Plitvice Lakes National Park

Amazing park. So much green and waterfalls. We took route H to see most of the waterfalls. It never gets boring. Its easy to walk but you got to watch your steps at times. No markings at stairs. I would recommend doing some endurance practice before hand of your not sure your fit enough. There not many places for a toilet break. We visited in oktober. Is was not so crowded. Still would recommend booking in advanced! This park is really a must go. Top on my personal list.

I just returned from my day trip to Plitvice lake park and it’s truly heavenly. The lakes are a beautiful turquoise. There are plenty of viewing points. I visited in January first week. There was light snow and the weather was pleasant. Access to upper lakes was closed due to snow, we enjoyed the park nonetheless. I highly suggest visiting early in the morning if you’re planning to visit in winter as the sun goes down early and it can get very dark. The park closes at 3pm during winter, after which you cannot find any staff at info desks but a representative is available on call which was very helpful for us as we lost our way while returning. The tickets prices are very reasonable maybe because of off season but there is a student discount for students 26 and under and studying in Europe; must carry college ID as proof. The boat ride is beautiful. The trails are also clean and well kept. Would love to visit in summer next time! Definitely worth a visit!

The lakes were beautiful as always, we came during the off season when there are no crowds (nearly anyone) in the park. The natural beauty of the place never disappoints, however we were disappointed with the management in terms of blocking of certain areas. The whole upper lake was closed, and that was listed on their website, however when we got to the lower lakes (which were supposedly open) we were met with a barricade, and a notice that read “caution ice”, we chose to ignore it and go through, because that was the path that went really close to the water. Thank god we did because it was absolutely stunning, and there was little to no ice on the path.

You have to check out Plitvice Lakes National Park—it's like stepping into a fairy tale! The whole place is a series of cascading lakes and waterfalls, all connected by these wooden boardwalks that make you feel like you’re walking on water. The colors are unreal—like, the lakes are the most vibrant shades of turquoise, green, and blue. It almost looks like something out of a dream. One of the best things about it is how peaceful it feels. You’re surrounded by nature, and the sound of water everywhere is so calming. Each turn on the trail gives you a new view, whether it’s a massive waterfall or a serene, crystal-clear lake. The park is divided into upper and lower lakes, and both sections have their own unique charm. The upper lakes have more of the bigger waterfalls, while the lower lakes are all about the serene beauty and reflections. The park is huge, so you’ll want to give yourself plenty of time to explore. I’d recommend going early in the morning to beat the crowds because it can get pretty busy, especially in peak season. Also, wear comfortable shoes because there’s a lot of walking, but it’s totally worth it. There’s also a boat ride that takes you across one of the larger lakes, and it’s such a nice way to relax and take in the views from a different perspective. Honestly, it’s one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to, and I can’t recommend it enough.

This is one of the most beautiful experiences you could ever have it's like a fairytale come true I've never seen such a beautiful place on this planet if you make it to Croatia you absolutely positively must come here and see this incredible work of art from nature it will literally take your breath away!

So beautiful, it was a dream come true to visit. You can book tickets online in advance through the park website. We booked the earliest time possible on a weekday to avoid the crowds, definitely recommend going early! The routes are very well labeled. We took route C which had a good amount of walking, a boat ride and a bus ride. We completed the route in 2-3 hours with a stop for coffee. The falls were gorgeous and we were lucky to see some beautiful fall foliage

Make sure to visit this national park during your stay in Croatia. It’s an absolute must-see! We had a wonderful time exploring the park. The views were amazing, and the peaceful atmosphere made it even more enjoyable. I particularly loved the hiking trails, which offered a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty. Best of all, it wasn’t too crowded!

Went to the park on a Wednesday at around 13:30. Park wasn't crowded but still busy. Parking is easy as there is a lot of space but you might have to park a bit far depending on how many people. The park is actually beautiful, clean and peaceful. Hiking through it was very easy and the trails aren't hard or technical. Expect some stairs but only at specific sections. There are also different routes you can take and each takes a different amount of time. I had done route B which takes 3-4 hours but finished in around 3 hours 45 minutes as I did it at a relaxed pace. Everything is well organized including the trip back to the start of the trail with a big buss truck. Very enjoyable and would totally recommend to visit. There is a cafeteria at the end of the trail with sandwiches and drinks too. Just take a raincoat if you go around September as a storm hit out of the blue after few mins we started. Weather report had no mention of it so better be prepared just in case.
