Weekend in Croatia - Zagreb city break and hiking in Plitvice lakes

Hello, I am Lavinia! I am from Romania, but I have 7 years living in London. I worked as a property manager for the last 5 years, but my work didn't give me the option to work remotely, so I ended my employment to take a break and catch up with my travels and make new friends. What's the plan? -Thursday: We plan to arrive in Zagreb Thursday afternoon/evening -Friday: we will explore the city of Zagreb, visiting the attractions, museums, and best restaurants. -Saturday and Sunday: we will be in the Plitvice lakes area, enjoying the beautiful nature and admiring the views. - Monday: we will be back in Zagreb for a last meal and catching our flights We will book a hotel for two nights in Zagreb, so Thursday and Friday. From Zagreb to Plitvice, we can either take a Flixbus or a rented car on Saturday morning We will get 1–2 nights accommodation close to Plitvice National Park, so we have time to hike and enjoy nature and the lakes. Saturday evening we should definitely have accommodation there, but we can also consider leaving Zagreb Friday evening to get a hotel close to the national park for two nights. This way, we can start hiking early morning on Saturday to avoid the crowds and get the best photos, then Sunday to relax and return to Zagreb. If not, we will do our best to get to the park as early as we can on Saturday and explore some more on Sunday. There are several routes to choose from and some include boat tour or bus shuttle, so we can walk as little or as much as we want. From Plitvice to Zagreb, we will take the same transportation back on Sunday evening, and we will get a hotel for the evening. Monday, we might be able to go to a museum or grab breakfast/lunch together before leaving to the airport. The price includes: - Accommodation - Transport between stops - 2 days entrance ticket to the national park See you in Croatia!
