With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to experience all that Varazdin, 35 miles away, has to offer. Town Hall, Croatian National Theatre and Patacic-Puttar Palace alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t forget about Zagreb either! Just 45 miles away, Jarun, Zagreb Zoo and Arena Zagreb are non-negotiable stops here.
