This option is for the ones that have limited time.

Day 1  Zagreb – airport pick up & city tour

The first day is dedicated to Zagreb, the Croatian capital. After our driver picks you up at the airport you can get some rest and then do the walking tour of the city. Zagreb is known as a central European city with a Mediterranean soul.

The coffee drinking culture on open terraces is really typical for Zagreb. You will visit all the most popular spots like the Main ban Jelačić square, Cathedral, Dolac Market, Stone gate, Sta Mark’s church, Zagreb funicular and Zrinjevac park.
