Balkan Elegance A Winter Sojourn

If you’ve ever looked at a map and thought, “I don’t know much about this part,” you’re not alone. The Balkans tend to fly under the radar, but that’s also what makes them special.

On this journey, we trace this past through cobble

Day by day

9 unhurried days — tap any day to see its hotel, meals and sights beside you.

  1. As you arrive in Zagreb, settle into your hotel and get ready to explore. Breakfast may be behind you, but your first Croatian lunch awaits when we link up with travellers from Slovenia.

    Later in the afternoon, we head out for a panoramic tour with a local guide through the Upper Town, cathedral quarter, and leafy avenues. You’ll catch glimpses of Austro-Hungarian elegance and modern Croatian pulse all at once. With the day’s impressions settling in, gather for dinner at a local Indian restaurant.

    After your meal, rest easy as we tuck in for the night here in Zagreb’s cozy quarters.

I am extremely glad that I chose Cox n Kings to curate my Europe Holiday in Switzerland and Austria. Their Assistant Manager Mr Faizan Khan who is vastly experienced gave valuable and meaningful insights for the trip be it choosing a place or even hotel to stay at. His colleague Naresh Verma acted swiftly by providing hotel and transport vouchers besides duly explaining travel tips. We found both of them highly skilled and thorough professionals besides exhibiting warmth, kindness and unmatched courtesy. We heartily express our deepest gratitude and sincere thanks to Cox and Kings for making our Europe trip a memorable experience for us.

Thanks for arranging all the things. It was a great tour. Yeah, would have wanted a guide at all the places. Like yesterday, when we went around Oxford. Nevertheless, it was a great tour. Loved watching all the architectural delights and ofcourse all the arrangements. Thanks for all the things! Enjoyed the trip. Except at certain points missed having guide with us.
