 Destination Highlights

 

   
 

 Zagreb & Dubrovnik

 

 

 

Zagreb

Boosting a rich cultural heritage that dates back to medieval days, Zagreb remains delightfully alluring as both a historic gem and modern-day economic hub. Its ancient cobble stone streets, majestic ruins, landscaped promenades and stately architecture speak volumes about a past defined by the glories of the Roman empire, centuries of the Venetian rule and imprints of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

Numerous cultural events, a broad range of goods and services, the city’s unique atmosphere will captivate you, too. Yes, its modern city center pulses with innovation and promise, offering world-renowned arts, concert halls, theatres and vibrant economic enterprises that herald a bright future.

Dubrovnik

Its been called a classic medieval heart-stopper, with ancient fairy tales and orange-tiled roofs draped over the high-cliffed Adriatic Coastline. A World Heritage Site, Dubrovnik is filled with fountains, palaces and cathedrals, rich in history and culture dating back to the 7th century.

A playground for those who desire the unspoiled treasures of the Mediterranean landscape, Dubrovnik is steeped in sunshine and bathed in mild Mediterranean breezes, a lush region of coves, forested islands and idyllic beaches.

The ideal destination for today’s honeymooners and tomorrow’s vacation, Dubrovnik is home to distinctive hotels, villas superbly located close to key historic and cultural sights, and just steps away from the beautiful Dalmatian coast. Indulge in a delectable choice of gourmet restaurants and intimate cafes which delight the most discriminating palates; raise a toast in cozy pubs and taverns, or enjoy a cup of coffee in the town’s charming squares.

This year, make sun-kissed Dubrovnik your destination of choice, and experience treasured memories that will last a lifetime.

Itinerary

       

 Day 1: USA / Venice

   

 

 

 

Transfer to hotel upon arrival.

 

Overnight in Venice.

 

 

 Day 2: Venice

   

 

 

 

The magnificent “Queen of the Adriatic,” Venice occupies 117 islands in the azure waters of the Adriatic. This lagoon city is a watery maze of grand canals, 177 smaller canals, over 450 bridges and the world’s most famous sandbar, the Lido. Though thoroughly walkable, getting around Venice is a mesmerizing experience aboard the city’s variety of public transport boats, the vaporetti, motoscafi and the more expensive gondola ride, suggested more for a romantic interlude.

Venice’s enticing, exotic beauty—typified by the Byzantine architecture, enormous stained glass windows rising along the Grand Canal and Venetian Carnival masks with their wry, knowing smiles—attest to the city’s historic role as a great Eastern trader. Venice’s legendary maritime heroes, such as Marco Polo, plied the Levantine trading routes. The entire Mediterranean flowed through the Venetian Republic, adorning the city in the splendors that illuminate it today. A walk through Saint Mark’s Square provides a wealth of sights from the Doge’s Palace and the Bridge of Sighs to the Campanile and St. Mark’s Cathedral.

 

Overnight in Venice.

 

Meals: Breakfast.

 

 

 Day 3: Venice / Bled / Zagreb

   

 

 

 

We recommend to visitors, who are interested in learning something more about Bled, to take a sightseeing tour around this resort. Bled was discovered by the tourists in the middle of the 19th century, after a Swiss doctor, Mr. Arnold Rikli, had built a climactic health centre there.

Bled is often mentioned as the pearl of the Alpine region. It is unique with its emerald-green lake, a church on the island in the middle of the lake and a medieval castle from the 11th century, perched on a cliff above the lake.

After a bus ride around the lake a guided tour of Bled castle will start. Then you will be taken by Bled's typical "pletna" boat to the island.

 Day 4: Zagreb

   

 

 

 

We invite you to experience the past and the present of Zagreb by passing through the streets of the Lower and Upper Town, by visiting the famous arcades and sculptures of Mirogoj Park Cemetery, by entering inside the Zagreb Cathedral or by taking in the everyday lively atmosphere of Dolac Market. You will be accompanied by celebrated personalities from Zagreb's past – August Senoa, a novelist, and Marija Juric Zagorka, a novelist and the first Croatian lady-journalist.

Our walk through the streets of the Upper Town will take us to St. Mark's Church, a symbol of Zagreb, to the best view of Zagreb from under the Lotrscak Tower and to the Stone Gate where we light a candle.
Only in Zagreb the noon is announced by the cannon firing from the Lotrscak Tower and city parks are arranged in the form of a horse shoe.
Zagreb has Maksimir, the oldest public cultivated park in Europe and Archaeological Museum is proud to present the mummy with the longest Etruscan epitaph.

The journey through Zagreb's heritage and tradition will be enriched by the unique taste of pepper biscuits and a visit to the bidermayer interior of the old Upper Town Zagreb Café.

Today it still continues to rival Venice with its beauty and charming atmosphere. It would be really hard to single out any of the most fascinating pieces of architecture.
