Enjoy the winter magic of Italy on our Venice Advent Trip from Zagreb! During the holiday season, this floating city shines with bright lights and charming canals. Also, you will travel in a warm, comfy bus with fellow guests. As a result, this day trip offers great culture and festive fun for €80.00 per person.
First, your trip starts at Zagrebački Velesajam (Zagreb Fair – South Entrance) early in the morning. Mainly, our guides speak Croatian on these winter tours. However, based on the group size, we also combine the tour with English or Spanish. Thus, our Venice Advent Trip from Zagreb is great for expats living across Croatia.
