With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Novi Vinodolski, 35 miles away, has to offer. Novi Vinodolski Beach, Frankopan Castle and Church of Saint Philip and Jacob alone make the drive out worthwhile. Located 35 miles away, Karlovac is another popular choice. If you swing by, don’t miss Museum of Croatian War of Independence, Katzler Pavilion and Holy Trinity Church and Franciscan Monastery.
