Worth it, absolutely lives up to the hype. Probably the most beautiful park in Europe. I have travelled all over Europe but Croatia is the #1 spot. Pro tip; visit this park in August/September, that way you dont have so many tourists. Also, if you are poor and without class (not saying that people with money have class), this is not the place for you.

What do you mean? How expensive can a lake be?

Imagine how magical it must have looked like for the first human to see it with deer in the shallow waters and everything just beautiful and wild..?

We went there in December, a lot of snow on the ground and much of it closed off. We took the free solar powered ferry around the lake then walked back. Not much water over the falls but a great day out. The drive from Zagreb was interesting as well.

Wow, it definitely is not worth visiting it in summer, by the looks of it! We went in winter, it was around £10pp, it was very quiet and it looked stunning covered in ice and snow! Also, nearby Plitvice is a town Rastoke, which is built over several waterfalls. It's a shame you missed it!

Unfortunately, it will be completely over crowded and in our opinion it "ruins" the experience. I know that the tours and buses are mostly between 10-3 but it's still a hassle rushing everything before the crowds. Depending on the closing times I'd recommend going around 3/4 and staying as the crowds dwindle.

Hi guys we visited Plitvice 2nd October and it was price drop weekend so we paid 20 pounds for two tickets which I think is a great price. 70 we think is too much to be honest. We got to entrance two at 8am and it was fairly quiet until around 11 when all the tours arrived. We did route H which was a 4-6 hour walk and by the time we reached the tall waterfall at 2.30 ish the crowds were too much so we headed back to our campsite. Overall we enjoyed our day in the park but more so with the discounted tickets we purchased. Loved the video guys and happy travels.

Lovely review guys, thank you. Trying to decide whether a visit in peak July is going to be worth it. Seems like a very early start will be needed to get there from Split 😕 Perhaps Krka would be a better shout. Out of interest, what would your favourite National Park in Europe be..?

Great video guys. I love seeing people like you discovering this planet and sharing your insights. I do really dissagree with including entree price into categorization of an natural beuty. It would be like rating the Rembrandt's "Night watch" low because museum ticket is not cheap.

Wow it did look very beautiful. I love the "slaps"🤣 not sure if I'd have paid £80 though but I guess when you're walking in amongst all the plants you get a more intimate feel for the place. Did they have a cafe there? X

^ I love your vids! So, idk if you remember but when you did Route C was it mostly walking down steps? And, if there was any steps going up on the route( besides the optional cave steps lol) were they difficult? I'm traveling with my parents who are a bit older and one who's knee acts up so i was just wondering. At 6:07 it seems like the longest steps up but not steep. Also, IF you remember( because i know its hard to remember everything from a trip) was it a long time between the entrance and the boat ride, and then after the boat ride was it a long time to the snack area. I worry about needing a bathroom hahaha, but i guess i can just skip drinking alot of water that day.

The majority of it is flat with a few stair detours which you don't have to take. Plus you can save the boat ride and bus ticket to use when you're most tired. We took the bus back nearly the length of the park. Lots of stopping points and toilets in between though so I think everyone would be ok!

You can walk as much as you want. We walked 21 km because we walked through the forest and entered though an unofficial place. But you can see the most famous area from a point of view literally 100m from entrance 1, or from the point of view where they went in the end of the video, without even paying entrance.

to be honest, it is not worth the entrance money at all, way too high priced. and it is really not that special. there are far better places of natural beauty
