- Andra NicoaraJuly 22, 2015It's best if you don't visit right in the middle of summer, the air gets really moist and many pathways aren't in the shade. Also, go to the upper lakes first and descend to the boats, it's easier ;)
- Amy WangJuly 8, 2017Everyone says to get there early. You can also avoid crowds by getting there after 4pm! In summers it's open till 8pm.
- Rob MeijerJuly 9, 2013To take the folder picture follow route K up at the big waterfall. At the look out point you will see a second one. Go to the road, over the bridge and then right. There you can take this picture!
- Kyo SongMarch 26, 2016A must if you are visiting Croatia. Simply breathtaking all year around. Go early morning to beat the crowds but remember that photos may turn out better in the afternoon sun
- HauserJuly 26, 2017Don't need a tour guide. DIY: Arrive entrance 2 and from St 2 take the shuttle to St 3. Walk to P2 boat to P3. From P3 walk to St 1, take shuttle back to St 2. Can be completed in 6-8 hours.
- Mohammed Abu HajarAugust 1, 2019This the best natural park i ever seen in my life, bur the road is very tide and you need to go early as its big and you have to wear sporty dress there a lot of walking around, try to stay there.
- KellyMay 17, 2021Taking Trail C gives you a great overview of both the upper and lower lakes. It’s about 8km and includes a boat and tram ride. If this park isn’t on your bucket list, it should be.
- Thomas DefiseAugust 21, 2019Visited Mid-August and here are the tips. 1) Take your tickets online 2/3 day before, choice 7 or 8am and go there a bit earlier. 2) At the end you can paddle for 100 Kuna/Boat/hour (4 ppl max.) 🛶
- Andra ZapartanJuly 28, 2014Absolutely wonderful! Get there early in the morning and start one of those pre-established trails (2-8 hours). You'll have the chance to take a train ride and a boat ride, both included in the price.
- Tristan ComleyAugust 16, 2018Takes a day to amble around this national park but it’s a day very well spent. Best to avoid the 12-4 slot though if you can in the summer as it’s incredibly busy!
- Kim HyeJuly 23, 2014the Greatest view! Don't forget to bring your hiking boots,at least sneakers! Big waterfull, an emerald lakes, you can feel you are the happiest person in the world. One day for adults is 180kn.
- Camilla PerondiAugust 16, 2015Loved this place, despite the mass of people walking on the same sharp trail. There are different paths that can be chosen accordingly to the time and energies you have. It lacks of trash cans.
- AlexFebruary 16, 2015Probably better in summer. But it was a different experience with 1m of snow while trying to see around and it was funny that they said it is our own responsibility to tour around :) Still amazing.
- Andrea BarrezuetaSeptember 11, 2016Excruciatingly beautiful scenery.. Gotta love the Lonely Planet's description. Bring hiking shoes and go. Longest hike can take up to 6 hours but there are shorter and beautiful routes too. Worth it.
- Amaury JMay 4, 2017One of the most beautiful parks I've seen. Take route H or K, the long ones, to see most of the park. It's not a hard hike, just lengthy. These include a ferry ride, too. Set around 4-6 hours here.
- Silas CheungMay 31, 2017Personally I prefer upper lakes! If you've time, do visit all of them! Definitely worth the time for this natural wonder! I'd recommend that 1 night (2 day) stay would be more than enough.
- LamAugust 5, 2017Come late in the afternoon (around 5.30PM), get a two day ticket, do a 2-3h route. Return the next day at 7AM, breeze by the line and be the first to enjoy the rest of the park.
- Alejandro Martinez FarinaSeptember 22, 2017Beautiful natural place, very well designed for big crowed of tourists so you will still enjoy it and be able to have a good look of the nature. UNESCO park so you should visit it!
- Jiexi CaoMay 25, 2015Amazing park! Even though there are unticketed entrances, you should probably go to the main entrance. Path K near the restaurant is not well maintained, so it is a more difficult hike.
- Juanxito GómezAugust 7, 2018It's the most amazing natural park that I've ever visited. You need to have time for walk through every part of this park, but the view, nature and water is amazing.
- European ParliamentJune 22, 201316 sparkling lakes, crashing waterfalls and home to bears, wolves and 120 species of birds, UNESCO World Heritage site Plitvice is not only Croatia's largest national park - it is the most popular. Read more
- * p A u L * CAugust 30, 2011One day visit: Entrance 2. Take bus from ST2 to route E to see upper lakes (2-3 hours). Stop at P2 and take boat to P3 and take route A to big waterfall and lower lakes (2 hours). Take bus to ST2.
- Alexandra TritzSeptember 19, 2017Beautiful lakes and waterfalls. The C trail is perfect to see all the waterfalls. Go there early so you can see a maximum of lakes and snap a ton of pictures !
