Day 1 Arrive Split
Arrive in Split at any time.
Day 2 Trogir/Sibenik (B)
Travelling north along the coast, visit the charming town of Trogir, whose UNESCO world-heritage status is clearly justified in its profusion of Renaissance and Romanesque architecture.
Day 3 Plitvice Lakes National Park (B)
Travel inland, over the mountains to the spectacular Plitvice Lakes National Park. Spend the day exploring by boat and by foot the many walkways and colourful lakes. If you're lucky, you'll encounter some diverse and rare fauna such as the European brown bear, eagle owl and wild cat.
Day 4-5 Zagreb (2B)
Travel further inland to the bustling Croatian capital, Zagreb. Take a walk with our local guide to discover some of the city´s most interesting sights.
Day 6-7 Sarajevo (2B)
Head across the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina and the vibrant capital, Sarajevo. This city is renowned for its multi-cultural character and religious diversity, with large populations of Jews, Muslims, Catholics and Orthodox Christians co-existing here for centuries. Soak up some of this atmosphere with an included city tour, before taking some time to explore on your own.
Day 8 Mostar/Dubrovnik (B)
Travel through spectacular mountain scenery to arrive at the beautiful town of Mostar, not far from the Bosnian-Croatian border. Stop to explore the pretty Turkish Quarter, the famous Stari Most (Old Bridge), destroyed by shelling in 1994 and rebuilt with UNESCO funding in 2000 as a symbol of hope for the region. In the afternoon, cross the border back into Croatia, heading towards the city that Byron declared to be “the Pearl of the Adriatic”, Dubrovnik.
Day 9 Dubrovnik (B)
Spend the day exploring Dubrovnik´s Stari Grad, or Old Town, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Refresh yourself with a swim in the sea or just be content to let this city cast its enchanting spell over you as you explore her streets, monuments and many bars and cafes.
