Zagreb in 2 days — FAQ

Is 2 days enough for Zagreb?
Two days covers the city — the Upper Town, markets and a food tour — on day one, and the spectacular Plitvice Lakes on day two, a great balance of the capital and Croatia’s nature.
What should I not miss in 2 days in Zagreb?
The Upper Town and St Mark’s Church, the Dolac market and štrukli, a history or tunnels tour, and the turquoise Plitvice Lakes.
Are the Plitvice Lakes worth it from Zagreb?
Absolutely — the turquoise lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice are among Europe’s most beautiful natural sights, well worth the 2 to 2.5-hour day trip from Zagreb.
