After visiting Plitvice Lakes National Park, I was truly amazed by its natural beauty. The turquoise lakes, cascading waterfalls, and lush greenery felt like something out of a dream. We followed Trail C, which included scenic walks and a peaceful boat ride across Lake Kozjak. The wooden boardwalks brought us close to the water, and although some areas were a bit slippery, the paths were well-maintained. Despite the park’s popularity, it never felt too crowded, and everything was clean and well-organized. The changing colors of the lakes were mesmerizing, and we even spotted some wildlife, including fish and birds. It was a peaceful and refreshing experience — definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Croatia. I’d love to return, especially in autumn for a different perspective.

What a beautiful park and well organized and laid out. We were there when there was an accident with the train and could not take the little train back to Entrance 1. Within a very short time there were at crucial points friendly proactive people in recognizable green shirts for explanation and information about route. Impressively well organized! There were some angry reactions (incomprehensible, there was an accident!) and the staff remained friendly and clear communication. Tickets by time block works great for spreading out. It was handled flexibly, we got there 7:45 and could go in right away. For us 4km bonus walk 🙃 Hopefully ended well with everyone on the train!

The lady at the information desk was very friendly and helpful. The park was beautiful and super clean. The restrooms, on the other hand, stank and were just primitive for such a large park. This could and should be different for so many visitors. We also had to wait a long time for the boat. The line was very long. Waiting in the bright sun is no fun. The little train (bus) back to 1 km from the exit was hot and and too little open air with so many people in it. It was closed with windows, which I expected to be open, just like the boat. Well having said that we enjoyed the scenery. If you are in Croatia don't miss it. We had to drive almost 2 hours, but it was worth it. Highly recommended

    It was lovely, but the only issue was that there were way too many people. You had to wait in a queue for a picture in every spot. Apart from that, the park is really nice – there are great shaded areas and benches to rest. Just bring your own sandwiches because the food is very expensive.

    Plitvicky lakes is really beautiful place, but you should be ready for a really long walking sometimes high to the hill. Chose the shortest route if you physically not ready. And don't drink much water, there are just few toilets on such a big territory 😜

    Croatia is a wonderful country, known for its rich history and breathtaking nature. One of the most impressive places I’ve had the chance to visit is Plitvice Lakes National Park. This natural wonder is truly enchanting: in the crystal-clear lakes, fish swim peacefully, and resting boats can be seen on the bottom through the transparent water. Surrounding everything are magnificent waterfalls, lush green tunnels of vegetation, and rock formations, all blending into one harmonious landscape. Unforgettable experiences include a boat ride across the lake and a scenic train tour, allowing visitors to comfortably enjoy the park’s beauty. Everything is thoughtfully organized: each stop offers picnic areas, and there are plenty of places to grab a coffee or a light snack. Along the paths, you’ll find souvenir shops – perfect for picking up gifts for your loved ones. Navigating the park is easy, with clearly marked maps, trail routes, rest points, and boat and train lines. If you’re visiting Croatia, be sure to dedicate a day to this natural marvel – Plitvice Lakes National Park. It’s a place you’ll remember for a long time.

    It was a very pleasant experience, starting from purchasing the tickets online, which went very smoothly, to the visual experience on site. The fact that we purchased the tickets online saved us from a queue of about 20 people. The clarity and color of the water will remain in my mind for a long time.
