it could be quickly crowded during high season. Bring an umbrella and enough water as there is no shade.

Sea is really beautiful, crystal clear green water with amazing view on cliffs, the only downgrade is that the beach is not pebbles but heavy rocks so I recommend shoes for water. And one more downgrade is that the place is full of wasps and hornets so be preppared for that.

G D — Google review
Beautiful sandy beach in the island of Rab, infront is a small island that you can cross with a bike boat. There you can do some snorkeling with your sport camera 📸 The difference between Jesolo Italy and Lopar, the people in Lopar is not so friendly. The restaurant waitresses are friendly, but the little stores who selling swimming products; they never smile, they never want to ingage ( connect ) with the customers. Unfortune I think, they supposed to attract more tourists, but their behaviour I feel it "not polite". Do I want to go back to Lopar? Yes, I think besides that the stores owner or supermarket not friendly; Lopar is very beautiful ❤️ the food is good 👍 PS : The chairs and umbrella 🏖️ cost €19,50. You come to the beach, choose which one that you like to sit. Later on come a guy with little machine, you pay him, you'll get a receipt 🧾
Lovely A — Google review
Beautifull public beach, it's a pity that there are no rules on the beach so you pay for sunbeds and you see the tents people are putting in front of you so you don't have any sea view. The tents should be allowed in the back of the sunbeds not in front, it is disrespectful for the ones who pay them. In this way it looks like a Gypsy style beach.

Bear Sanctuary, Kuterevo

Wildlife rescue service
Nature & Parks
Nature & Wildlife Areas
Nestled in the northern Velebit mountains, Bear Sanctuary, Kuterevo is a haven for orphaned bears undergoing rehabilitation. The sanctuary, sustained by donations for over 20 years, offers a hippy commune vibe and ample free parking. Visitors can observe nine well-cared-for bears in spacious enclosures while enjoying the picturesque surroundings of the small village. Run entirely by volunteers, the sanctuary provides educational information and offers locally made products like jam, honey, cheese, and vegetables.
You don't have to be a bear fanatic like my partner to appreciate the fantastic work the lovely volunteers do to improve the lives of these majestic beasts. Anyone travelling down from northern Croatia to the Split area should pay a cost to support the work this charity does.
Howard T — Google review
Adored our time at the Kuterevo Bear Sanctuary. The sanctuary is free to visit but please bring cash to donate!!! As a bear lover, it was amazing to see the beautiful bears in enclosures full of trees, bushes, and ponds to emulate their natural habitat. With a bit of patience and by exploring the various enclosures, we saw 4 bears. The drive to the sanctuary is long and winding but seeing the Croatian countryside was nice.

We drove here on the way back from Plitvice Lakes and we had the most amazing time - definately worth a visit and a generous donation. The whole sanctuary is funded by the owners pension + donations! Highly recommend!

What a wonderful community run place of sanctuary for orphan bears. Well kept and loved in as marvellous a setting as possible. We had a lovely time and even got to share feeding time for the adult bears..
Sara B — Google review
We went mid-day so most bears were somewear in the shade as it was super hot that day, but we still got to see a couple. Its a free to visit sactuary, but you can buy things in the giftshop or donate via PayPal - we bought small wooden bear statues. Would recommend to visit if you are in the region. They also have some birds to see.
Gabija A — Google review
Well worth a visit. I am always wary of "animal sanctuaries" but this is genuine and is 100% about the animals. We arrived in the heat of the day so initially didn't see much but returned after some food at the wonderful local hotel / restaurant Butina up the road when it had cooled a little. We then had the privilege of seeing the three younger bears emerge from their shady areas. It has a great vibe and friendly, welcoming volunteers. No entry fee but of course donations encouraged.
Caroline P — Google review
Fantastic experience for the whole family. We drove here from Plitvice. We stayed for about 1.5 hours (as we were also waiting for the feeding) TIPS for a more enjoyable experience. - go during feeding time. Evening one is at 5pm. We only saw one of the bears outside of the feeding. - it is free, but do buy yourself a souvenir to support them. Bring cash - the place is not wheelchair or stroller friendly, so plan accordingly

A little off the beaten path, but well worth the effort to visit. We saw 6 different bears in the habitat. It,was almost like seeing them in their home forest. They looked very healthy and well taken care of. We watched as two of the teenage bears wrestled, it was fun to watch them have fun. Our visit was the highlight of our day.

Rastoke, situated in the Town of Slunj, is a charming village renowned for its picturesque setting along the Slunjčica River, where it converges with the Korana River. Often likened to the natural wonders of Plitvice Lakes, Rastoke offers similar captivating phenomena. Unlike heavily Instagrammed locations, Rastoke remains a hidden gem devoid of long queues and influencer photo shoots.

