• Vienna - 07:30 AM – Hotel Pickup in Vienna

Your day starts with a convenient pickup directly from your hotel or apartment in Vienna.

Please be punctual in the lobby. Your driver will assist with any luggage and ensure your comfort in the air-conditioned van.

• Graz - The journey from Vienna to Zagreb takes approximately 4.5 to 5 hours, depending on traffic and border conditions. For your comfort and safety, a short coffee/restroom break is included about halfway through — typically after 2.5 hours of driving, near Graz or just before the Slovenian border.
• Zagreb - After our brief stop in or near Graz, we continue south towards Zagreb, the capital of Croatia — crossing two international borders along the way (Austria → Slovenia → Croatia).

What to Expect: Border Control: A valid passport or EU ID is required. Both Slovenia and Croatia are EU members.

Drive Time: Approximately 2.5 hours from Graz to Zagreb, depending on border wait times and traffic around Maribor.

Scenery: This route is picturesque — featuring forests, vineyards, and rolling hills — and we travel on well-maintained highways almost the entire way.

• Zagreb - Because Google Maps can’t tell you stories.

Upon arrival in Zagreb, you won’t just be left with a map and a “good luck.” A local guide will welcome you, sharing the city’s history, secrets, and tips to avoid tourist traps.

What You’ll See: St. Mark’s Church – Known for its uniquely tiled roof, more often photographed than explained.

Stone Gate – A city gate that also serves as a shrine.

Lotrščak Tower – Discover why a cannon is fired every day at noon.

Tkalčićeva Street – Enjoy cafés, people-watching, and stories not found in any brochure.

Ban Jelačić Square – The main plaza and vibrant heart of Zagreb.

All in a relaxed 1.5-hour walk, flat and easy, with plenty of photo opportunities.

• Zagreb - After completing the guided tour, you’ll know the saints, the cannons, and the kings. Now, you have 1.5 hours to explore Zagreb on your own — and yes, that’s enough time to fall in love with it.
• Vienna - Let’s be honest: it’s a long journey back.

Once your Zadar gelato has melted and your camera is filled with images of tiled roofs and cannon towers, it’s time for the long drive home.
