If you have a little extra time and you’re willing to travel 20 miles, take a look at Varazdin. This vibrant destination offers up a world of things to see and do. Town Hall, Croatian National Theatre and Patacic-Puttar Palace alone make the drive out worth it. The locals will also probably point you toward Zagreb, 30 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, make sure it’s Jarun. (But we’d also highly recommend Zagreb Zoo and Arena Zagreb.)