- Markiyan MatsekhAugust 15, 2014The most beautiful part - big waterfall - can be reached free of charge. Just follow the F route. You will also see many more smaller nice waterfalls and save 22 euro per person. Takes 1-2 hours
- Amit BhatJune 8, 2014Amazing place! Take route H, and don't give up till you reach the end. Carry sufficient water and eatables to have inbetween. Restaurants are available at P1,P2 and P3
- Sam AttwellMay 13, 2015Beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Easy to follow walking routes, though many have steps with sharp inclines. Take a pack lunch and get an ice cream at the boat stops.
- ruX 😮August 14, 2017Absolute disrespect from the venue. We arrived at 8am on Monday(!) and queue was already 200(!) meters long. Why not to add more tills??
- David RSeptember 12, 2019Worth a day trip. He lower lakes are really incredible. Recommend going in fall or spring to avoid the crowds. Guided tours are pretty cheap and advised.
- hussein sSeptember 18, 2018A UNESCO heritage site, breathtaking landscapes. While sleeping on the site, tickets can be used the next day. Have them stamped at the hotel. The trails can be better indicated. 2 days to see all
- Nick GreifJune 29, 2012Several hours from Croatia's touristy coast or main city, Plitvice is still a must see. It's crowded, and touristy, but still worth it in every way. Nature doesn't get more majestic than this.
- Wadi AntounApril 11, 2015Must visit in Croatia! Timing is tricky: in the summer it's all green and beautiful but is too crowded. I visited in April. The lakes are wonderful, it was very peaceful but nothing had blossomed yet.
- Justyna BajerAugust 1, 2013Prepare yourself for a long walk. Most of the path are so beautiful that it is shame not to go there. Try to come very early - there is a lot of people most of the time.
- Johnny KoutiolasApril 26, 2022Extraordinary nature experience. Beautiful lakes and waterfalls. Take a route that goes to the big waterfall (i.e. F). It's really worth it
- WoutAugust 10, 2014Great walk with beautiful waterfalls! Quite expensive though... Start early (7-8am) and take a water bottle +packed lunch! We wore flip-flops which came in handy because some paths were flooded.
- Ssmmgg OzglcOctober 27, 2017One of the beautiful place in croatia...go alone and walk walk walk into peace...Choose uncrowded paths and listen water and nature voice...Waterfalls are my favourites
- Aslak PerssonJuly 23, 2018Very beautiful and fantastic. To many people taking to many selfies blocking the walkway.
- JKMay 20, 2016The view from the top is much better than below. Beware you will get wet near the waterfall
- Brit SwinSeptember 20, 2013This visit is a must! Leave early in the morning before the big groups. Go from north (entrance 1) to south. Route C may not be the hardest one, but it's the most beautiful one.
- Jenny SJuly 13, 2016Stay till the last hour because everyone is gone by then. They probably all went in the morning ;) If you stay in the hotels in the park you can extend your park ticket for free
- Alex ChenJuly 26, 2015Don't miss the overlook tucked away above the high waterfall. It's a small hike, but gives a high view over the lower lakes which you see on the ticket.
- Volker FränkleSeptember 5, 2018Avoid peak times: start at 7am for the upper areas, leave the park, return towards closing time for the lower areas (Big Fall). Or vice versa. Upper areas will take more time. Lower areas approx. 1h
- Dilek IAugust 1, 2014it is the oldest in Southeast Europe. Over thousands of years, water flowing over limestone and chalk created natural dams and eventually, beautiful lakes, caves and waterfalls.
- Nancy WuSeptember 26, 2018If you take the ferry, always take it from P2 to P3, not the other direction. P3 always has a long wait to get to P2 (towards the upper lakes) and the ferries come every 30 min or so.
- Zach RJuly 9, 2015Stunning scenery. This is the epitome of how a national park should be run- clean, organized, and plenty of information provided throughout the park.
- DimitraApril 29, 2022One of the most spectacular places I’ve ever been. The nature is crazy here. Be sure to buy the tickets online at least a day before your visit.
- Ana PimentaJune 5, 2015Scenic views, amazing lakes and waterfalls, fantastic colour of the water. A must go in Croatia!
- Chris CharlesAugust 23, 2019To avoid overcrowding in summer season book tickets 2 days in advance online and arrive after 4pm. Park in car park 1 and follow trail to boat. Then catch the 7:30 boat back followed by bus.
- ClareJune 5, 2013Spent 4hrs here taking photos. Bring a polarizer lens if you want to capture water movement, and hope for a cloudy day! Spend most time at lower lakes - best views climbing/walking up towards falls
- SmS KJanuary 1, 2020One day is not enough to explore these nature wonder! Plan at least two days to fully experience and enjoy here 😉
- Maisoon MaSeptember 11, 2018This place is a peace of heaven on earth, tickets over priced but it worths a try, after 4:30 the weather started to cool, you can take boat from st2&st1 don’t believe the girls working in info.
