# Velika Gorica

A town south of Zagreb on the edge of the Turopolje woodland, long the gateway to the capital's airport and the lowland oak forests.

Velika Gorica sits in Central Croatia, 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:** confirm entry fees and hours on the official site before you set out. They shift with the season, and some places shut altogether off-season.
- **How to get there:** Tap the map above for exact directions. In Croatian towns parking is usually signposted and paid, look for the blue P zones. If you are island hopping, leave buffer time for the ferries.

## When to go

Velika Gorica is at its best from **May to October**. June and September are the sweet spot, warm water, long days, and thinner crowds than high July and August. Winter shows a quieter, cheaper and surprisingly handsome country, especially inland and in the cities.
