    It seems incredible that despite how we mistreat nature, there are still such virgin and beautiful places left. Christian, the guide, infected us with his passion for his town and was always attentive to the Spanish speakers, even though there were only 3 of us and the rest were English. As a recommendation: do not trust the meeting point from Civitatis and check the email that the company sends beforehand.

Plitvice Lakes Tours & Activities: Explore Croatia's Gem

Plitvice Lakes is a breathtaking natural wonder located in the heart of Croatia. Known for its cascading turquoise lakes and lush forests, this stunning national park attracts nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Wooden walkways meander through the landscape, offering visitors endlessly picturesque views of waterfalls, crystal-clear waters, and diverse wildlife.

A Glimpse Into the Past

The area around the lakes has been inhabited since prehistoric times, with ancient tribes and later Romans drawn to its beauty. Plitvice Lakes National Park itself was established in 1949, making it the oldest national park in Southeast Europe. In 1979, it was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its unique geological and ecological value.

Best Time to Visit

Every season brings a different charm to the park. Spring and summer offer vibrant green landscapes and powerful waterfalls, while autumn dazzles with warm shades of red and gold. In winter, when snow covers the paths and lakes freeze, the park transforms into a magical winter wonderland. Each season offers its own unique beauty, so there's not really a bad time to go.

Are Tickets Needed for Entry?

Yes, you need to purchase an entrance ticket to access the national park. It’s recommended to buy tickets in advance, especially during the high season, as visitor numbers are limited to protect the natural environment.

Can I Swim in the Lakes?

Swimming is strictly prohibited to preserve the purity and delicate balance of the ecosystem. You can enjoy the lakes from the trails and viewpoints, but getting into the water is not allowed.