Kokopelli Beach Bar is a great place for a relax day by the sea, with lovely sunset view. It has an excellent selection of craft beers and regular live music make it the perfect spot to spend your time. If you're looking for anything else, just ask the friendly owner Zeljko who will do everything he can to help you out. Highly recommended!

Excellent drinks/cocktails! There is a very wide selection of cocktails and different drinks and they are all expertly made, very creative and incredibly delicious! The atmosphere is African inspired and has really cool and original furniture (there’s a wooden snake statue with gold earrings and a table resembling a bug. So cute). The barman as well is very nice and friendly and gives excellent drink recommendations! This is overall a great spot for a drink, a clean 10/10 beach spot!

Location is nice but cocktail was very soft Iike everywhere in Croatia. It tastes like a non- alcohol cocktail. But I was very disapointed because of the price. Maybe a tourist price? 10€ for a simple Cocktail (Coke, Rum, Sugar and Lime) is more than at Simuni Camping. This is too much and more expensive than in Spain, Italy or France for example where they put more alcohol inside

Beach Ručica is a sheltered beach located amidst rocky terrain, featuring a combination of sand and pebbles with clear water. Visitors can enjoy the low-key atmosphere and grab refreshments at the nearby café. While sailing around Pag, it's highly recommended to include Beach Ručica in your itinerary along with other famous beaches like Slana, Seline, and Beritnica in Metajna.

It's a very nice place, but ships come to anchor here for lunch from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM. You can arrive by boat taxi or on foot along the Mars trail.
Hedvig J — Google review
We were here over a decade ago and have returned every time, enchanted by this beautiful place. Unfortunately, it must be said that recent years, especially during the holiday season, have brought a real influx of tourists. This is evident by the expanding size of parking lots and new restaurants popping up a stone's throw from the beach. Still, this beach is simply amazing. You can start trekking to several less crowded nearby beaches or take a taxi boat. A beautiful Martian atmosphere. The quintessence of Pag Island.

Ručica Beach is a hidden gem on Pag Island—ideal for those seeking tranquility and a touch of adventure. With its breathtakingly clear waters, rugged lunar scenery, and minimal crowds, it’s the perfect spot for reflection, relaxation, and a few unforgettable photos. Just remember: no natural shade, so pack accordingly!

Lovely beach on the island of Pag, which we visited during our stay. This beach is only accessible via a small and narrow dirt road (about 3km long), and there are some parking spots available. There is a shady bistro on the right sight and public toilets. Regrettably, we were very much put off due to the amount of rubbish and cigarette buds left behind. There are garbage containers available. However, they were overflowing.

The beach is wonderful, the water is crystal clear. Very beautiful and worth a visit. Beautiful views, relaxation and disconnection from everything. The beach does not have any shade so I recommend an umbrella or any kind of sun protection. The beach is accessible by car, the road is macadam at the end and a bit narrower.

Great Waterfall

Mentioned on 
17 lists 
Nature & Parks
Waterfalls
Great Waterfall, also known as Veliki Slap, is a stunning natural wonder located within a national park in Croatia. Standing at an impressive 78 meters tall, it is the highest waterfall in the country and offers breathtaking views. The surrounding area features picturesque picnicking spots and a viewing platform to take in the beauty of the cascading water. Visitors can also explore the Sastavci waterfalls, which create a dramatic scene as they appear to be an extension of Great Waterfall.
This is the tallest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park, measuring approximately 78 meters in height. It is a single-drop waterfall, cascading straight down from a high cliff in a dramatic and powerful flow. The sight of the water plunging in a single stream is truly awe-inspiring. In spring and after rainfall, the volume of water increases, creating an even more impressive spectacle. During winter, the frozen form offers a completely different yet equally stunning view. Visiting early in the morning rewards you with a magical atmosphere, as mist and sunlight create a dreamlike setting. It is the closest major attraction to Ticket Office 1, and certain trail routes allow you to reach a viewpoint right at the base of the waterfall.

The "Great Waterfall" in Croatia is called Veliki Slap and is the largest waterfall in Plitvice Lakes National Park. It has a height of 78 meters and is fed by the Plitvica River. What a magnificent view!

The big waterfall looks perfect. If you are lucky, your impression will be completed by the small drops carried by the gentle wind from the waterfall that fall on the tourists. The impression would be better if there weren't so many tourists in this place, but I can understand why people stay here.
King S — Google review
Dreamy, full-on nature immersive! Only downside: wooden path is very narrow plus at water level, so u can't enjoy the waterfall in absolute peace - making space for people passing all the time & the anxiety of your belongings (phone etc) falling in the lakes.

