Karlovac

Karlovac is located approximately 50 miles (80 kilometers) from Zagreb County, the capital of Croatia.

Croatia is wonderfully endowed with sights and attractions, from tourist hotspots to lesser known nooks and crannies. Ogulin and Samobor are just two of the many other places worth checking out while you're in Croatia.

When you are ready to venture further afield why not visit the nearest center. Zagreb is approximately 30 miles (48 kilometers) away and features visitor attractions such as Park Maksimir, Mestrovic Pavilion and Saint Barbara's Church. University of Zagreb, Zagreb TV Tower and Marsala Tita Square are other good places to visit.

To get a real sense of the present, you need to revisit the past. Croatia's fine old historic bridges are a marvellous place to start. Croatia is home to some significant monasteries and other sites of spiritual importance, perfect places to get a feel for Karlovac's soul.

If the weather is good during your stay, get out and enjoy the water activities. Fishing and boating are both popular here. Make sure you throw in a pair of walking shoes and sign up for one of the fascinating city walking tours, cycling tours and winery tours.

When it is time to leave Karlovac, you'll be sure to bid this place a fond "Zbogom" But be comforted by the fact that you'll be leaving with special memories and momentos that are yours to keep forever.
