With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Zagreb, 20 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area beginning with Jarun, Zagreb Zoo and Arena Zagreb. Situated 30 miles away, Varazdin is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Town Hall, Croatian National Theatre and Patacic-Puttar Palace.