Absolutely gorgeous and an amazing experience to be here. This is the highest waterfall in the Plitvice National Park – 78 meters high situated at the very end of the Lower Lakes. It is fed by the waters of the Plitvica Potok River. Considered as the most beautiful one on the Lakes, this waterfall is also the highest one in the whole of Croatia. A must visit site, when in Croatia.
Rahmah R — Google review
TOURIST TRAP. It’s an amazing natural site, however the queues are crazy and it seems they let too many people into the park. Expect 1 or 2 hour queue to catch the boat. We ended up not bothering and just walking. I’d recommend visiting but maybe come off season or get here super early. The time slot is just for entrance, not the boats.

B&B Lower Lakes is a part of the stunning Plitvice Lakes National Park, which is known for its breathtaking natural beauty and numerous lakes. The park is vast, covering much more than just the 16 lakes it's famous for. Visitors can choose between flexible programs to explore the Upper and Lower Lakes, with two main entrances providing access to different sections of the park.
Remember the place, great service, and good rooms. Placed two minutes from the entering of Plitvice park, do not need a car to enter. Great breakfast. We loved it and recommended everyone to come and enjoy it. Thank you, Milica and Nicolas, the stay here was amazing because of your great service.

This beautiful hotel was very comfortable and easy to find. Check in was a breeze and the room was amazing. We had a wonderful balcony to sit on. The property also has a lot of outside sitting and a few swings. There is free parking on the property and they allowed us to leave our car there while we hiked in the park. The 3rd entrance to the park is a 5 Min walk away and very convenient. We were able to go the opposite way of most people visiting and had zero wait for the boat at the end of the day since everyone is heading the other way.

Location, location! This is an amazing place to stay with so many perks. The entrance to Plitvice Park is just a short walk away, and there are a couple of really nice restaurants within walking distance. Our host, Mirjana, was wonderful. Even though we arrived late, she was there to greet us and help us get settled. She asked what time we’d like breakfast, and had everything prepared and ready earlier than scheduled. The breakfast spread was incredible—so many options, including cheeses, fresh fruit, yogurt, jams, breads, and coffee. On top of that, she made us delicious eggs every morning. The room was spotless, and we had a beautiful balcony overlooking the backyard. It was the perfect spot to enjoy the fresh air, complete with Adirondack chairs, a swing, and tables. Parking was free and right at B&B. We couldn’t have asked for more. We would absolutely stay here again, and I can’t wait to recommend it to my friends and family.

Everything was absolutely excellent. The room was super big and had everything you need. Cleaning 10+++. A lot of attention to details, you could tell the accommodation was carefully and tastefully designed. The host was incredibly nice and she makes the best pancakes and scrambled eggs. So you can probably tell we also loved the breakfast. :) For the Park, you can buy online any Entrance ticket and the hour doesn't matter that much. There is an unofficial entrance very close by, where the Park staff will scan your tickets. We visited in September, but I recommend you to eat your morning breakfast, then grab some snacks for the rest of the day. There are very limited options on the resting areas on the routes. For dinner, we highly recommend to avoid the restaurants nearby the accommodation, take the car and drive for 15 minutes to Restaurant Degenija - better prices and much better quality food. I really hope all accommodations were like this. 💚

Modern, new and clean rooms. Amazing outdoor area. Very helpful and friendly staff who can help you with buying tickets and give you tips on what to see or where to eat in the area. If you are looking for a quiet place in Plitvice, this is the best place. The accommodation is approx. 400-500 meters from the unofficial entrance to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. However, you can only use this entrance with a valid ticket, which you must purchase in advance (24 hours) on the Plitvice Lakes website. We spent in this place 3 wonderful nights and had enough time to explore Plitvice lakes and taste local food

Milica Rapaic was a perfect host for such a cute and picturesque B&B in the great mountains of the Plitvica!! With the help of Milica, she help planned my proposal here :) She gave secret tips of the best view points that only the locals know!

Plitvice Lakes National Park

Mentioned on 
+125 other lists 
National park
Nature & Parks
Plitvice Lakes National Park is a stunning destination in the heart of Croatia, known for its picturesque lakes, alpine forests, waterfalls, and caves. It's an ideal place for romantic getaways or family adventures. Couples can enjoy enchanting lookouts, romantic walks along the trails with the soothing sounds of waterfalls, and a stay at Jezero Hotel followed by a romantic dinner at Licka Kuca restaurant.
Plitvice Lakes National Park is one of pure, awe-inspiring beauty. The 16 lakes, connected by countless waterfalls and cascades in stunning turquoise-blue hues, are a true paradise. Walking on the wooden boardwalks allows you to get close to the water, feel the mist of the falls and see almost to the bottom of the lakes. It's an absolute must-do for any nature lover. Important points on the trails and walking conditions: The park offers a variety of routes (like C, H, F, E etc.) that combine walking, a boat ride on Lake Kozjak, and use of a shuttle. Most of the walking paths and boardwalks are very narrow, slippery, and sometimes uneven, and the park gets extremely crowded, therefore in my opinion the trails are not suitable for baby strollers or wheelchairs, also - access is difficult for people with walking difficulties or seniors who require stability. Recommended to wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip. Tickets: Recommended to book tickets online in advance for a specific time slot and entrance (1 or 2), as the daily visitor capacity is limited and tickets sell out quickly. It's best to arrive as early as possible (right at opening time) to avoid the biggest crowds. Paid parking is available at both entrances (make sure to park at the entrance for which you bought your ticket). Along the paths, there are several rest points with WCs and some places to buy food, but it's a bit pricey, so you can bring some water, sandwiches, or snacks. In summary, this is an amazing natural wonder that is worth every effort.

