Croatia’s most beloved castle
There is a reason why Trakošćan gets so much praise and that reason is very simple – it is not left to rot like many other castles in Croatia. With by far the best condition it is a must see for any history buff, regardless from where you’re coming from.
Sure, everyone knows seaside in Croatia is the go-to destination – and rightly so – but *everyone* should make a detour or a day trip to this piece of history. I have visited Trakošćan many times, and I shall do so again in the future, when I’m in north Croatia that is.
Unfortunately, restaurant on the lake in the picture below doesn’t follow in the museum’s step in regards to quality. Looks really nice, if you’re thirsty I do recommend dropping by, but food was really nothing to write home about.
Overall, free parking, free toilets, magnificent views and a stunning museum exhibition definitely make it worth a visit. The only downside is the fact that photographing on the inside is not allowed. Come, enjoy alone or with a family, it will be worth it.
