Croatia & Slovenia vacation idea
Croatia & Slovenia: Zagreb, Lake Bled & Dubrovnik
An 11-day escorted journey from Zagreb through Slovenia and Croatia, including Lake Bled, Ljubljana, Plitvice Lakes, Split and Dubrovnik.
Why This Trip Stands Out
This is a strong Adriatic addition because it gives you both Slovenia’s Alpine scenery and Croatia’s historic coastline in one trip. The route balances cities, national parks and the Adriatic without feeling like another generic Central Europe coach tour.
- Lake Bled and Ljubljana in Slovenia.
- Plitvice Lakes National Park and its turquoise waterfalls.
- Historic Pula, Trogir and Split along Croatia’s coast.
- Two nights in Dubrovnik with time to explore the walled city.
- A classic escorted format with guided sightseeing and free time built in.
Sample Itinerary
Days 1–3 | Zagreb & Lake Bled
Begin in Zagreb before crossing into Slovenia for Lake Bled, Alpine scenery and a locally hosted farm experience.
Days 4–6 | Ljubljana, Opatija & Plitvice Lakes
Explore Ljubljana, visit the Postojna caves, continue to Croatia’s coast and spend time among the lakes and waterfalls of Plitvice National Park.
Days 7–8 | Trogir & Split
Travel south to the Dalmatian coast for historic Trogir and Split, including the Roman-era heart of Diocletian’s Palace.
Days 9–11 | Dubrovnik
Finish in Dubrovnik with guided sightseeing, free time and views along one of the Adriatic’s most famous stretches of coastline.