Absolutely stunning nature, I felt like I was wandering through the loveliest dream. Aside from the obvious, the forest itself is incredibly beautiful, soft, nurturing, with ivy covered trees, moss adorned rocks, and colorful leaves blanketing the forest floor. I highly recommend coming in mid to late October for the fall foliage, it imbues a mystical quality to this already enchanted place.

Very beautiful park and easy to access. We was lucky to get 2 versions of the scenery. We came late on day 1 (17 Nov), so we decided to revisit in the next day. There was significant snow and the scenery had changed. Although we couldn't go to your lakes due to the weather, the scenery in lower lakes was fantastic.

Such a beautiful serene environment, walking on the trails did get a bit busy at times but once you're in its amazing to see little pockets of natural beauty, clear waters, different varieties of fish, plants and many jaw dropping waterfalls, too many to count. I would highly recommend for anyone visiting Croatia.

This park is really fantastic. We were here for two days. Walked about 30 km. Some areas quite busy (great waterfall). If possible i recommend an early start to avoid the tourists coming in by busloads. The lakes are great and everything is remarkably clean. We had a great time, highlight of our trip to Croatia.

It's no wonder the Plitvice Lakes are called Croatia's main attraction. It's a vast and incredibly beautiful national park. We visited in the summer, so everything was blooming and green. The park's highlight is the many waterfalls it has. Here, the waterfalls resemble delicate lace, an exquisite interplay of streams and intertwining water flows - there waterfalls upon waterfalls. If you're in Croatia, don't miss the opportunity to admire this spectacle! Some of the hiking trails will easily last a few hours, so prepare to spend a full day here.
Mat B — Google review
Great planning in the national park, with bus and boat inclusive with the ticket which is unbelievable at this kind of world-famous tourist spot. Experienced route H, spent around 5 hours and quite easy to walk, thanks for the bus taking us uphill and start at the top with over 80% of the journey are downhill. Fall season should be promoted more, the view is amazing, weather is comfortable but obviously there are not many visitors during Oct.

Being a great study of Nikola Tesla and his understanding of the forces of nature meant I couldn't miss visiting this place! This memorial is a great tribute to a remarkable man.

Step into the serene village where one of history's greatest minds began his journey - Nikola Tesla, the visionary behind modern electricity. This enchanting destination is more than just a museum; it's an experience that radiates peace, profound symbolism, and boundless inspiration. Arrive on the hour and witness the electrifying Tesla coil demonstration, followed by a compelling short documentary that brings Tesla's brilliance to life. The museum complex offers: - A playground where young minds can dream big - A souvenir shop packed with keepsakes charged with inspiration - A historic Orthodox church where Tesla’s father once preached, adding spiritual depth to your visit Whether you're a science enthusiast, a curious traveler, or a seeker of inspiration, allow yourself a longer stay to truly absorb the energy that permeates this remarkable place. It’s not just a trip - it’s a spark that can ignite your own creativity.

Paklenica National Park is a stunning 95 sq km protected mountain forest located in the Velebit Range, which separates continental Croatia from the Adriatic coast. The park boasts two peaks higher than 1,700m and features two deep gorges, Velika Paklenica and Mala Paklenica, with cliffs over 400m high. Its unique geographical position results in diverse vegetation and climate zones ranging from warm Mediterranean to cold mountain climate.
One of these places where you don't need to walk much to see something amazing;) Just outside the parking lot, you can observe climbers or simply rest in the shade of the mountains and trees. Definitely go on a trek too or take a climbing lesson with a local guide!
Joanna ( — Google review
If you're going to go up the mountain, take sturdy shoes. We went up Vidakov Kuk. 745m high. About 6.4km to get there. The trail is fine up to the point of the Manitec cave. After that, you follow the red and white circles and lines to the top. It's not easy, there are no safety barriers, and sometimes it's pretty much straight up, holding onto rocks, steel wire and trees. Take your time and look for the next red and marker to set your course. When you get to the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent view. To get down there are 2 ways, back the way you came, or keep going, following the red and white markers. I would recommend going back the way you came. Even though the first part of that will be difficult, one you hit the trail it's easy sailing. Continuing on is a task and a half. The trail is VERY difficult. Steep slopes, on rocks most of the way, and you only have the markers as a guide as there is no real trail marked. It's tough on knees and ankles. Sometimes it feels like it will never end, you double back on yourself and feel lost. Plus it takes a lot longer this way. And when you get to the end, you will probably question your intelligence as why you did it 😄. But, if adventure is what you are wanting, do it.

