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 si trova in Croazia, sulla costa adriatica. I mesi migliori per visitare: May, June, July, August, September. Per evitare le folla estive (luglio–agosto), si consiglia maggio–giugno o settembre–ottobre — il mare è ancora caldo, i prezzi sono più bassi e le attrazioni meno affollate. La Croazia è membro dell'UE dal 2013 e ha adottato l'Euro (EUR) nel gennaio 2023. Trova previsioni meteo, stime di affollamento e consigli di viaggio su questa pagina.
