Trakošćan Castle, Vinica and Varaždin Old Town
The tour starts from where you stay in Zagreb, or anywhere else in Northern or Central Croatia. We first go to Trakošćan Castle, the most representative castle in Croatia, set by a lake in the beautiful and hilly Zagorje region. It belonged to the noble Drašković family. The castle itself dates from the 14th century, and it was renovated in the 19th century in one of the first renovation projects of such calibre in these regions. After that, we go to Vinica Castle, built in the 19th century by the Bombelles family. Surrounding the castle is Arboretum Opeka. The castle is now a half-ruin, but the entire place is enchanting. We then visit the town of Varaždin, where we will see its gorgeous historic center, with buildings dating back to the 17th and 18th centuries. We will pass by the iconic Castle Erdody in the city center. The town is a truly special place that evokes wonder about the olden days and soon relaxes you with its pace. We end this tour where we started in Zagreb.