So the park and scenery is great. But the trails although clearly marked they are extremely confusing for people who want to hike more difficult trails. The map provided doesn’t align with the signs on the trails. So you don’t really know what you will see when you reach the trail end. They could mark up loop trails and colour code them by time and difficulty level. But if you have a one day there and want to do quick hike it will be nearly impossible to understand which trail to choose to see something as everything provided by the park is unusable. Restaurants in the park is cash only so don’t forget the money if you want to eat something.

Juraj B — Google review
The park is absolutely stunning and worth visiting, but hikers (especially visitors unfamiliar with the terrain) should be careful — it’s very easy to lose the trail, even just a few meters off. The rocky karst slopes can make every direction look the same, and some paths aren’t clearly marked. A small wrong turn can quickly lead into thick, thorny bushes and rough ground. I recommend adding more visible trail markings and some English-language signs or disclaimers, especially near confusing sections, so visitors can stay safe and enjoy the hike with confidence. Huge thanks to the park staff — they were incredibly kind, calm, and helpful when I got disoriented and needed assistance. Their professionalism and kindness really stood out.

Even though the first part of that will be difficult, one you hit the trail it's easy sailing. Continuing on is a task and a half. The trail is VERY difficult. Steep slopes, on rocks most of the way, and you only have the markers as a guide as there is no real trail marked. It's tough on knees and ankles. Sometimes it feels like it will never end, you double back on yourself and feel lost. Plus it takes a lot longer this way. And when you get to the end, you will probably question your intelligence as why you did it 😄. But, if adventure is what you are wanting, do it.

This NP exceeded my expectations. Was a really lovely walk up to the cave and we had a great tour of the cave too. Toilets were clean and stocked. Great day out.

So the park and scenery is great. But the trails although clearly marked they are extremely confusing for people who want to hike more difficult trails. The map provided doesn’t align with the signs on the trails. So you don’t really know what you will see when you reach the trail end. They could mark up loop trails and colour code them by time and difficulty level. But if you have a one day there and want to do quick hike it will be nearly impossible to understand which trail to choose to see something as everything provided by the park is unusable. Restaurants in the park is cash only so don’t forget the money if you want to eat something.

Where the mountain meets the sea. Beautiful place, nice trails, awesome views.
Juraj B — Google review
The park is absolutely stunning and worth visiting, but hikers (especially visitors unfamiliar with the terrain) should be careful — it’s very easy to lose the trail, even just a few meters off. The rocky karst slopes can make every direction look the same, and some paths aren’t clearly marked. A small wrong turn can quickly lead into thick, thorny bushes and rough ground. I recommend adding more visible trail markings and some English-language signs or disclaimers, especially near confusing sections, so visitors can stay safe and enjoy the hike with confidence. Huge thanks to the park staff — they were incredibly kind, calm, and helpful when I got disoriented and needed assistance. Their professionalism and kindness really stood out.

Magnificent and off the beaten path!! Great spot for rock climbing or excellent views of the canyon and coast! Absolutely loved the trail and the rain helped cool us off. Could definitely see the park trails getting more slippery when wet.

