Description

Varazdin is one of the oldest and most beautiful cities in Croatia, a baroque city known for its music and flowers. Visit the old town's beautiful fort, which dates from the 12th century. It has survived through Croatia's turbulent history and today it is a part of the city museum of Varazdin. See Varazdin cemetery, created by the visionary Herman Haller - not only a place for the dead, but also an architectural jewel. Trakoscan castle dates from the 16th century and has been renovated in the neo-Gothic style. The castle is a museum with a gallery, collection of weapons and antique furniture. Enjoy your time in the castle and explore the surrounding park and lake. You can take a boat ride around the lake if you wish. Veliki Tabor was built during the 15th and 16th centuries and is one of the best-preserved medieval fortified cities in continental Croatia. Its most famous owners were the Counts of Celje and Ratkajevi. Visiting the castle, you will have a chance to explore the museum and hear many legends connected to the castle's owners and people from nearby places.
