# Valpovo

> Bron: https://photographbyjohn.com/locations/valpovo/ — Revealing Life Beyond the Lens (you see)


A Slavonian town whose Baroque Prandau Normann castle and park were built on the site of an older Ottoman and medieval stronghold.

Valpovo sits in Slavonia, a part of Croatia with its own character, and the city & town is the reason most people stop.

Mornings are quieter and cooler. Most old towns wake up slowly, so an early coffee is worth the effort.

## Practical info

- **Entry:** check the official source before you travel. Prices and opening hours change, and some spots close entirely out of season.
- **How to get there:** Tap the map for the route. Croatian town parking is mostly paid and marked with blue P signs; if your trip involves an island, build buffer time in for the ferry.

## Timing your trip

Plan Valpovo for **May to October**, with June and September the quietest warm months. July and August bring the crowds and the heat; winter is cheaper and handsomer than people expect, especially in the inland cities.
