Highlights

Zagreb: Walk with your Local Specialist from the 19th-century parks and facades of the Lower Town towards the older streets around the main square. Along the way, you’ll see key buildings such as the Art Pavilion and the Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts, setting out the city’s main landmarks.

Zagreb: Ride Zagreb’s funicular, in operation since 1890 and often cited as one of the world’s shortest public-transport funiculars. The 66 m (217 ft) line links Ilica Street with the Upper Town in around a minute, giving an immediate sense of the change from the commercial Lower Town to the old fortified ridge.

Postojna Cave: Explore Postojna Cave, a karst system with more than 20 kilometres of surveyed passages and one of the first caves in Europe to introduce an underground railway in the 19th century. Inside, discover the cave’s role in karst research and spot endemic species such as the proteus, or “olm”, that live in these underground waters.

Plitvice Lakes National Park: Join a Local Specialist to explore Plitviče Lakes National Park and learn how ongoing studies monitor and protect its fragile lake and forest habitats. Hear about habitat restoration, low-impact visitor practices and work to safeguard local wildlife, as staff share village traditions and their own stories of living beside the park.

Trogir: Join an orientation of Trogir, a UNESCO-listed island town where narrow stone lanes lead to St. Lawrence’s Cathedral and the 15th-century Cipiko Palace, setting out the mix of Romanesque and Venetian detail that defines this small Adriatic harbour.  

Hvar: Cross the central Dalmatian channels with clear views of neighbouring islands and the Pelješac Peninsula.

Korčula: Follow your Local Specialist through the walled Old Town, visit St. Mark’s Cathedral and cross the main square. You’ll pass the Town Museum, Bishop’s Palace and Town Hall, seeing how medieval fortifications and later Venetian details fit together on this small peninsula.

Ston: Board a private boat to cross the bay towards Mali Ston, with clear views of the Pelješac shoreline and its vineyards. Sip a glass of traditional brandy and see how small boats, farms and villages are linked by this sheltered stretch of water.

Dubrovnik: Walk the limestone Stradun with a Local Specialist, stopping at Onofrio’s Fountain and St. Blaise’s Church. You’ll visit the cathedral and Franciscan Monastery and see how the compact, UNESCO-listed Old Town sits within its defensive walls beside the harbour.

Dubrovnik: Sail across the bay to see the walled city, fortresses and coastline from the water. As the light changes, you’ll have time on deck for photos and a last look back at Dubrovnik before returning to shore for dinner.

Itinerary

Travel through Croatia in a Small Group on a journey that combines historic cities, island stays and some of the Adriatic’s most distinctive landscapes. Start in Zagreb’s parks and funicular-linked Upper Town before stepping underground at Slovenia’s Postojna Cave, into the Roman arena at Pula and along the lakes and boardwalks of Plitvice. Follow the coast through Zadar and Trogir to Split’s Diocletian’s Palace, then slow the pace with stays on Hvar and Korčula, a shellfish tasting in Mali Ston and time inside Dubrovnik’s walled Old Town.

day 1Welcome to Zagreb
