Included Activities
Meet Your CEO and Group Duration : 1.0 hr, Orientation With CEO Duration : 0.5 hr - 1.0 hr, Connect With New Friends
Optional Activities
Cathedral of the Assumption The Gothic Zagreb Cathedral is a must see for those who love architecture. Someone is definitely watching out for this holy site, it’s been damaged by invaders and earthquakes and somehow is still standing (using numerous repairs of course). Sitting atop a tall column is a golden statue or Mary, surrounded at the base by four angels. The exterior is covered in sculptures and reliefs while the inside has large pillars, stained glass windows, and paintings. , St Mark's Church Not far from St Mark’s Square in Zagreb, the Church of St Mark has some unique architecture features compared to most Gothic style churches. The roof is tiled in a pattern of colours, patterns, and the coat of arms of the city. The church interior is usually closed off to visitors, but take a stroll by to take a few photos of the exterior. , Museum of Contemporary Art Spend an hour or two wandering through the exhibits at this large, modern museum. The exterior was designed by the contemporary architect Igor Franić who submitted the unique design for the building to a competition held by the museum. The roomy interior isthe perfect place to escape crowds and take some time to reflect on the exhibits. When you’re ready to head back into the city try taking the slide exit! , Museum of Broken Relationships Whether you’ve just had a nasty breakup or are blissfully in love you can’t miss this unique museum. Memorabilia and stories from the ones that got away or were run away from are paired with individual’s stories. From hilarious to heartfelt the vibe of the mementos in the museum are worth checking out. Bring some tissues and stop at the museum café afterwards to recover with a glass of mulled wine and traditional pepper cookies. , Croatian Museum of Naive Art Stop by this small museum to see some of the work of Croatia’s Naïve artists as well as pieces from foreign artists. This style of painting is known for its simplistic, almost child-like rendering of forms and originated during the 18th century. While it’s believed that many artists who practice this style never trained as artists, this is rarely true. Vivid colours and interesting perspectives line the walls of this museum, a must see for art and art history buffs.

Loved the tour overall, got to see some beautiful sights in Croatia, notably Plitvice National Parks. Bosnia was far better that I expected, some beautiful sceneries. The accommodation in Konjic was superb, with the nicest hosts you'll ever meet. All was made better by having Leon as our tour leader, very knowledgeable, very fun and good to have a native Balkan showing us his part of the world.
