Central Croatia is a region located in the heart of Croatia, covering the districts of Gorski Kotar, Lika and Croatian Zahirja. All these areas are continental, hilly and mountainous and very different from Slavonia or coastal Croatian territories both in terms of landscape and climate.
These areas of Croatia are popular destinations for visitors who aren't so fond of beaches, but prefer breathtaking mountain views, walking and hiking, skiing in the winter, and visiting the many baroque sites and palaces.
The charming Croatian Zahirja awaits you here, the northwestern region of Croatia, dotted with small wooded hills with churches, romantic castles and well-kept vineyards. This region has one of the highest concentrations of castles in Europe. The sparsely populated interior of Croatia, which is beautifully preserved, offers tranquility, unparalleled views, delicious local delicacies and excellent wines of the region.
