Your own driver from Zagreb north to Trakošćan Castle, across to Varaždin, and back to Zagreb the same day.
Two stops in northern Croatia. The driver takes you to Trakošćan Castle first, then across to Varaždin, waits at each stop, and brings you back to Zagreb.
The route. North on the Croatian A2 motorway: about 80 km and roughly 1h 10m to Trakošćan, then about 40 km and roughly 55 minutes on county roads to Varaždin, and about 90 km and roughly 1h 10m back to Zagreb. The loop is about 210 km and roughly 3h 15m of driving, all within Croatia.
The places. Trakošćan Castle’s oldest layers are believed to date back to the 13th century, when it was a small fortress. Varaždin’s baroque centre was built on its medieval plan, and its Old Town is listed in the Register of Cultural Goods of Croatia.
The pace. The total driving is moderate, so much of the day is time at the two stops.
A castle in northern Croatia, held by the Drašković family from the second half of the 16th century until 1945, according to the castle museum.
A city in Varaždin County. The tourist board says baroque Varaždin was built according to the medieval plan, so traces of all historical periods are preserved in a relatively small area. From here it is about 1h 10m back to Zagreb.
