Plitvice Lakes National Park

This is one of the most spectacular areas we’ve ever seen. Waterfalls and bright blue pools spill into each other as you walk along boardwalks, hike, and cruise around the lake to take in all the sites. The valley has 16 lakes in total with waterfalls galore. To get the full Plitvice experience budget 4 hours. This a crowded place, so make sure you go early or start late (after 15:00). Make sure you make it to the upper lakes (many tour bus groups skip this). The waterfalls are unparalleled up here! Be prepared to take thousands of pictures.

Hours:

  • Summer – Daily, 07:00-20:00
  • Spring/Fall – Daily, 08:00-18:00
  • Winter – Daily – 08:00-16:00

*Be mindful of the last boat/shuttle back! Do not miss it!
