Tour Croatia’s Beautiful Coastline and Capital City and See Slovenia’s Bled Castle

This 11-day tour of Croatia and Slovenia follows the rocky Adriatic coast from Opatija to Croatia’s second-largest city, Split. You’ll then visit Dubrovnik, one of the Mediterranean’s most popular vacation spots. Afterward, head inland to the Croatian capital, Zagreb. Finally, you’ll visit the Slovenian cities of Ljubljana and Bled, where you’ll visit a famous Castle. The tour includes:

  • Round-trip airfare from New York
  • 2 nights of standard accommodations at the four-star Grand Hotel Adriatic in Opatija
  • 1 night of standard accommodations at the four-star Radisson Blu Resort in Split
  • 3 nights of standard accommodations at the four-star Lacroma Hotel in Dubrovnik

  • Services of English-speaking tour manager and local guides in Split, Dubrovnik, and Zagreb
  • Airline taxes and fuel surcharges


Day 1: Depart for Europe

You’ll spend the majority of the first day traveling from New York to Venice, Italy. The flight takes about nine hours.

Days 2–4: Opatija and Zadar

From there, you’ll board a motorcoach that will take you to Croatia in about three and a half hours. Your first stop in Croatia is Opatija; this centuries-old town overlooking Kvarner Gulf is a popular resort destination thanks to nearly year-round sunshine. Take a stroll along the beautiful Lungomare—Opatija’s seaside promenade—during a full day of leisure. Next, you’ll travel three hours south to Zadar, an ancient coastal city with a wealth of ruins. Medieval churches can be found throughout the city, and there’s a 3rd-century Roman forum. Be sure to see Zadar’s Sea Organ, an experimental instrument along the sea that plays music via the Adriatic’s waves.

You can also take an optional tour of the Istrian Peninsula ($63/person). You’ll visit Pula, a port city since the time of the Romans with ancient amphitheaters.

Days 5–7: Split and Dubrovnik

Just south of Zadar is Split. A sightseeing tour will introduce you to some of its iconic architecture, including Diocletian’s Palace—a UNESCO World Heritage Site that Lonely Planet calls “one of the most imposing Roman ruins in existence.” The marble palace and former fortress dazzles with Egyptian sphinxes and towering columns. Afterward, you can relax in the waterfront cafés and shop in the bustling local markets.

The next destination, Dubrovnik, is nestled in the foothills of Mount Srd, along the shores of the Adriatic Sea. A walking tour will take you to the Sponza Palace, the St. Lawrence Fortress, and Dubrovnik’s other historic landmarks. In the city, the Franciscan Monastery houses 14th-century artifacts and one of the world’s oldest pharmacies. You’ll have a full day of leisure to browse this historic city, as well as the option to take a full-day Montenegro tour and cross another country off your list ($63–$64/person).

Days 8–10: Zagreb, Bled Castle, and Ljubljana

Travel through green forests and fields to reach Croatia’s capital and largest city, Zagreb, where you’ll take a walking tour to explore the Presidential Palace and Stone Gate in the city’s medieval center. After checking out Zagreb’s sights in your free time, you’ll head off for the final part of the tour, which takes place in Slovenia.

The highlight of this leg of the journey is Bled Castle. The medieval castle—possibly Slovenia’s oldest—rises from a nearly 500-foot cliff overlooking the icy waters of Lake Bled. In the Slovenian capital of Ljubljana, you’ll browse a vibrant open-air market. Afterward, you’ll celebrate your last night at a special farewell dinner.

Day 11: Return to the United States

On the last day, you’ll be transported from Bled to Venice, where you’ll board your flight back to New York.
