Inland Croatia
FR
Slavonia and Central Croatia are the least touristy regions of Croatia, despite being home to the capital Zagreb and several beautiful sites (including a number of castles). However, the landscapes—mostly plains—are not particularly spectacular. Additionally, this part of Croatia may not match what many visitors seek, such as beaches, seaside resorts, or the rich heritage of coastal cities. In short, traveling here offers a different perspective on the country, with the added bonus of fewer crowds during the summer season.
