Itinerary

ITINERARY CHANGES Our itineraries are updated regularly throughout the year based on customer feedback and to reflect the current situation in each destination. The information included in this Essential Trip Information may therefore differ from when you first booked your trip. It's important that you review this information prior to travel so that you have the latest updates. Due to weather, local conditions, transport schedules, public holidays, political unrest or other factors, further changes may be necessary to your itinerary once in-country. Your group leader or local representative will keep you up to date with any such changes once your trip is underway and has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if deemed necessary due to safety concerns. , OPTIONAL ACTIVITIES A selection of optional activities that have been popular with past travellers are listed in the day-to-day itinerary. This isn't an exhaustive list and should be used as a guide only for some of what might be available. Prices are approximate, are for entrance fees only, and don’t include transport to and from the sites or local guides unless indicated. All activities are subject to availability, and maybe on a join-in basis. It may not be possible to do all the activities listed in the time available at each destination, so some pre-planning for what you are most interested in is advised. When it's recommended that travellers pre-book these activities, look for a note in the Special Information section of the day-to-day itinerary. For most, they can either be organised independently on the day, or let your group leader or local representative know you are interested at the Welcome Meeting and they can assist. Where activities are considered medium or high risk, we work with operators whose safety and credentials we have sighted and assessed. Although it is possible that you may find the same activity cheaper with another operator on the ground, we cannot vouch for the safety or quality of that operator. Medium and high-risk activities not listed above have not been assessed by us and as such our staff and group leader or local representative are unable to assist you with organising these activities. Activities that contravene our Responsible Travel policies are also not listed. Please remember that the decision to partake in any activity not listed is at your own discretion and risk., MUSEUM VISITS & OPENING TIMES Many sites, attractions and museums are closed on Mondays (and sometimes Tuesdays). We recommend checking the opening times of anywhere you're interested to visit and making reservations where required/possible.

Day 1 - Dubrovnik
Dobro dosli! Welcome to Croatia. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm tonight in Dubrovnik – the undisputed jewel of the Dalmatian Coast. With the sparkling water of the Adriatic in the background, this city is full of character and can be easily covered on foot. If you arrive early, maybe visit the Church of St Blaise, take a cable car to Mount Srd or discover Game of Thrones filming locations. After your meeting, maybe find a local restaurant for dinner and get to know your fellow travellers.
Day 2 - Dubrovnik
Today, explore Dubrovnik to your heart’s content. Maybe visit Big Onofrio’s Fountain, built by architect Onofrio della Cava in the 15th century to supply water to the city. Or check out the Franciscan Monastery – home to one of the world’s oldest continuously functioning pharmacy, founded in the 13th century. You could take a daytrip to the Elafiti Islands – a small archipelago northwest of Dubrovnik – exploring churches along the way. It’s a gorgeous place to swim or find a coastal restaurant for a long lunch. After a day spent however you like, maybe kick back on Banje Beach as the sun goes down or find a good spot for dinner with a sunset view.
Day 3 - Split
This morning, travel up the coast to Split. If Dubrovnik is considered the heart of Dalmatia, Split is certainly the soul. On a small peninsula on the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea, it’s the second-largest city in Croatia. Today is a long travel day, so it’s a good idea to get stuck into your book or favourite podcasts. When you arrive, the afternoon is free for you to explore Split at your own pace. Maybe wander through the historic streets, see the UNESCO World Heritage – listed Diocletian’s Palace or join a tour with a local guide. Dinner by the sea is recommended, whether you’re after fresh seafood or you just want to catch the deep colours of the sunset.
Day 4 - Split
Today is a free day in Split. At the heart of its atmospheric Old Town is a fascinating city-within-a-city – the remains of a third-century palace built for Roman Emperor Diocletian. These ancient walls now house a vibrant mix of shops, cafes, restaurants and houses. Maybe step back in time as you stroll the sprawling maze of passageways and courtyards – you’ll also find a 16th-century synagogue and a courtyard often filled with music. This afternoon, why not sample Croatia’s fine coffee culture with a frothy kava from a cafe on the Riva waterfront promenade or climb the Cathedral of Saint Domnius for panoramic views over the city. The rest of the night is free for you to explore Split at your own pace.
Day 5 - Split to Plitvice Lakes National Park to Zagreb
Visit one of Croatia’s most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage sites – Plitvice Lakes National Park. You’ll have free time to explore on your own, or you can follow your leader to see the best spots – all trails in the national park are well marked, so it’s difficult to get lost! Walk through the wooded hills, surrounding turquoise lakes and waterfalls. As you go, you may glimpse local wildlife living in the primeval forest vegetation of beech trees, fir spruce and white pine. Later, drive to Croatia’s capital of Zagreb, where you’ll stay tonight.
Day 6 - Zagreb
This morning, take an orientation walk around Zagreb with your leader. Then, the rest of the day is free – maybe check out the gothic Zagreb Cathedral, with its twin spires that dominate the city’s skyline, or visit one of the excellent museums, like the quirky Museum of Broken Relationships. Perhaps your appetite will lead you to the Dolac Market – the main market in the city – and a great spot to pick up seasonal fruits, vegetables, preserves, olive oil, cheese and meats. Stop by one of the bakeries for a taste of cevapcici (grilled minced meat) – a traditional market snack.
Day 7 - Ljubljana
Travel by train this morning across the Slovenian border to the cosmopolitan capital of Ljubljana (pronounced ‘Lyub-Li-Yana'). When you arrive, check into your accommodation before heading out on a short orientation walk with your leader. The rest of the day is then free for you to delve deeper into this beautiful city. Located in the centre of Slovenia, Ljubljana is a city full of style and sophistication, history, monuments, churches, museums and great restaurants. Maybe wander around the old city centre, renowned for its unique architectural appearance. You might like to visit the Ljubljana Castle, the Town Hall or the Dragon Bridge, or stop at the central Preseren Square, dedicated to the Slovenian romantic poet France Preseren.
Day 8 - Ljubljana
Take a daytrip to beautiful Bled today, ranked as one of the most scenic alpine resorts in Europe, and spend the hours as you wish. Bled’s fairytale-like scenery includes a castle, a tranquil lake and an island topped with a church. Maybe take a pletna boat ride (a wooden, awning-covered boat rowed by a special oarsman) across Lake Bled to its island, then climb the 99 steps to St Mary’s Church. After, be sure to seek out the famous Bled cream cake – nearly every cafe and cake shop in town claims their cream cake is the best! There’s also plenty of action for adrenaline junkies on offer today, so pick what suits you best, from rafting, caving and cycling to canoeing, boating or swimming. Tonight, maybe join your fellow travellers for dinner and try two other local specialties – struklji (rolled dumplings) and potica (nut roll) – before returning to Ljubljana.
Day 9 - Venice
This morning, travel by bus to Venice – the capital of northern Italy’s Veneto region, known for its canals and small islands connected by nearly 400 bridges. When you arrive, the day is free for you to explore. Maybe visit St Mark’s Basilica, the Rialto Bridge or Doge’s Palace (the ruler of Venice), ride a gondola through the romantic canals or seek out some tiramisu (coffee-soaked sponge cake) – the region’s specialty! Tonight, you might like to join your fellow travellers for dinner at a local restaurant to celebrate the last night of your trip.
Day 10 - Venice
With no further activities planned today, your trip comes to an end this morning. If you’d like to stay longer in Venice, just speak to your booking agent ahead of time.
