The Plitvice Lakes National Park is Croatia's most popular tourist attraction. It was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 1979

Located roughly halfway between the capital city of Zagreb and Zadar on the coast, the lakes really are a must-see.

The best way to experience the Park is to walk or hike. This will allow you time to take in the beautiful surroundings and admire the many lakes, waterfalls as well as the wildlife and nature.

The Park prints out maps for a number of different walks, of varying lengths, that can be undertaken starting from either entrance - who's tough enough for the 8 hour sightseeing walk?!

There is also an electric boat that takes you from one side of the largest lake to the other. This boat runs all year round, more frequently during summer.

A "panoramic train" (i.e. a shuttle bus) also runs within a particular route in the park. You can walk part of the way through the park and then hop on the shuttle bus to take you back to one of the entrances.
