Croatia by bike is the ideal solution for those who want to combine adrenaline and beauty, relaxation, and the desire to experience slow tourism. It’s perfect for the whole family, bringing together two great passions: the sea and cycle tourism.
The choices are endless, all equally attractive: from the Istrian Peninsula through the Kvarner Islands and the mountainous regions of Gorski Kotar, along roads connecting the Lika region to the city of Karlovac. The mountains of the Dinaric Alps, the Dalmatian coast, the wheat fields of Slavonia. And then, the green river valleys with villages and castles, country residences, and churches of Central Croatia, leading to the urban cycling routes of the capital city, Zagreb.
Not to be missed: the Mura and Drava cycling route, which has been attracting cyclists for years, offering a multi-day tour from the source to the mouth of these two rivers.
UNESCO Cities and Other Wonders
But the country is not just about nature: fascinating UNESCO World Heritage cities and sites are easily accessible by bike, making your journey even richer. And for a truly immersive vacation, there’s nothing better than staying on a boat, with bikes on board, enjoying romantic sunsets after a day of cycling.
Depending on your fitness level and cycling skills, every turn brings something extraordinary. Here, you can marvel at medieval fortresses, rejuvenate in thermal springs, and explore natural parks, vineyards, lakes, and rivers. With each conquered hill, new wonders await travelers.
Cycling Tourism Services
Cycling tourism is growing, and with it, dedicated services are emerging, from bike rental points and specialized workshops to shops selling equipment and spare parts. There are also options for transfers and guided tours, whether for multi-stage routes or one-day excursions.
The choices and offerings are vast. There are multi-day tours to the most sought-after destinations, with or without a guide. You can explore the trails of Croatia’s national and nature parks or combine relaxation on a cruise with cycling between islands, stopping at small ports and fishing villages.
Exploring the landscape by bike means discovering Croatia’s beauty from a unique perspective. Whether you prefer dirt roads or paved routes, Croatia offers numerous opportunities for unforgettable cycling adventures.
