A Renaissance-era fortress town 55 km south of Zagreb built in the 16th century as a star-shaped defensive stronghold against Ottoman expansion — its original hexagonal plan is still clearly visible from the air. Karlovac sits at the confluence of four rivers (the Kupa, Korana, Mrežnica, and Dobra), and its riverside beaches are the nearest swimming spots to the Croatian capital, earning the city the nickname 'the city of four rivers.' The town's beautifully preserved Baroque old town, the Karlovac City Museum housed in a star fortress, and the nearby Mrežnica river make it an underrated gem of central Croatia.

Karlovac est situé en Croatie, sur la côte adriatique. Meilleurs mois pour visiter : May, June, July, August, September. Pour éviter les foules du pic estival (juillet–août), privilégiez mai–juin ou septembre–octobre — la mer reste chaude, les prix baissent et les attractions sont moins fréquentées. La Croatie est membre de l'UE depuis 2013 et a adopté l'Euro (EUR) en janvier 2023. Trouvez les prévisions météo, les prévisions de fréquentation et les conseils de voyage sur cette page.
