Varazdin Baroque Town and Trakoscan Castle - Small Group Day Trip from Zagreb

Meet a guide at your centrally-located hotel in Zagreb, or at Zrinjevac Park, then make the 54-mile (87-km) trip to Varazdin in a climate-controlled vehicle. As you travel to Varazdin, the guide will share an overview of the city’s fascinating history, with fun stories about Croatian life and culture.

Upon arrival, a local guide in Varazdin will join your group for a walking tour, including the Varazdin Cemetery, where gorgeous tombstones and quiet paths are overshadowed by tall, leafy trees. Follow back streets to architectural gems, and find some of the city's elegant villas—at one time, Varazdin was Croatia's wealthiest city.

Next, continue to Trakoscan Castle, 25 miles (40 km.) west of Varazdin, with a fairytale setting high on a hill. Walk the fortifications with views down to a forested valley, and get a glimpse of Croatia’s tumultuous past in the castle’s displays of weapons and armor. After exploring the castle, walk to the nearby lake, then meet back up with the driver/guide for the return trip to Zagreb.

Discover one of the most desirable Croatian cities to live in, a true baroque gem, Varazdin. Explore the city on a walking tour accompanied by a licensed local guide. Embrace the beauty of the streets rich with numerous palaces, villas, and one of the oldest city halls in Europe. Conclude your day visiting romantic Trakoscan Castle, where you can enjoy the surrounding nature and a picturesque lake. Small group for a great experience! (Maximum of 8 participants)
