Immerse yourself in cultural wealth
Bring your itinerary; world-class culture is on us! Central Croatia is like a fairytale; like a real fairytale with castles and beautiful stories about its unique history. Today, remains and renewed castles hide legends and stories about the country's rich past.
Trakoscan Castle, a 13th-century gem on a hill surrounded by forest and a lake, is ideal for romantics. Veliki Tabor tells the tragic tale of Veronika of Desenice, a beauty who lost her life for love. Near Zagreb, atop Medvednica, stands Medvedgrad Fortress, home to the legend of the Black Queen, Barbara of Cilli, who turned into a snake after trying to deceive the devil.
Mediterranean diet as an intangible cultural heritage element on the UNESCO list

Fresh fish from the sea or oysters harvested before your eyes are more than just a meal—they're a feast for the senses. Zadar is a paradise of stunning sunsets, vast sandy beaches, authentic cuisine, and ancient history.
