A trip from Zagreb to Dubrovnik is not your backpacker’s typical European tour — it’s way better. In one week, venture from historic Zagreb along the Adriatic Coast to stunning Dubrovnik. Along the way, you’ll hit the highlights — did we mention the beautiful lakes of Plitvice or the island of Hvar? But you’ll also discover a Europe too often ignored by travelers. Party in exclusive clubs and wander historic and picture-perfect old lanes. Come away from Europe with more than just great photographs — travel with young and fun travelers, and you’ve got friends for life.
