    Driving south through Croatia's inland landscapes

    After leaving Zagreb, the drive moves through Croatia’s interior, passing forests, rivers, and open countryside. The scenery changes gradually over the course of the day, offering a quieter contrast to the coastal landscapes waiting in Split and making the long drive feel less repetitive.

    A self-guided stop at Plitvice

    The stop at Plitvice Lakes is designed as an independent time rather than a guided visit. Wooden walkways lead through lakes and waterfalls, allowing time to walk, take photos, or pause at viewpoints before returning to the vehicle. The visit breaks up the drive naturally without turning the day into a rushed park tour.

    Arrival in Split

    The journey wraps up in Split once the drive and time at Plitvice Lakes are complete, bringing travel and sightseeing together in a single day. The timing usually allows for an easy transition into the evening, whether that means checking in, heading out for dinner, or taking a first walk through the city without another long transfer ahead.

  • What to bring

    • Choose sturdy, supportive walking shoes, as visiting Plitvice Lakes includes walking on wooden boardwalks and uneven ground.

    • Wear clothing suited to the weather and consider bringing an extra layer, as temperatures in the park can be cooler than in urban areas.

    • Bring a camera or phone to photograph waterfalls, lakes, and natural scenery during the stop.

    • Pack sun protection such as sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat during warmer periods, particularly for outdoor paths.

    • Have cash or a payment card available for park tickets, meals, or other personal purchases, which are not included.

    What’s not allowed

    • Avoid bringing large luggage or oversized bags, as storage space in the vehicle is limited.
