If you want to continue your journey by bus consider one of these travel destinations: Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Plitvice Lakes, Porec, Rijeka, Rovinj, Split, Trieste, Venice, Zadar and Zagreb. Finally, new destinations are the best creators of new memories.
Zagreb, as a Croatian metropolis, offers a variety of content that you might not be able to meet anywhere else. But it would be unfair to say that in comparison to others Zagreb has everything. It has not! In Zagreb you won’t be able to find beautiful beaches and gorgeous, blue, sea. There’s no possibility of drinking cocktails on the beach and then splashing in salt water.
On the other hand, it has a beautiful city center. There is Medvednica. There are museums, galleries and theatres. Performances and concerts too. There are lakes, such as: Jarun, Bundek and Maksimir (Zagreb ZOO).
In Croatia nothing is too far. Here’s the list of places everyone should visit while on travel and it’s really long, but it could be much, much longer: Cres, Crikvenica, Krk, Losinj, Makarska, Novi Vinodolski, Pazin, Pozega, Samobor, Trogir, Umag, Varazdin, Vir, Vodice and Vukovar.
Outside of Croatia there are some nice places also covered by bus lines: Vienna, Budapest, Graz, Milan, Mostar, Munich, Padova, Prague, Sarajevo and Venice. After all, the journey is never too close or too far. What we discover is far from us and unobtrusive, yet close enough as we are deeply prepared to penetrate and get to know their different lifestyles.
