Tours in Croatia by Secret Dalmatia

Zagreb

Treasures of Continental Croatia

Commonly the first touchdown when traveling to Croatia by plane, Zagreb is an opportunity for a grand Croatian introduction before continuing toward the Dalmatian coast, Istria or Slovenia. A quintessential central European city with lovely parks and innumerable car-free, cobblestone streets, Zagreb is a city that embraces the modern but never forgets its glorious past. Wandering the winding lanes and alleys of the Old Town, the fabulous open-air flower and produce market (showcasing the best of the region’s cheese, meats, bakery items and more), terrific pastry shops, cafés and boutiques, and its green string of romantic parks is the greatest way to soak up the sophisticated beauty of Croatia’s capital.

Welcome to one of the most ‘storybook’ settings in Europe where the natural beauty and romantic ambiance of Slovenia put on a spectacular show – the magical Lake Bled! An emerald green lake with Slovenia’s only island is surrounded by alpine forests, a castle perched high on the ridge and the snowcapped peaks of the Julian Alps in the backdrop. A picture – perfect church occupies the small island, awaiting traditional hand propelled gondola style boats to make the short trip across the lake and bring curious visitors over. Discover the legends that surround the lake and ring the church bell for good luck, although you will already feel fortunate enough to be there!
