Excellent food, good wines, pumpkin oil, and a hilly area of hardworking people.

The Varaždin area is a must-see in continental Croatia.

But – more important – Varaždin used to be the capital of Croatia.

Varaždin was the capital of Croatia from 1767 to 1776. At that time, beautiful baroque palaces and public buildings were built, giving it the characteristics of a baroque city.

It’s located on the banks of the Drava River and is surrounded by Zagorje, Podravina, Štajerska, and Međimurje.
