Description
Varaždin's spruced-up historic core is a showcase of scrupulously restored baroque architecture and well-tended gardens and parks. Although Varaždin was overlooked for years in the tourism stakes, merely used as a transit point on the way to or from Hungary, travellers are now waking up to its appeal and increasingly coming here on day trips from Zagreb, 81km to the south.