The Greeting to the Sun

Mentioned on 
+81 other lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
The Greeting to the Sun is a modern artistic installation located in Zadar, consisting of 300 multi-layered glass plates arranged in a circle on the waterfront. Beneath these glass plates are solar modules that create a symbolic connection with nature through light. At sunset, the lighting elements within the circle illuminate and produce a mesmerizing light show synchronized with the waves and sounds of the nearby Sea Organs.
This piece surprised me not just visually but conceptually. It’s more than just lights—it’s a clever tribute to nature, astronomy, and renewable energy. The solar panels absorb sunlight all day and then use that stored energy to create a multi-colored light show after dark. It’s especially meaningful if you're into science, sustainability, or just interactive public art. Families, couples, solo travelers—everyone seemed to be drawn in. I loved the blend of technology, nature, and creativity. Great spot to relax, reflect, or just be present.
Madhushree M — Google review
Very interesting bit of technology with solar power allowing a light show on hundreds of panels. Given that it's right next to the equally fascinating sea organ you're bound to visit it when in Zadar. Great area for the sunset. Some reviewers complain about the number of people - but for my group, all the happy, smiling admirers was a plus not a minus. Definitely worth a visit.
Mat B — Google review
Greeting to the Sun in Zadar offers an absolutely mesmerizing experience that perfectly encapsulates the beauty of the Adriatic. As the day draws to a close, the sunset here is nothing short of spectacular, painting the sky with vibrant hues that reflect off the calm waters. You'll find yourself captivated by the silhouette of boats gently bobbing on the sea, adding to the picturesque scene. The magic truly comes alive as dusk settles in, and the Sea Organ begins its melodic performance, creating an ethereal soundtrack that perfectly complements the visual spectacle. And then there are the lights of the Greeting to the Sun itself – their simplicity is their genius, creating an interactive and enchanting display of the ground that is both playful and profound. It's a place where natural beauty, human ingenuity, and a sense of wonder seamlessly blend together. A must-visit for anyone in Zadar!
Matt W — Google review
Visiting the Greeting to the Sun was one of the highlights of my trip to Zadar. This stunning installation, located right by the sea next to the famous Sea Organ, is an incredible blend of art, science, and nature. During the day, the large circular platform quietly absorbs sunlight, but as soon as the sun sets, it lights up with vibrant, colorful patterns powered by solar energy. It feels like the ground itself is alive with energy! What I loved most was how the installation connects you to the cosmos — with a solar calendar engraved on the ring and smaller discs representing the planets nearby. It’s not just beautiful but also educational. The nearby Sea Organ adds a magical soundtrack as the waves create peaceful, melodic sounds, making the whole experience truly multi-sensory. The location is perfect for an evening stroll along the waterfront, watching the sunset while enjoying this unique light show. Best of all, it’s completely free and open at all times. I highly recommend visiting just before dusk to catch the full effect. A perfect spot for photos, relaxation, and soaking in Zadar’s creative spirit!

On the western extremity of Zadar’s old town, this modern installation is a remarkable addition to Zadar alongside its neighbour the Sea Organ. Both are designed by Nikola Bašić. It consists of 300 multi-layered glass solar panels in the shape of a circle of a 22-meter diameter. It collects the energy of the Sun and transforms it into the electricity, which is then used by and around the installation throughout the night. Wait for dusk to be over to fully appreciate the marvel.
Anil J — Google review
Monument dedicated to sun. It is work of Nikola Bašić, architect who made sea organ next to this monument. These two monuments symbolize comunication with nature. This one comunicates with light and organ comunicate with sound. In the evening the lights turn on and you can enjoy in lightshow.

Best rendezvous place for families and friends. This solar-powered attraction lights up at night with colorful LED displays. Beautiful and unique park.

Situated near the Sea Orgulje lies a large blue solar circle that starts to light up in colour when the sun sets. That's why it's called the greeting to the sun and a goodbye!

Sea Organ

Mentioned on 
+138 other lists 
Sights & Landmarks
Points of Interest & Landmarks
Nestled along the stunning coastline of Zadar, the Sea Organ is a remarkable fusion of art and nature that captivates visitors with its enchanting melodies. This large experimental musical instrument is ingeniously designed beneath a staircase leading to the sea, where waves interact with a hidden system of pipes and whistles. As the tides ebb and flow, they create hauntingly beautiful sounds that are both unpredictable and mesmerizing.
It’s one of the most unique and peaceful places I’ve ever visited. The sound of the waves creating soft, natural music is so relaxing — perfect for just sitting back and enjoying the moment. The sunset here is breathtaking — the sky turns into a mix of orange, pink, and purple while you listen to the ocean "play" its song. The atmosphere is calm, romantic, and ideal for unwinding after a day of sightseeing. A beautiful blend of nature, art, and sound. Don’t miss it if you’re in Zadar!
Niroshan P — Google review
This was one of the most unique and mesmerizing public art installations I’ve ever experienced. It looks like a giant glass disc set into the promenade, but as the sun sets, the entire thing comes alive with vibrant, shifting lights powered by solar energy collected during the day. The best part? You’re watching this incredible light show right next to the Adriatic, with live waves crashing and the Sea Organ playing in the background. Magical. The atmosphere in the evening is peaceful yet energetic—locals and travelers just soaking in the vibe. A must-visit if you’re in Zadar, especially at sunset.
Madhushree M — Google review
A very interesting spot on the embankment. The entire embankment is a pleasant place for a stroll, but the sea organ is a must-see, a chance to sit on the steps and listen to the sea sing. The best time to visit is when the waves are moderate. If the waves are calm, the sound is almost inaudible. If the waves are very rough, the sea floods the steps.
Miha S — Google review
It’s a great area to listen to some good music performed at the steps by the sea. The music comes from the waves and ripples underneath the granite steps. It was so relaxing, and it was a great place to sit and watch the activity on the water. It’s a great area for a stroll and gather some history. This is the area for Alfred Hitchcock love to watch the sunset, he said the best in the world. I WOULD RECOMMEND
Cindy L — Google review
It's a particularly special feeling when the sun sets and the people gathered there spontaneously begin to clap, as if they've just witnessed a performance. And when I think about it more closely, it really is the best show I've ever seen! So...the Sea Organ (Morske orgulje) is a unique architectural sound art object and experimental musical instrument located on the coast of Zadar, Croatia. Designed by architect Nikola Bašić, this ingenious creation uses the power of the sea to create a symphony of sound. Hidden beneath a series of large, white marble steps are 35 organ pipes of different lengths, shapes, and sizes. As waves and tides wash into the coastline, they push air through these pipes, producing melancholic and beautifully random musical tones. Because the sea is ever-changing, the organ never plays the same melody twice, making each listening experience a one-of-a-kind moment. Waiting for the sunset while listening to the Sea Organ is truly a spectacular and unforgettable experience. This is confirmed by the large number of people who gather to enjoy the hypnotic sound and the breathtaking spectacle of the sun dipping below the horizon. It's a place where nature, art, and human emotion come together in perfect harmony.

