We only had about 3 hours to see the park before driving into Zagreb so we wanted to see as much as we could. It was perfect. We had an incredible experience! We bought an entry into Entrance 1 and easily followed the path down to the Big Waterfall, which was so beautiful and grand. We then followed the water path to the Upper Lake where we took the boat down the lake which dropped us off after about a 30 minutes. Able to ferry across the lake and walk up to the 'train' or bus to drop us off to a walking path back to starting point. All transfers went smoothly with limited waiting times. The views were breathtaking over and over again. So incredible and made it back to the car in about 3 hours. Heartily recommend a visit to Plitvice National Park!

The park is amazing!! You can choose from which entrance (north or south) to start from. After reading on a website I saw that starting from the north is better because from there you see the waterfalls first (the lower part) and then you walk towards the upper part (with a bit more forest). During our talk with the extremely kind lady at the info desk it was explained that spring is perfect to visit the park because the animals and flowers are more abundant and there is more water falling because of the recent rains. Summer is not ideal because it's drier, fewer animals and flowers, and a lot more people. It was a cloudy day, I can't imagine how much more beautiful the park can get on a sunny day!!

We've reserved our tour basically last-minute. Our guide, Kristian, was there exactly at the booked time. It was the 3 of us walking along the paths, he was patient, knowledgeable, extremely friendly and more than happy to answer any of our questions, he's also good at taking pictures! He has shared quite a bit of insight into the history of the park that we wouldn't have otherwise known. All-in-all, we had a great time, and are more than glad that we've booked and got him as our guide. I recommend everyone to come and visit off-season as there are less tourists, everything's cheaper, and you might get a one-on-one guide as we did, which is really nice.

This is by far, the most beautiful and unique national park I have ever been to. The floating wooden bridge carries you through the park and helps you immerse yourself in its beauty. The cafes, boat rides and trains are a nice touch. You could easily spend a whole day here and find new niches to explore. Hands down, one of the best!

This is my second visit to Plitvice Lakes—they’re always so beautiful and captivating!! Unfortunately, only Trail F is open at this time of year. It’s a good idea to wear waterproof shoes with treaded soles, as there are many puddles due to the melting ice.

Plitvice Lakes National Park Is one of the most beautiful places I've ever been. The waterfalls are spectacular. We felt that the whole park was very well organised and the staff were super friendly and helpful. Especially on the entrances. I would suggest starting at gate one (north) for the best views.

Spend the day at Plitvice Lakes, entering through the North or South gate—each offering a unique path through the park’s lakes, trails, and waterfalls.

Choose a self-guided visit with included entry, a train ride, and an electric boat crossing, or opt for a guided tour from Split with round-trip AC transfers.

Take in stunning views from scenic lookout points and enjoy a peaceful boat ride across the park’s emerald-green waters.

We had a lovely time at the lakes , we entered number 1 entrance and so had the view of the waterfall straight away . I loved walking over the wooden walkways, it made it more exciting and more close to nature and the beautiful surroundings. I loved the stunnjng scenery and the volour of the water .There was snow on the upper level and so missed walking up there , however the snow was beautiful in the sunshine , my grown up children enjoyed making a snowman

The park is beautiful, the waterfalls are stunning—our kids were absolutely amazed by the sight—and the variety of the route, which includes a boat ride and a return trip by 4x4 bus, lets you "break up" the hike to recharge your batteries!!
