Modéré

Mostly easy to moderate walking on cobbles and old-town hills, about 5 to 10 km on city days. Plitvice is the longest walk, about 8 km on boardwalks and gravel paths with some steps, cut short by the park boat and panoramic train. Two road days of about 6 hours. Every climb (the Jajce fortress, Petrovaradin's tunnels, the Fisherman's Bastion towers) has a sit-out.

Arrive in Zagreb

Zagreb Airport to your hotel in central Zagreb

Fly into Zagreb Airport (ZAG), about 17 km south-east of the city. A driver meets you in the arrivals hall whatever time you land and takes you to your hotel in the Lower Town, about half an hour away.

Après-midi

The afternoon is yours: Zagreb is compact and easy to walk, and the blue trams cover the rest. At 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide meets the group for a short briefing on the route ahead, the four countries, the borders and how the long road days are paced. Then we walk together through the Green Horseshoe, the chain of parks and squares the city laid out in the late 19th century, from King Tomislav Square in front of the main railway station up to Ban Jelačić Square.

Soir

Dinner tonight is a welcome dinner at a local restaurant: try štrukli, baked dough with fresh cheese, and a glass of Croatian wine.

Faune et météo : May and June bring the fullest waterfalls at Plitvice and Jajce and mild city days. July and August are hot inland, often over 35°C in Sarajevo, Belgrade and Budapest, and Plitvice is at its busiest, so we start early in the cities and enter the park in the afternoon. September and early October are the best balance of warm days and thinner crowds; late October can be cool and wet.

Questions

What does the price include?

Eleven nights in central hotels, 11 breakfasts, 8 sit-down lunches and 4 dinners, airport transfers in Zagreb and Budapest, our own vehicle and driver across all three borders, the fast trains to Novi Sad and Subotica, your See Sight Tours guide throughout, local guides in six places, and every visit in the day plan, from the Plitvice ticket to the Hungarian Parliament tour.

How big is the group?

The small-group trip runs with 7 to 12 guests, never merged with another group, so everyone fits in one vehicle, can hear the guide in a crowded bazaar and sits at one table at lunch.

Who leads the trip?

A See Sight Tours guide travels with the group for all 12 days, across all four countries. Licensed local guides join for the walks in Zagreb, Sarajevo, Belgrade, Novi Sad, Subotica and Budapest, including a Sarajevo guide who lived through the siege years in the city.

How long are the drives?

Two days are long: Plitvice to Sarajevo and Sarajevo to Belgrade are each about six hours of driving, because no practical train runs either way. Each is broken by a riverside stop and a long sit-down lunch with a walk. The other drives are under three hours, and fast trains cover Novi Sad and Subotica.

How fit do I need to be?

Moderate. You walk about 5 to 10 km on city days, on cobbles and some hills, and about 8 km at Plitvice on boardwalks and gravel, shortened by the park boat and train. Fortress climbs in Jajce and Novi Sad have an easier alternative, and you can sit any part out.

I am travelling solo. What does a room of my own cost?

A room of your own is from CAD 800 more, a fixed supplement shown before you book, not added at checkout. If you would rather share, ask for a roommate match when you request to book, and we tell you whether another solo traveller of the same gender is on your departure.

When is the best time to go?

May to October. May and June bring the fullest waterfalls at Plitvice and Jajce; July and August are hot inland, often over 35°C, so we start city days early and enter Plitvice in the afternoon. September and early October are the best balance of warm days and thinner crowds.

Do I need a visa, and how do the borders work?

Canadian, US, UK and EU passport holders need no visa for short stays in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia or Hungary. We cross three borders by road with our own vehicle. Croatia and Hungary are in the Schengen area, so the EU's Entry/Exit System applies, and ETIAS is due to start; we confirm what you need when you book.

Why does the trip not include Mostar or the coast?

This trip follows the inland capitals from Zagreb to Budapest. Mostar, Durmitor and Kotor are on our Balkans trip from Dubrovnik, and Split, Hvar and Dubrovnik on our Croatia trip. Both share only one city with this one, so they combine well if you want a longer journey.

Can we travel privately or on our own dates?

Yes. Besides the small group, the trip comes as a private trip for your party only, on a date you choose, with your own guide and vehicle. If you would rather travel independently on your own dates, ask us from the dates section and we quote the same hotels, trains, drivers and local guides.

How does booking work?

Prices are per person sharing a room, with taxes, and differ by style. The small group starts from CAD 4,705 and the private trip from CAD 8,470. Send your preferred dates as an enquiry. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request.
