- Trakoscan Castle (Dvor Trakoscan) - Following a delightful drive through the stunning countryside, you will arrive at Trakoscan, the most renowned and well-preserved castle in Croatia.
Originally constructed in the late 13th or early 14th century as a small defensive fortress, the Trakošćan complex we see today is a 19th-century romanticist blend of architecture and nature. The castle was renovated in a neo-gothic style, and the surrounding landscape, including a lake, was designed after the English park model.
Visitors can admire a valuable collection of paintings, furniture, and weapons, and enjoy a stroll around the scenic lake that encircles the castle.
- Town Hall Varazdin - Often called “Little Vienna,” Varazdin is a city in Northern Croatia renowned for its well-preserved Baroque architecture.
Stroll along the cobbled streets to explore historical squares, churches, palaces, the charming town hall, and the city’s most significant cultural monument, the gothic-renaissance Old Town or Varazdin Castle, which houses a museum (closed on Mondays).
A guided walking tour of the city can also be arranged, led by a knowledgeable local guide.
After sightseeing, enjoy some leisure time with a coffee on the main square, or your guide can suggest one of the local restaurants for lunch.