Church of St. Donatus

Mentioned on

Catholic church
Sights & Landmarks
Churches & Cathedrals
Saint Donatus’ Church is a large Catholic church with a circular shape that was constructed in the 9th century. It is located near the Roman Forum and St. Anastasia's Cathedral in Zadar, Croatia. The church has a pre-Romanesque style and is considered one of the most important landmarks in Dalmatia from that time period. Named after Bishop Donat, it features clean lines, a circular ground plan, and fortress-like architecture.
Visiting the Church of St. Donatus and climbing the adjacent Bell Tower is well worth the effort - the entrance is 5€. The church’s unusual circular arhitecture with it's mixture of Romanesque and Byzantine influences dates back to the 9th century and it's definitely a bit of a gem. Climbing the Bell Tower is rewarded with an excellent panorama of Zadar’s old town, the shimmering Adriatic Sea, and nearby islands.
Mat B — Google review
An impressive ancient church located next to the Forum and the Cathedral. We were visiting early and had the place to ourselves. It was probably built in the 9th century and its design reflects architectural traditions of that time. It has a very authentic and somewhat eery vibe. I wish there were more explanations or some sort of a tour, but anyway, it was an interesting stop in Zadar. The entrance was 4 ears (cash only).
Ed G — Google review
Ancient church, surrounded by roman heritage of an old town square and amphitheater. The church is small but still neat to see and sit and imagine how assemblies were held inside. Beautiful steps, and clean. 5€ per son's over 10yrs old to enter. About a 30 min adventure at most. But you can't put a price on history

Very historical buildings with a long glory history. Iis no longer an operational church but just being conserved for it's history and as a tourist attraction. Can see it's structure was constructed many years ago using old masonry techniques. It's still very solid and strong. Worth a visit to get an understanding or Zadar and also St Donatus' Church significance in this city & town.

A beautiful ancient church located in the heart of Zadar's old town and near the sea front. Taking a walk around old town reveals its historic charm, with each alleyway having its own story to tell! A walk around the oldtown and the sea front is definitely a must in Zadar!

I happen to be in Zadar when it just finished raining… do not make the same mistake. The crowds of people that filled the streets was insane. Many shopkeepers recommended to come when it rains as there are less people. But oh my days. However, the church is still very beautiful its just impossible to fully enjoy under such pretences
Mia S — Google review
A magical place in the heart of Zadar, especially at night when the Romanesque bell tower and the Church of St. Donatus are beautifully illuminated. The square is full of life, with street performers, tourists, and cozy cafés around. The contrast between the ancient stone structures and the lively modern atmosphere creates a unique and memorable vibe. A must-visit spot for history lovers and anyone looking to feel the soul of the old town. Absolutely stunning!

Land Gate

Mentioned on 
+41 other lists 
Historical landmark
Sights & Landmarks
The Land Gate in Zadar is a significant historical landmark that serves as the main entrance to the old town area, enclosed by medieval walls. Constructed in the 16th century by the Venetians, it features a grand triumphal arch adorned with intricate stone carvings depicting images of Zadar's patron saint and the winged lion of St. Mark.
The Land Gate (Kopnena Vrata) is one of Zadar’s most iconic historical landmarks, located in the city’s Old Town. Built in 1543 by the Venetian architect Michele Sanmicheli, it served as the main entrance to the fortified city during the Venetian Republic. It is a stunning example of Renaissance architecture and holds immense historical and cultural significance. Key Features: 1. Design: • The gate is adorned with elaborate carvings, including a central triumphal arch flanked by two smaller arches. • At the top, it features the Lion of Saint Mark, a symbol of Venice, signifying Zadar’s importance as part of the Venetian Republic during that time. • It also includes decorative elements such as coats of arms and inscriptions. 2. Function: • The Land Gate was strategically positioned as part of the city’s defensive walls, which protected Zadar from Ottoman attacks. • It connected the city to the mainland via a drawbridge over the Fosa, a narrow moat that still exists today. 3. Cultural Significance: • Today, the Land Gate is a preserved part of Zadar’s UNESCO-listed Venetian fortifications. • It stands as a symbol of Zadar’s rich history and its strategic importance in the Adriatic during the Renaissance period. Modern Use: The Land Gate is now a pedestrian passage and a favorite spot for visitors exploring the Old Town. Its location near the Fosa Harbor makes it a picturesque entrance to Zadar’s historic center.

