With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Novi Vinodolski, 40 miles away, has to offer. Novi Vinodolski Beach, Frankopan Castle and Church of Saint Philip and Jacob alone make the drive out worthwhile. Don’t forget about Karlovac either! Just 40 miles away, Museum of Croatian War of Independence, Katzler Pavilion and Holy Trinity Church and Franciscan Monastery are non-negotiable stops here.
