Plitvice is very nice park with waterfalls. One day is plenty, as for transportation – there should be buses, but check. There is a camping place and rooms for rent available not far from entrance to Plitvice park.

Plitvice is a beautiful park. It’s a great place to spend the day as you walk through. Not sure about transportation (we had a car and we drove there), but you should really try to fit it in.

Plitvice is a beautiful place – you can take a bus from Split, Zagreb and other major cities. There was a hotel right outside of the park, I didn’t stay there, but it looked nice. You can also rent rooms not too far away. There was a bus that headed to Zagreb at about 9pm.

If you go, make sure to bring a camera!

I would have replied sooner ,but I was visiting my son in Montana—another great place!

Plitvice is worth a one day side trip if you like waterfalls and beautiful scenery. Plan on a lot of walking – we kept seeing signs “to the boat” (at the end of the trail, you cross the water is a small boat) but it was a long hike .

Excellent photos of the lakes and waterfalls are available on-line.

I would also recommend Omis – on the coast south of Split. We took a small boat upriver to an old mill for lunch. Bread baked in outdoor ovens. Ask locally if this is still available, as I was there 27 years ago!