Beautiful historic monument, as is the Queen Jelena Madijevka Park, a Historic park atop the city bastions. There were 2 guided tours at the sane time, one in Mandarin Chinese, one in English at 5he time I visited. I would definitely recommend to go see the Land Gate at Fuša Harbor.

The 1543 entrance gate in Zadar impresses with its history and architecture. The Venetian walls are adorned with reliefs of a lion and St. Chrysogonus. Definitely worth seeing! Nearby, there's a shady park and a picturesque bay offering cruises for diving or sunset views. The gate was a crucial part of the city's defense during the Venetian Republic era and symbolizes its rich cultural heritage. Highly recommended!

Most impressive of the gates is the Land Gate, main entrance into Zadar. It is built by Michele Sanmicheli in 1543 and it has a form of a triumphal arch with a central passage and two smaller two arches for wheeled traffic and pedestrians.
Mat B — Google review
This is one of the beautiful old gates in the wall of the city. We understand that when the city was an island much of the area beyond this massive gate was a huge water filled mote. Eventually the mote was filled in forming a peninsula. Today the arch remains where the gates were and is a lovely historical landmark.
Louis E — Google review
From all city gates this might be the most remarkable and the most beautiful. Not only due to its Venetian Lion. Just maybe because of its sheere size. It is the entry and exit point to the South. And considering the historic centre is almost detached to three sides by waters, the Southern gate is the most important. Don’t miss!
Philipp S — Google review
This is a review of Zadar in general, not specifically the gate. It is not a great city to visit. Many of the building are modern concrete construction and it probably has the highest proportion of tourist trap restaurants. Lots of loud tourists and not a peaceful atmosphere. If you want to visit, don't bother staying more than one night.

Went on a 14km~ rafting tour down a river that is used for white water rafting some months of the year. It was very calm when we were there in mid August. Riva rafting gave us a map and a place to meet them at their centre next to the start point, then gave us all the gear we needed (helmets, life jackets, waterproof pots) and then we got into inflatable rafts in pairs. There were two skippers - one at the front and one at the back to make sure everyone was accounted for. They led us through everything in English and we had a great time, despite a thunderstorm at the very end! At the end point they took drivers off to get the cars and the rest of us waited at the bar. As we paid for the tour + lunch, we also went to their campsite restaurant and were given a mixed grill. Altogether it was great value and we had a fantastic time!

Our rafting trip with this company in Croatia was absolutely stunning, striking the perfect balance between safety, fun, nature, and thrill. From start to finish, our guides, Maila and Ramesh, were professional and attentive, creating a sense of constant safety. This is so important, as it allowed our group, which included families and people with varying levels of preparation, to fully relax and enjoy the experience. Their teamwork was incredible, and their awareness made us feel completely secure, even for the families with younger children on the trip. What sets this team apart is their ability to deliver constant excitement and thrilling moments without compromising safety. They kept the energy high with plenty of laughs and memorable moments. It’s rare to find a team that can give you such a rush while also ensuring you feel completely looked after.

A great restaurant right in the marina in Biograd. Very spacious, with a terrace and a view of yachts and sailboats. The restaurant is impeccably clean and beautifully decorated. Drink prices are average while food prices may be slightly higher than average. The menu is very interesting and will give you the opportunity to try something new. The staff is very kind and helpful in choosing food. The menu includes fish, crustacean and meat dishes. There is a children's menu. There are also desserts for those with a sweet tooth. Paid parking is available right next to the restaurant while free street parking is available nearby.

Amazing Beach. Only horrible thing is the parking. There are weird people running around selling overpriced parking tickets, for the parking at the beach. But if you park near the Konzum supermarket 10 minutes by foot away in the town, you only pay 1€ per hour. You have to pay with the BMove app though. But the installation of the app and purchasing of the ticket was super easy. Really recommend that option!

A visit of the Bibich vinery is highly recommendable. It is a place where you feel welcome and can enjoy the time you spend. The food is extraordinary and was for us an unexpected top experience alongside the many vines we tasted. The vines surprise and inspire and some of them are outstanding. This is a top notch vinery in my opinion. Nikola (I hope I write the name correctly) was the sommelier who served us and who knows everything about all the vines and the vinery and who is very nice and happy to answer all the questions. In the end we even had a honourable chat with the owner and wine-maker Alen Bibich. Many thanks for everything and this wonderful experience! 🙏
